If you have received a metal on metal hip replacement, especially the DePuy ASR models, you could be entitled to claim compensation.
Hip Compensation Claims is the no win no fee service which will help you get the most compensation in the shortest possible time if you have a defective metal on metal hip implant.
The DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System and DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System have been recalled by manufacturers DePuy (part of Johnson and Johnson) after serious problems were identified with them. Metal particles from the hip implants were found to contribute to non-cancerous tumours and badly damage the tissue around the implant. Concerns were also raised around the implants’ high failure rate.
Other types of metal on metal hip implants could also be affected so contact us and your doctor if you think you might be at risk.
You might be experiencing pain in the hip and groin area, clicking of the implant, swelling and difficulty getting around or even loss of feeling in your legs. These can all be signs of a defective metal on metal hip implant.
The Depuy ASR models have been identified as problematic by the manufacturer which means that even though you may not have any symptoms, you could still make a no win no fee compensation claim.
Your surgeon should be in contact if they think you are at risk and in some cases may offer you a revision operation. If this has happened then contact us as soon as possible for advice on making a no win no fee compensation claim.
