Additional Information
What should I do if I got an Exactech knee replacement?
If you are not experiencing pain or adverse symptoms in the joint, revision surgery to remove the implant is not recommended.
If you are experiencing pain or complications with your Exactech knee replacement and revision surgery may be required, reach out to our experienced team today. A substantial settlement may be available to you.
How much compensation am I eligible for?
Every case is unique, however, because these defects may result in corrective surgery, we expect settlement amounts to be very favorable for patients who are dealing with adverse symptoms.
Should I file a Claim with Exactech?
Exactech is currently allowing patients with defective Exactech implants to submit a claim for any out-of-pocket costs associated with their surgeries or correcting them. However, patients who decide to pursue this opportunity may waive their right to file a product liability lawsuit against Exactech in the future. That is why it is important to first consult with an Exactech Lawsuit Lawyer to ensure you are getting the settlement you deserve.
