The FDA has received numerous complaints from doctors about the high failure rates of hip implant replacements done in the last several years. Doctors have found that the hip implant replacements have left toxic levels of cobalt and chromium in many patients. It has been determined that the particles found in the body can cause soft tissue damage and bone loss.
Patients who have received these implants have suffered pain, infection, bone fracture and high metal ion levels in their bloodstream – to name just a few. Because of this, DePuy Orthopaedics is recalling its ASR XL Acetabular Hip Systems and ASR Hip Resurfacing Systems.
Patients who have had hip replacement surgery with metal-on-metal implants manufactured by DePuy ASR may be entitled to medical monitoring and compensation. If you or a family member were injured by one of these defective medical devices, I urge you to contact an experienced Riverside County Personal Injury attorney to determine if you are eligible to file a claim for compensation against the manufacturer.

Recently I overheard a conversation about a woman that slipped in a grocery store. She hurt her lower back but did not know what to do about it and if she could do anything about it. I introduced myself and told her I am a personal injury attorney.
I asked her if she had inspected the area where she fell – if anything was on the floor in her way, and did anyone see her fall. She said the floor had some liquid on it and she slipped on that. She said there were several witnesses and yes, she did get their names and phone numbers. I asked her if she had spoken to the manager of the store and she said she did report it and he wrote down all the details. He was not aware of the spill.
I advised her that she could probably receive compensation for her injuries, which include medical bills, any lost income and pain and suffering. I told her to see her doctor immediately even though the pain had subsided somewhat. An experienced personal injury attorney can advise if a lawsuit is applicable against the grocery store owner.
