Rockford Zimmer Implant Injury Attorney
Have you been dealing with complications from a hip replacement? You can get help with your claim for compensation from a Zimmer hip implant lawyer.
When you decided to undergo hip implant surgery, it was likely because you had no other choice. For you to be mobile, enjoy your life, and eliminate the pain that your failing hip was causing you, you agreed to a surgery that was supposed to improve your life and health.
If a defective hip replacement product injured you instead of healing you, be aware that you have options. By filing an injury claim against the creators of the product that harmed you, you can obtain compensation for all of your monetary losses, as well as compensation for the pain and suffering you were forced to endure.
Metal-on-metal hip implants have been causing many people severe injuries. That includes the Zimmer hip implant product that was recalled in 2015. You can and should be compensated for the injuries a subpar product caused you. Contact a Zimmer implant injury attorney with Mahoney & Mahoney, LLC to get started on your claim today.
Filing a Zimmer Implant Injury Claim
Filing a personal injury claim for any reason is difficult, stressful, and complex. You’re already dealing with enough stress because a defective product has injured you. Contacting a Zimmer hip implant injury lawyer can give you the help you need to get started on your case right away.
Metal-on-metal hip implants can harm recipients because of corrosion, metal getting into the bloodstream (metal poisoning), joint damage, and even bone fractures. The Zimmer implant has caused injury to many victims because the product was not tested properly and wasn’t safe.
Common issues with the Zimmer implants included the following:
- Pain from the device
- The implant coming loose, necessitating replacement or revision surgery within the first year
- The Durom Cup often failed within months of implantation
Types of Compensation You’re Eligible For
After receiving the Zimmer implant, you could have experienced the following:
- Pain
- Mobility issues
- Medical care to replace or repair the previous hip implant
Because of all the ways your hip implant has caused you to suffer, you can pursue damages in civil court. Damages you’re eligible to receive compensation for could be monetary in nature, but they could also include the way this experience has negatively impacted your life.
Your metal-on-metal hip implant injury lawyer can see to it that you obtain compensation for some or all of the following damages, depending on your unique circumstances:
- Pain and suffering
- Missed work wages
- Mobility issues
- Permanent injury
- Cost of medical care
- Any other costs this issue has caused for you
