Metal-on-Metal Hip Implant Attorneys in Sacramento

If you have a DePuy Pinnacle® metal-on-metal hip implant, we want to help you make the right medical and legal choices about your situation. While we are not medical doctors, we have compiled a list of questions that you should ask your doctor. He or she can provide the answers that will help you protect your health, and these answers may also affect your potential claim. Be sure to keep detailed medical records of all appointments, treatments, and other expenses associated with your hip implant and possible revision surgery, as this may be crucial to your claim for compensation.
