DePuy ASR Lawsuit

Following the August 2010 recall of the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, hundreds of patients are filing a DePuy ASR lawsuit against the manufacturer to secure compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering experienced as a result of the defective hip replacement devices.

Who May File a DePuy ASR Lawsuit?

All patients who suspect they have been fitted with either the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System or the ASR Hip Resurfacing System and are experiencing adverse side effects as a result of the devices may be eligible to receive compensation for current and future medical expenses.

Filing a DePuy ASR lawsuit ensures that a patient will be represented in any future legal actions taken against DePuy Orthopaedics, the division of Johnson & Johnson which manufactured the devices.

How Can a DePuy ASR Lawsuit Provide Assistance?

Any patients who have undergone a “revision surgery,” or a follow-up surgery to replace a defective hip implant device, may benefit from filing a DePuy ASR lawsuit. Individuals may be able to receive compensation for the following expenses incurred as a result of the recalled DePuy ASR devices:

• Blood tests
• Ultrasounds of the hip
• Pain and suffering
• Lost wages or loss of earning capacity
• X-rays
• Chelation therapy to correct metal toxicity
• Pain medications
• Future medical expenses or hip-related surgeries
