Successful litigation for bad TKR surgeon and/or faulty device?

I'm not sure this is true in all cases. Surgeon 1 has no connection to surgeon 2. Completely different practice/city, etc. Also I've been reading about awards online to people whose Dupuy knees failed. I have the op notes from both surgeons. Anyone else have experience with litigation?

@babette a friend who went through a somewhat similar situation as you did was told it’s practically impossible to sue. Of course not all lawyers may not feel the same. The thing is, you have to prove negligence. Her problem was that the wrong size rod was used.

It certainly would not hurt to speak to a lawyer. You really went through a lot of misery before finding a doctor who diagnosed the problem and fixed it.
