Another 7,000 women with unauthorised PIP breast implants
 |
| Article by Kevin Timms |
Kevin Timms of Garden House Solicitors who has been appointed to the steering committee along with four other solicitors which shall be taking the PIP litigation forward was asked to comment on the breaking news live on Sky News today as the story aired.
He commented that there will be a Group Litigation Order which will decide the outcome of all PIP claims being made. This is being pursued by the PIP steering committee.
For those women who have concerns about their health or have only just become aware that they have received PIP breast implants, they should seek medical advice from their GP or implanting surgeon.
Furthermore, the MHRA have just announced today that there is no guarantee that PIP breast implants sold prior to 2001 did not contain unauthorised silicone gel. The MHRA have therefore recommended that all women with PIP breast implants be supported in accordance with the Department of Health’s recommendations of January 2012.

Credit Card Provider Pays Up for PIP Breast Implants
 |
| Article by Kevin Timms |
It was announced today that a credit card provider, Lloyds TSB, has reimbursed a PIP patient £3,700 for her PIP breast implants.
The President of BAAPS has described this as a "ray of hope" for other PIP patients.
Many women who have PIP breast implants seek a similar remedy. However, for those who have suffered a rupture of their PIP breast implants or other adverse symptoms, this remedy would be insufficient. Where an injury is identifiable in a particular patient, that patient is entitled to all of her financial losses in addition to personal injury compensation.
Where PIP breast implants were paid for by credit card it may be possible to bring a like claim against the credit provider as the clinic itself.
If you have concerns about your PIP breast implants please contact Kevin Timms or Julie Retallick on 01992 422 128 or email the team at info@gardenhousesolicitors.co.uk.

Metal on Metal Hip Implant Update
 |
| Article by Kevin Timms |
The MHRA issued further advice on metal on metal hip implants, such as the DePuy ASR and Finsbury ADEPT hip implants, on 28 February 2012. The advice is that patients with a metal on metal hip implant should be monitored every year for the life of their hip implant.
The Clinical Director of the MHRA has confirmed that “patients have a small risk of suffering from complications from having metal on metal hip implants”. She further said that the MHRA has “updated patient management and monitoring advice to surgeons and doctors that they should annually monitor patients for the lifetime of their metal on metal total hip replacements”.
Many patients with metal on metal hip implants develop progressive soft tissue reactions to the metal wear debris associated with the metal on metal hip implant. This can lead to difficult revision surgery for the metal prosthesis. Experts have suggested that the early revision of poorly performing metal on metal hip implants should provide a better revision outcome.
If you have been provided with a metal on metal hip implant such as a DePuy ASR, Finsbury ADEPT, Corin Cormet or Zimmer Durom and have been experiencing problems contact Kevin Timms to discuss your prospects of bringing a metal on metal hip implant compensation claim.
We are also investigating claims where the hip implant used was not a metal on metal hip implant.
Kevin can be contacted on 01992 422 128 or by email at Kevin@gardenhousesolicitors.co.uk.
