The Different Kinds Of Compensatory Damages Victims Of The Depuy Hip Replacement Recall May Recover
DePuy Orthopaedics has offered to pay for the "reasonable and customary" costs of the recall of two of its hip replacement systems: the ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System. Sounds responsible right? We didn't think so either. Actually, DePuy has been quite cagey about what it will actually pay for, and how it will pay for it. For instance, it will pay for a revision procedure, but it won't tell you that it'll reimburse your insurer or Medicarenot you directly. The difference between the fees and administrative costs are to be borne by you. So, what can a hip replacement lawsuit get you that DePuy is unwilling to pay? Here are some of the things a lawsuit will compensate you for:
Hospital bills, physical therapy, supplemental doctors' visits are all included here. What's more, you can be compensated for hiring a caregiver.
It costs money to travel to and from your doctor's office, and you can try to make DePuy pay for it.
"Reasonable and customary" doesn't include income you should have earned because DePuy negligently manufactured its hip implants
Especially if you undergo a revision procedure, you can claim these damages.
Something DePuy definitely doesn't want to pay you; you can claim compensation for damaged relationships, psychological effects, loss of life satisfaction and independence, loss of mobility, and chronic pain the DePuy implant caused you.
