DePuy Hip Implant Recall
Despite considerable criticism and two years of complaints that the ASR Artificial Hip was failing, DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. waited until August of 2010 to announce a recall. Known as the ASR XL Acetabular and ASR Hip Resurfacing System, these ASR hips have been implanted in over 93,000 patients.
Due to the premature failure of DePuy Hips, up to 12.5% (approximately one in eight) of patients may be forced to endure the pain and associated expenses of subsequent corrective surgery.

There is nothing routine about the simple automobile accident. Each case has to be developed and handled individually. Police reports, photographs of the property damage to the automobile and of the bodily injuries must be obtained. Our investigation staff must examine the accident scene and obtain witness statements.
It is important to understand your rights when injured in an automobile accident. New York State has complicated laws regarding who may file a lawsuit when injured in a motor vehicle accident. Therefore, if you are involved in an automobile accident, you should contact our office as soon as possible.
The Right Law Firm For You
When we sat down to think about what best represents our law firm we couldn't think of anyone better than Kevin, an accomplished triathlete who was unfortunately injured during training. Suffering serious injury from a defective bicycle which rendered him a quadriplegic, despite the tragic reality, part of Kevin's recovery and new challenge was supporting himself and his family. The Sanders Law Firm fought relentless to recover the essential financial help he needed and deserved. Kevin's life will never be the same, but it will be without question a lot easier because he choose the right law firm to fight for him.
On March 22, 2012, The Sanders Firm and Ed. Nitkewicz, a leading education law advocate, hosted a free seminar discussing how to effectively work with your school district to obtain special education services for your child.
