DePuy Hip Claims Guide
How to file a hip implant failure claim.
Confirm DePuy Implant
Obtain surgical records showing you received a DePuy ASR, ASR XL, Pinnacle, or other metal-on-metal hip implant. Product identification is essential.
Document Complications
Gather medical records showing implant failure, metallosis, pseudotumors, bone damage, or chronic pain. Blood metal tests showing elevated cobalt/chromium are important.
Record All Surgeries
Document revision surgery records including hospital stays, new implant details, and rehabilitation. Multiple revisions significantly increase claim value.
Calculate Total Damages
Document all medical expenses, lost wages, ongoing treatment, and quality of life impact. Include physical therapy, mobility aids, and future medical needs.
