Update on Utah Stryker Hip Litigation

Update on Utah Stryker Hip Litigation

How the Utah Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII Hip Statute of Limitations Could Affect You

Thousands of consumers were dismayed to hear of the Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip recalls in July, 2012, and you may be one of those who believed what you were told—that the implants were safe and long-lasting. After gaining FDA approval in 2008 and 2009, Stryker began aggressively marketing the Rejuvenate and ABGII to younger, more active adults. The Rejuvenate and the ABGII have a unique design which allows the surgeon to custom-fit the device to the patient’s age, size and level of activity.

 

The Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip implants also use a ceramic ball rather than a metal one, therefore Stryker claimed there would not be the problems with Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII fretting and corrosion as there are with other metal-on-metal hip implants. Unfortunately, few of Stryker’s claims turned out to be valid, and shortly after the release of the ABGII and Rejuvenate, patients and surgeons alike sent adverse event reports to the FDA. Some surgeons noted the presence of what looked like “black rust,” when they removed one of these devices from a patient.

 

One of the most important things you must consider if you have been harmed by a Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip implant is the Utah Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip statute of limitations. The state of Utah allows two years from the date the injury occurs to bring a civil cause of action. Unfortunately, determining exactly when your injury occurred can be more complex than you might think. Perhaps you suffered a serious gastrointestinal disorder after receiving a Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip implant.

 

You may have attributed this health issue to something else until the Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip recalls, when you realized your health problems could well be tied to your Stryker implant. This makes having a Utah Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip lawyer by your side essential. Your attorney can ensure your Utah Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip statute of limitations do not run, leaving you injured and unable to receive compensation for those injuries. 

 

The Current Status of the Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII Hip Lawsuits

Your injuries may be severe enough to warrant filing a Utah Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip lawsuit along with nearly 2,300 other consumers who have filed a Stryker lawsuit. The majority of these lawsuits are filed as Stryker Rejuvenate/ABGII hip multidistrict litigation in New Jersey and Minnesota. Bellwether cases are currently being chosen; a bellwether case is meant to be representative of a larger group of Stryker plaintiffs, therefore the outcome of these cases allows all those involved in the Stryker cases to get a good idea of how juries and judges will react to the evidence and information presented. There have been seventeen Stryker lawsuits settled to date, although the details of the settlements are confidential.
