Identify Your Implant
Obtain surgical records identifying the exact manufacturer, model, and lot number of your shoulder implant. This is essential to determine if your device was recalled.
Document Device Failure
Gather medical records showing implant failure, loosening, or complications. Include imaging (X-rays, CT, MRI) and diagnosis of issues like bone loss or component wear.
Record Revision Surgery
If you required revision surgery, document the procedure, hospital records, and pathology reports. Multiple revisions significantly increase claim value.
Calculate Total Damages
Document all medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs. Include physical therapy, medications, and ongoing monitoring.
Consult a Device Injury Attorney
Contact an attorney experienced in medical device litigation. Shoulder implant cases are complex. Many offer free consultations and work on contingency.
