These clients deserve justice for the pain and suffering DePuy Orthopedics, Inc. caused and that is exactly what we are working for.

Plaintiffs claim damages as a result of the implantation of the recalled DePuy Hip Replacement devices including: economic losses; medical expenses; past, present and future pain and suffering; permanent physical injuries; disfigurement and emotional distress.
