Lawsuit Settlement News Website Reports DePuy ASR $2.5 Billion Hip Litigation Settlement, However Many Cases Remain Ongoing

LOS ANGELES, July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MT Services LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement News Reporting company, which operates a lawsuit help center: lawsuitsettlementnews.com, reports today Johnson & Johnson's $2.5 billion lawsuit settlement was for an estimated 8,000 patients facing injuries from the metal-on-metal implant that needed surgical replacement, also called revision surgery. Although 8,000 cases were involved in this first settlement, many DePuy ASR™ XL Acetabular Hip System or ASR™ Hip Resurfacing System cases remain open that have not had revision or revisions after August 2013. In addition, several other manufactures still have remaining cases open including Biomet, Stryker, and Wright Hips.

Chris Janish, CEO of MTS commented on the various hip litigations, "Metal-on-metal hips have been an ongoing problem for many years, causing Metallosis and eventual painful revision or corrective surgeries. The DePuy ASR settlement is an indication of the severity of these products, with an average settlement value of $250K per case. However, there are still many other remaining hip manufactures with metal components that continue to cause patients ongoing problems. We urge patients to seek immediate legal consultation if they are having problems with any of the hips listed on our site prior to the statute of the limitations to file a claim expires."
