Currently Evaluating Cases Involving Bair Hugger Forced-Air Warming Blanket

|

The Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, announces that it is currently evaluating cases involving infections due to the use of the Bair Hugger forced-air warming blanket.

We are considering cases where individuals who had hip or knee replacement surgery during the last five years and developed periprosthetic joint infection. This is an infection caused by bacteria entering the bloodstream. This infection can cause serious effects, including additional hospitalization or additional surgeries.

Please contact our office for a free consultation if the following apply to you or a loved one:

  • Hip or knee replacement surgery within the last five years;
  • Subsequent diagnosis of Periprosthetic Joint Infection (“PJI”);
  • Resulting in complications including hospitalization, surgery, loss of limb, delayed recovery, or pain and suffering.

If those apply we can assist in determining if you have a possible legal claim by ordering and reviewing your medical records to determine if the Bair Hugger forced air warming blanked was used. There is no charge for our initial review of your case.
