The Stryker Hip Lawyer: A Guide to Massachusetts Stryker Hip Litigation

There are currently over 2,300 lawsuits filed against Stryker, the manufacturer of the ABGII and Rejuvenate hip implants. After an aggressive marketing campaign in early 2010 in which Stryker advertised the innovative new design of their hip devices, the company was forced to issue a recall, barely more than two years later. Despite claims that the innovative new hip implant design would not only last longer than other hip implants, but was safer, hundreds of adverse event reports were sent to the FDA, detailing Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip metallosis, Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip chromium and cobalt blood poisoning and Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip pseudotumors.

 

The metal parts of the Stryker components were found to rub against one another, causing fretting and corrosion and the release of excess metal ions into the body. Many patients suffered Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip implant failure, requiring them to undergo risky and expensive Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip revision surgery. Shortly after the recall, lawsuits began being filed. As of this juncture, seventeen lawsuits have settled through mediation for an undisclosed amount, and more are currently in the varying stages of mediation. Bellwether cases are being chosen which will be representative of a large group of Stryker cases. These bellwether cases are meant to give all those involved in Stryker cases a good idea of how judges and juries will react to testimony and evidence.

 

How the Massachusetts Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII Hip Statute of

Limitations May Affect You

It is very important that you understand your state’s statute of limitations and how it may impact your legal rights in your Stryker case. Your main concern regarding your Massachusetts Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip statute of limitations will be when your statute of limitations will run. The statutes can be very complex, and many wonder whether their own statute will run from the date of implantation, the date of the recall, or the date when you first discovery your injury. The Massachusetts Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip statute of limitations is three years from the date your injury occurred, however that date may be difficult to accurately determine.

 

You may have become ill soon after your Stryker hip implantation yet not connected your illness to your hip implant, or perhaps it was only after the Stryker hip recall that you realized your adverse health symptoms were related to your defective hip device. It is important that you speak to an experienced Massachusetts Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you do not miss your window of opportunity.
