Richard Schlueter Gives Insight Into DePuy ASR Hip Implant Recall Via CBS Atlanta NEWS

By M. Brandon Smith

Richard Schlueter, a partner at Childers, Schlueter & Smith, was quoted last week in an article and televised news piece by Stephany Fisher from CBS Atlanta News. The story drew national attention to an important medical liability issue that is a major part of what the attorneys at the CSS Firm are currently working on: representing hip replacement patients who received a defective DePuy ASR Hip System. Schlueter, along with several other CSS Firm attorneys, are currently representing around more than 30 recipients of the defective medical ASR implant in Georgia alone and dozens more individuals from across the nation.

Ever since DePuy recalled its ASR Hip System in August of 2010, the attorneys at CSS Firm have been keeping abreast of the multiple and complex legal issues that have emerged. Patients across the nation received the now-recalled DePuy ASR Hip Implants hoping to enhance their quality of life and regain the ability to live an active, healthy lifestyle. Instead, those who received DePuy's defective product are confronting pain, swelling, tissue damage, the risk of developing cobaltism, and possible revision surgeries.

The CSS Firm recognizes that these patients have medical questions and need legal assistance in understanding their rights to ensure that they are adequately compensated for their pain and suffering. If you or someone you love has fallen victim to the failed DePuy ASR hip implant, contact CSS Firm for a free case evaluation and consultation for your defective hip implant.
