Factors Which May Increase What I Am Owed Under the Stryker Rejuvenate Settlement

May 18, 2015 - You may be one of the thousands of people eligible to participate in the Stryker Rejuvenate settlement if you received a recalled Stryker ABGII or Rejuvenate and later were forced to undergo Stryker hip revision surgery. The details of the Stryker hip settlement were released in early November, 2014. Most of those who received Stryker hip revision surgery will be eligible to receive a base payment award of $300,000. There are a number of factors which will increase the amount you are entitled to under the settlement. Some of those Stryker hip settlement enhancement factors include:

·         Infection related to revision surgery could qualify patients for $30,000-$75,000 in enhancements; if the infection was severe enough to require nursing facility confinement, $15,000-$60,000 the patient could qualify for an additional $15,000-$60,000 in enhancement award.

·         The development of foot drop after Stryker revision surgery (or re-revision surgery) could qualify the patient for enhancement payments from $20,000-$288,000. The exact amount is dependent upon the patient’s age and the level of severity of foot drop.

·         Antibiotic IV treatment which the patient was forced to undergo for six weeks or longer which is directly related to Stryker revision surgery may qualify the patient for $10,000 in enhancement payments.

·         Patients who suffered a pulmonary embolism while in the hospital for Stryker revision surgery could receive $20,000-$35,000 in enhancements.

·         Patients who suffered a stroke while in the hospital for Stryker revision surgery could be eligible for $85,000-$516,000. The exact amount will depend on the patient’s age at the time of the stroke as well as the severity of the stroke. 

·         If the replacement implant the patient received following their Stryker revision surgery had to be removed because of loosening or infection, the patient could qualify for as much as $175,000 in enhancement payments.

·         If a patient suffered a heart attack while hospitalized for Stryker revision surgery, the patient could qualify for $66,000-$360,000 in enhancements. The exact amount is dependent on the patient’s age at the time of the heart attack as well as the severity of the heart attack.

·         Patients who require re-revision surgery are eligible to receive $175,000 for the first re-revision surgery and $100,000 for each additional re-revision surgery.

·         Death while hospitalized for any surgery related to the failure of a Stryker Rejuvenate or ABGII could qualify the dependents of the deceased to $100,000-$600,000. The exact amount of enhancements will depend on the age of the patient at the time of his or her death as well as the number of dependents.

·         Qualified claimants who lost wages due to a Stryker revision or re-revision surgery may be eligible for lost wages equaling 20% of their annual income for two years prior to Stryker revision surgery (not to exceed $200,000).

 

Am I eligible to participate in the Stryker Hip Settlement Agreement?

What if I have not yet undergone Stryker Hip Revision Surgery?


There are additional Stryker hip settlement enhancements available which are detailed in the Stryker Master Settlement Agreement. The cost of your surgery and subsequent hospital stay, as well as necrosis of tissue and bone, the presence of pseudo-tumors, the presence of polycythemia Vera caused by cobalt poisoning, and other cardiac problems may all qualify you for Stryker hip monetary compensation under the Stryker hip settlement agreement. In order to receive the Stryker hip settlement enhancements you are entitled to following your Stryker hip revision surgery, it could be extremely beneficial to speak to an experienced Stryker hip lawyer.
