Texas Jury Returns $498 Million Verdict Against Pinnacle Metal Hip Replacements

On March 17, 2016, a Texas federal jury returned a $498 million Pinnacle metal hip verdict against device makers Johnson & Johnson and DePuy Orthopaedics in favor of five separate plaintiffs who claimed their metal-on-metal Pinnacle hip implants were defective and caused them significant injury. The jury reached the verdict after hearing 37 days of testimony and deliberating for 4.5 days. Other patients may be eligible to seek compensation with the help of a metal hip replacement attorney.

““Maria is such an impressive professional and wonderful individual. She exceeded every single expectation inside and outside the courtroom. During my trial she was faced with a biased and disgruntled jury who had already decided against my case before it even started; but this never hindered Maria. She never gave up on me, even when the jury denied me any compensation. She pushed back and won a new trial, forcing the insurance company to finally offer me a favorable settlement. Her drive to do the best, her passion and dedication for her clients, her overall impressiveness is what sets her apart from everyone else. I appreciate Maria, and I am more grateful than she will ever know. She is one of a kind.” B. Morrison
