Time Running Out for Hip Replacement Claims


The Statute of Limitations has a two year period within which a person must issue court proceedings for personal injury. If you have a De Puy hip replacement and want to bring a claim for damages for a defective product, you should contact Vincent Shannon of Shannons Solicitors Swords by e-mailing vincent@shannons.ie for advice on the deadlines imposed by the Statute of Limitations.

We all know that our joints and knees need to be replaced to keep pace with modern living. The most popular replacements are hip and knee. Zinumi and DePuy are two of the most popular replacements but there have been many defects reported in components manufacturing. Lots of litigation is currently before the courts in America and Europe because of fractures, pseudtumors, permanent muscle damage and other complications. Consumer confidence in these products has plummeted. They were supposed to have been long term replacement solutions but now the normal  amount of time is ten years.

Shannons Solicitors in Swords can help with your lawsuit against Zinumi or DePuy and their defective joint implants. Due to the complexity of the issue, we have set up a dedicated website to provide information about recalls at www.recalledhipeurope.eu We consult with our clients to inform them of the possibilities of settlements that they may be entitled to regarding their hip or knee implant.

  7. These devices have harm enough people. The manufacturer should stop marketing and focus on fixing on what's been causing patients to experience such excruciating pain. I've read an article about Wright Conserve hip replacement lawsuits and due to metallosis or metal poisoning patients that expects a successful surgery turned out to be a huge failure.

  8. Here in the US we also have statue of limitations, but differs from state to state. Usually these timelines are one, two or three years, depending on states, and usually starts at the moment of sustaining the injury. This is where things starts to be tricky. Someone can suffer an injury and notice it only years after. Again, starting time of the statue of limitation vary from state to state, in some states it may start at the moment when the injury had happened, or it may start in the moment of the discovery of the injury. It is always recommended to discuss these limitations with an attorney. This is also true for legal action concerning the recalled hip replacement systems. If someone is aware that he has a recalled product, might want to talk with an attorney in his state about statue of limitation regarding a product liability claim.
    A website offering legal advice along with other information about defective and recalled hip implants can be found at: http://www.defectivehip.org/.
