A number of DePuy Pinnacle lawsuits have already been filed throughout the country on behalf of patients who suffered the damages caused by their metal-on-metal hip implants. These are some complaints cited by patients who filed these DePuy Pinnacle lawsuits:
-Revision surgery
-Hip implant loosening
-Difficulty walking
-Permanent damage
-Hip pain
Furthermore, these lawsuits also declare that the hip implant was poorly designed and that the manufacturers failed to inform the patients of the potential problems of the said device. DePuy Pinnacle problems may result in physical pain and costly medical bills for the implant recipient. Nonetheless, patients may be able to file a lawsuit to recover compensation for these damages, even though a DePuy Pinnacle recall has not been issued.
