1. Stryker Agrees To Be In Four Metal Hip Litigations As Hundreds More Loom
The first suit against a Mahwah-based medical-device manufacturer was filed in Hackensack,
asserting the company produced and sold faulty hip replacement components that caused significant
complications in patients. The litigation filed in Superior Court, Bergen County, alleges that
Howmedica Osteonics Corporation, better called Stryker Orthopedics, marketed the apparatus called
"Rejuvenate," a product the company voluntarily recalled last month "due to possible dangers."
Stryker also recently announced that it had retained Broadspire Services , Inc., a third party claims
administrator, to work directly with patients to handle medical claims and tackle out-of-pocket costs
relating to the Stryker Rejuvenate recall. Bernstein Liebhard LLP is advising patients that they should
consider speaking with a lawyer before they begin a Broadspire Stryker claim, as any information
they reveal in the course of the claims procedure could be used as evidence in their Stryker hip
lawsuit.
The Stryker hip recall was not the first of its kind. In August 2010, Johnson & Johnson recalled the
DePuy ASR metal-on-metal hip implants because of their high failure rates frequently resulting in
alteration surgery. The DePuy ASR hip replacement caused related issues as the Stryker Rejuvenate
and ABG hip implants. There are currently over 4,000 lawsuits pending in state and federal courts
over the DePuy Pinnacle metal-on-metal hip implant, and overconcerning the recalled DePuy ASR
implants. Although the recalled Stryker hip parts will not be used alone in steel-on-steel hips,
because the elements themselves are made of metal, it usually leads similar issues.
We're pleased to see this litigation moving forward. We've discovered from numerous people
affected by the Stryker Rejuvenate recall that have suffered premature failure of the implant and
other debilitating problems, says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a national law firm representing the victims
of faulty drugs and medical devices. The Business is offering free Stryker hip suit assessments to
individuals who suffered metallosis, hip implant failure and other complications, connected to the
Stryker Rejuvenate recall.

2. Individual personal injury claims are usually preferable for plaintiffs that have suffered greater
injuries than the typical plaintiff in a class action suit. By way of example, a Stryker class action
lawsuit settlement would be split evenly among the class members, but it may not be enough to
compensate your injuries. Individual plaintiffs are often capable to settle for more harms than
members of a class-action, which is why our lawyers sometimes recommend filing an individual
Stryker hip implant lawsuit for people who were badly injured. Stryker Lawsuit Settlement
