Tyler Hip Replacement Failure Attorneys
In August 2010, Johnson & Johnson and its DePuy Orthopedics subsidiary announced a voluntary recall of the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System — used widely in the U.S. since its approval in 2005 — and the DePuy Hip ASR Hip Resurfacing System. Approximately 93,000 people have been affected by this recall, which is the manufacturers' response to clear, mounting evidence that these devices are prone to failure.
At Colley & Colley, L.L.P., of Austin and East Texas, we are currently counseling and taking action for clients injured by a defective DePuy hip implant or facing decisions related to the recall and a potential settlement. If you or a loved one has been injured, please call or e-mail our firm today and request a free consultation.
Has Your Replacement Hip Failed, or Are You Experiencing Increasing Pain?
The DePuy ASR system uses a metal-on-metal joint replacement system. In some cases, the device creates metallic debris, which can lead to serious inflammation and tissue damage. Some of the symptoms include swelling, pain and difficulty walking. In some cases, a second, painful and costly "revision" surgery is required to replace the DePuy ASR system. You may be able to recover significant compensation if your hip implant has failed or is causing severe complications.
Our attorneys, Paul Colley Jr. and Susan Colley, have decades of experience taking on large medical and pharmaceutical manufacturers that market dangerous products. Paul is a seasoned litigator with a track record of many millions in recoveries obtained across Texas and elsewhere in the U.S.
