An Illinois woman has filed a Zimmer knee lawsuit after experiencing serious and painful complications associated with her knee replacement system, the Zimmer NexGen High-Flex Knee System. Lois Zaremba filed her lawsuit on January 19, 2012, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
Zaremba claims that she had the Zimmer NexGen High-Flex Knee Replacement System implanted on the 26th of December, 2007. According to the Zimmer knee lawsuit filed by Zaremba's Zimmer knee lawyer, Zaremba experienced serious Zimmer knee problems that have caused her considerable and ongoing pain.
Damages Sought in Zimmer Knee Lawsuit
Zaremba, like many others who have filed Zimmer knee lawsuits, is seeking damages that could help cover a number of significant costs associated with Zimmer knee side effects, including past and future medical and rehabilitation expenses, past and future home care expenses, lost income, disability that is likely to be permanent, permanent instability and loss of balance, as well as pain and suffering. These damages are considered compensatory and special damages. Zaremba and her Zimmer knee lawyer have requested that the Zimmer knee lawsuit be seen in front of a jury.
Zimmer Knee Problems Widespread
Despite the relatively widespread nature of Zimmer knee problems, and litigation mounting against the Zimmer orthopedics company daily from patients who are choosing to file Zimmer knee lawsuits, no recall has been initiated either by the United States' Food and Drug Administration nor by Zimmer itself.
Zaremba, like many plaintiffs who have filed Zimmer knee lawsuits, allegedly experienced significant complications associated with her Zimmer knee replacement device, including loosening of the implant. These problems were painful and limited her mobility, and in addition, she needed to have Zimmer knee revision surgery, which took place on the 13th of June, 2011.
Revision surgery is a second procedure that removes and replaces the faulty or failed implant device. While it can fix some of the problems associated with the implant, a patient may continue to experience complications for the rest of his or her life.
