Tens of thousands of lawsuits over defective hip implants have been settled over the last two years for billions of dollars. But hip implant litigation is far from over. Poorly designed hips are still failing and new lawsuits are being filed every day. There are thousands of people still suffering who have not had their hip implants replaced.
Usually, lawyers do not file lawsuits until a defective hip implant has been surgically removed. Until the hip is surgically removed and the surgeon and pathologist view the hip and the tissue in the hip compartment it is difficult to know or to prove why the hip was painful and not functioning properly.
