Joint Replacements:
What You Need to Know
Hip and knee replacements are common procedures for clients who have suffered severe joint damage due to injury. For attorneys representing these clients, understanding the expectations and implications of these surgeries is crucial. Hip and knee replacements typically have a lifespan of 15-20 years, meaning that younger clients may require additional surgeries in their lifetime.
Attorneys must consider these future medical needs when calculating long-term damages and negotiating settlements. Knowledge of the recovery process, potential complications, and the associated costs of replacement surgeries ensures that attorneys can advocate effectively for comprehensive compensation, addressing both immediate and future healthcare needs for their injured clients.
