DePuy will shortly be facing a multi-district litigation suit in response to angry and dissatisfied consumers over their defective hip replacements. The metal-on-metal hip implants have caused a lot of damages to the victims, without warranties. Now that the status of DePuy’s case is somewhat transparent to the public, more and more victims are appealing to the authorities. From the looks of it, they seem motivated enough to press charges against the Johnson & Johnson company. After all, the damage has been done--and an awful lot of them, too.Because majority of the complainants are from the United States, you cannot help but ask, “How about those living from other countries?” Non-US complainants are free to file lawsuits in their own country, but foreign laws in several countries differ among themselves. Some have filed their complaints in the US, and a few others in their own mother land. Lawsuits against DePuy are ongoing at both pathways.
Filing a lawsuit in your country is convenient, and less costly as well. While the multi-district litigation against DePuy is being scheduled, the company has avidly requested the US Judicial Panel to reconsider the venue of the hearing. They wish to transfer the place to Indiana, where their headquarters are located. This is where the obvious setback comes in. If Non-Americans choose to press charges in their home country, DePuy may request for adjustments so that the litigation is convenient for them as well. Plaintiffs from other countries will be affected by the hassle.
Hence, it is advisable that lawsuits against DePuy be filed in the US. Don’t know where to start? Do your laws vary greatly from that of the US? Allow a lawyer, who is experienced in personal injury cases, guide and assist you. Specifically, a DePuy hip recall attorney will help you out in winning your case.
