Should Surgeries Come With Warranties?
How would you feel if you had undergone a major surgery, only to find a couple of years down the road that the medical device implanted during the surgery was causing a renewed round of pain and tissue damage? This has been the experience of thousands of individuals who had hip replacement surgery in the past decade. DePuy Orthapaedics ASR Hip Replacement and Resurfacing Systems have been found to fail at an alarming rate of up to 13%. Worse yet is the fact that it took the company several years to issue the DePuy hip recall, despite strong evidence that the systems were flawed. To top it all off, patients who have been implanted with the faulty device now face a painful second surgery and another long recovery. No doubt DePuy and its parent company Johnson & Johnson will hear from plenty of irate consumers on the coming months and years.
During 2010, Zimmer, Inc. recalled 65,000 parts used in its popular knee replacement systems. I have been doing some research and found that there are many Zimmer NexGen Knee Recall Lawyers who specialize in cases against the company. A knee replacement surgery is a horrible ordeal in the first place, and patients whose Zimmer parts are failing will have to go through the surgery again. Suing the company will help you recover your medical costs and compensate you for your suffering.
