Class Action Lawsuits Benefit Consumers

Posted in by admin on January 26th, 2012

Consumers who have been harmed by DePuy Orthopaedics’ recalled products – the ASR XL Acetabular Hip System and DePuy ASR„¢ Hip Resurfacing System – may opt to pursue a lawsuit. While it is thought that thousands of individual lawsuits have already been filed with DePuy and its parent company, Johnson & Johnson, some consumers have chosen to join class action lawsuits. The benefits of a class action lawsuit are numerous. Basically, harmed consumers join together, strengthening their complaints with the company and their bargaining power. Another benefit is that no individual need personally foot the bill for the preparation of the case – these costs are shared amongst the group. Regardless of what type of DePuy hip recall lawsuit you choose to pursue, if you’ve been harmed by this product, you deserve compensation.
