Patients who have gotten a knee replacement device manufactured by Exactech and who are interested in knowing more about their legal rights should also take the time to learn more about the history of the knee replacement devices manufactured by Exactech that were found to be defective. The following is a list of the five most crucial facts regarding the process of initiating a lawsuit against Exactechfor a knee replacement:
1. IF YOU HAVE SUFFERED FROM A FAILURE OF AN EXACTECH KNEE IMPLANT, YOU COULD HAVE REASONS TO FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY.
Several individuals who received knee replacements manufactured by Exactech have already taken the company to court over allegations that its products are substandard. Similarly, if your Exactech knee replacement device fails, you might be entitled to file a lawsuit.
2. IF YOU FILE A LAWSUIT, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION FOR YOUR PAIN AND SUFFERING, MEDICAL EXPENSES, AND OTHER LOSSES. IN ADDITION, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER COMPENSATION FOR OTHER LOSSES.
In the event that you are entitled to file a lawsuit against Exactech, you can seek full compensation for any damages sustained in connection with the defective implant. This includes losses that you have already suffered as well as losses that you will suffer in the future. This includes the pain and suffering you are experiencing right now as well as in the future, the costs of your medical treatment, the income you have lost, and any other financial or non-financial losses.
3. EXACTECH’S LETTER TO PATIENTS AND DOCTORS IS STRONG EVIDENCE OF LIABILITY
Strong proof that Exactech is liable can be found in the form of a letter that the company sent to patients and doctors warning them of the hazards associated with the knee replacement devices that it manufactures. Even though you were not a direct recipient of this letter, our attorneys can utilize it as supporting evidence for your claim for monetary compensation.
DO YOU THINK MY DOCS WOULD KNOW WHAT EXACTECH’S KNEE REPLACEMENT DEVICES CONTAIN PROBLEMS?
Upon receiving a recall notice from Exactech in February 2022, doctors were urged to discontinue using the company’s Optetrak, Optetrak Logic, and Truliant replacement knee devices. It is not clear whether clinicians should have known about problems with Exactech’s devices before now.
