Structured Settlement Talk: DePuy ASR Hip Recall Litigation

And Why This Matters to Me

Less than a year ago, I underwent bilateral total hip replacement surgery. It was one trip to the doctor’s I would have sooner avoided. But I had no choice and the surgery, fortunately, appears to have been successful.

Then, just a few months out of the operating room, I learned of a worldwide recall of certain hip implant devices that were defective. The DePuy ASR Hip Recall dispute now extends to all corners of the globe.

Even though my new replacement parts are not among the ones being recalled at this time, I feel a special connection to this particular class of patients who are suffering. For their benefit and the benefit of those who care about them and are advocating on their behalf, I have established the following website dedicated to them:

ASRHipSettlement.com

Throughout my insurance career that now spans more than a quarter century, I have had the privilege of helping thousands of people secure their financial futures with structured settlements.

I’ve helped grieving widows support their fractured families and put their children through college.

I’ve helped falsely convicted former prisoners establish their own path to financial independence following their exoneration into a world they were not fully prepared for.

I’ve helped paraplegics, quadriplegics, burn and brain injury patients, sex abuse victims and many other classes of plaintiffs and their conservators make sound financial choices when it came time for them to make decisions regarding their injury settlement recovery.

But until recently, despite my best efforts to empathize with them, I could never fully appreciate everything my clients had gone through. Could never fully appreciate the price they paid for their injury settlement because I had never gone through the same thing they had.

That is, until now.

I hope you’ll take a few moments to visit my new site and watch the short video I’ve created for current and prospective clients. If you know anyone who has been impacted by this unfortunate set of circumstances, please let me know how I can help them. I’m committed to helping.
