Stryker Hip Settlement Information that Connecticut Stryker Hip Implant Recipients Should Know

December 24, 2014 - Stryker Corporation has recently agreed to a settlement in its multidistrict litigation over its Rejuvenate and ABGII metal hips. Read more about the settlement agreement here.

Connecticut Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII Hip Statute of Limitations

If you are one of the approximate 20,000 recipients of a recalled Stryker Rejuvenate or ABGII, you may be wondering how much time you have in which to file a lawsuit against the company. The statutes of limitations vary from state to state, with many states operating under a two-year statute for product liability cases. The Connecticut Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip statute of limitations allows three years from the time your injury is discovered—or should have been discovered—in which to file suit. Connecticut additionally has a ten-year statute of repose, which is broader than the statute of limitations and is not dependent upon a specific injury.

 

The Connecticut statute of repose begins at the time the manufacturer or seller “parts” with the device—in this case, the Stryker hip implant. It is important that you contact an experienced Connecticut Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip lawyer regarding the Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip statute of limitations, as this area of law can be quite complex. You do not want to miss your window of opportunity for filing a lawsuit against the corporation which apparently had little regard for the health of consumers, and the only way to be sure of your rights is to speak to a knowledgeable Connecticut Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip lawyer.

 

Status of Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII Hip Lawsuits

If you have suffered Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip implant failure, Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip metallosis or Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip chromium and cobalt poisoning, you will want to ensure your right to file suit against Stryker is properly preserved. There are currently over 2,300 lawsuits against Stryker, and seventeen out of eighteen cases have been settled during mediation, although the details of those settlements remain confidential. Bellwether cases are currently in progress; lead cases will be picked which are representative of distinct groups, such as those who received a Stryker hip and have pain but have had no surgical intervention, a person with elevated metal levels in their blood, a person who suffered complications and required a hip revision surgery and a person who has two Stryker hips which failed and required revision. The Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip multidistrict litigation is concentrated in New Jersey, Minnesota and Florida currently, although there are some individual Stryker cases being tried in most states.

 

When to Call a Connecticut Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII Hip Lawyer

If you feel like you have suffered serious, adverse health issues directly related to your Stryker ABGII or Rejuvenate, it could be time to speak to an attorney about filing a Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip lawsuit. If you have suffered Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip implant failure and were forced to undergo Stryker revision surgery, you may be entitled to compensation for the medical expenses, lost wages, as well as your pain and suffering. Stryker revision surgery is considered to be much riskier than the original hip implant surgery, as it can take several hours to remove the Stryker implant, putting you at risk for infection and excessive blood loss. The recovery time for Stryker revision surgery can be as long as six weeks, leaving you unable to work for that period of time.
