Does Bringing a Lawsuit against DePuy involve suing my Doctor?
In most cases, product liability lawsuits for defective hip implants do not involve suing doctors. You should get legal advice and make this decision with a lawyer’s help. Manufacturers of bad hip implants in the past have sometimes suggested that it was the surgeons fault to deflect blame from themselves but this is usually for publicity and most of the time the doctors are not parties to the case. The doctors are the customers of DePuy and DePuy has a close relationship with most of the doctors who implant their products so it is very unlikely that DePuy would want to doctor in the case.
