Elderly Woman Injured by Faulty Hip Replacement Medical Device; Settled for $75,000
A 78-year-old woman was forced to undergo a second surgery on her leg after a device implanted to fix a previous fracture failed prematurely. The woman, who originally fractured her femur after falling in her daughter's home, underwent surgery shortly after the injury occurred, with her surgeon utilizing a locking intermedullary nail to stabilize the fracture. Two months later, the plaintiff felt a "pop" in her hip, followed by immediate pain; X-rays indicated failed hardware, and the defective device was subsequently removed and replaced in a second surgery. Kevin Liebeck of Hodes Milman represented the plaintiff in the product liability case against the manufacturer of the device. The case was settled at mediation for $75,000.

Dan Hodes treated me like a human being, not just another client. He showed me he cared by how hard he worked on my case.
My daughter was born with a disability due to doctor neglect. I emailed over 200 lawyers over a 2 year time span. I had ONE lawyer believe in my case and he worked with Jeff Milman over the next year helping build my case. Jeff won my case and I cannot thank him enough for believing in me!! He was so pleasant to work with and professional. I will forever be thankful to him and his team!
They are friendly and honest and fought for what they believed was best in our interest.
