- Stryker Corp to Pay More Than $1.4B To Settle Claims
Stryker Corporation, the makers of Rejuvenate and ABG II brand artificial hip implants, have agreed to resolve over 4,000 claims against the company for more than a billion dollars.
The hip implants were recalled in 2012 after Stryker sent recall notices to physicians and hospitals around the country. The notices advised doctors that the implants could corrode or wear away, leading to pain, swelling, or blood poisoning. The implants often had to be removed and replaced with non-defective parts.
The Stryker lawsuits were consolidated in New Jersey and Minnesota courts. Rather than go to trial, the company agreed to set aside a fund to settle all of the claims which arose before November 3, 2014.
Patients who had the Stryker implants surgically removed and underwent revision surgery before the cutoff date will receive at least $300,000 in compensation. If the patients required multiple surgeries to fix the implants, or had additional medical complications, they may be entitled to more compensation. Patients who had implants placed in both hips are eligible for double the settlement amount.
Across the U.S., approximately 20,000 people were given either the Rejuvenate or ABG II hip implants. Patients who need revision surgery after the November 3, 2014 cut-off date are not eligible for this settlement, but will still be able to pursue lawsuits against Stryker Corp. individually.
To learn more about the settlement, visit www.strykermodularhipsettlement.com. Attorneys for the Stryker Corp. estimate that the settlement funds will be disbursed to the claimants by the end of 2015.
If you or your loved one had a hip replacement which failed, needed to be replaced, or caused medical complications like blood poisoning, you may be eligible for compensation.

I was recently served court documents that I was being sued from an accident that happened years ago. For someone who has never been through something like this and not familiar with the court lingo or where to even begin, it was very frustrating and stressful. I reached out to a family member who knew Tracy Laskos and the great reputation of Phillips Law Group and within the hours of the initial call for help, I had a direct number to Lead Attorney Nassar. Nassar heard my case and almost instantly put me at ease by explaining the process and how easy it was to handle. Nassar spoke to me like he was a friend, not like I was a client. I am so grateful to Tracy, Nasar and of course my cousin Stephanie for helping out and giving me the direction that I needed to get through this situation. I plan on referring my friends, family and patients that are in need of a personal injury Attorney to Phillips Law Group. Thank you!!

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!
