Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

On Tuesday I will have "another" total knee replacement. The manufaturer of this knee has a recall. I called them and they said the parts that I have are "defective" they located that information off of the serial numbers . What kind of lawsuit should I bring against them ? Do I need an Attorney to file this suit ? What amount of money should I ask for ? Thank you Diane

You may want to contact an attorney. Many work on a contingency fees basis as I do.

You may be entitled to "Pain and suffering" because you have to go through the pain and difficulty of another surgery.

YOU can bring any claims you want, and ask for anything you want. Winning is an entirely different issue. Without experienced counsel who knows what to do and why, you are unlikely to succeed in any claim. Medical malpractice and product liability claims are technical, hard fought, and difficult to win. Consult with experienced counsel to discuss your situation to determine how your case should be handled and evaluated. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.
