File a Hip Replacement Lawsuit or Accept DePuy ’s Compensation Offer?

File a Hip Replacement Lawsuit or Accept DePuy’s Compensation Offer?: "Along with the hip replacement recall, DePuy is offering to settle claims against it by people it harmed. But just what does DePuy consider your injuries worth? Answer: Not as much as you can obtain by consulting a hip replacement lawyer. In October 2010, Johnson & Johnson, DePuy’s parent company, began working with Broadspire, a subsidiary of Crawford and Company, the global insurance provider. Broadspire serves Crawford as an insurance and claims adjusting firm, and with DePuy it is trying to convince recipients of the ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System to release their medical records to the companies. DePuy’s goal is to use your medical records against you in a hip replacement lawsuit should you choose to file one.
