Beasley, Allen, Crow, Methvin, Portis & Miles, P.C.

Attorneys with Beasley Allen Law Firm and attorneys with partnering firms have filed three separate lawsuits alleging that pain pump devices implanted in the shoulder during and after surgery to repair shoulder injuries were unreasonably and dangerously defective beyond the extent contemplated by ordinary patients.

Plaintiff Martin R. Jaramillo, a citizen of Monterey County, California, has filed his complaint against DJO, LLC; DJO Inc.; FKA DJ Orthopedics Inc.; McKinley Medical, LLC, Moog, Inc., and Curlin Medical, Inc. He is represented by Frank Woodson of Beasley Allen Law Firm; Laura B. Kalur of Kalur Law Office; Michael L. Williams, Leslie O’Leary and Thomas B. Powers of Williams, Love, O’Leary & Powers; and C. Brooks Cutter with Kershaw, Cutter & Ratinoff.

Plaintiff Marilyn D. Reynolds of Idaho, has filed her complaint against the same businesses as Jaramillo. She is represented by Ted Meadows with Beasley Allen Law Firm and Yvonne M. Flaherty of Lockridge, Grindal, Nauen.

Plaintiff Gina K. Bass of Arkansas, has filed her complaint against DJO, LLC; DJO, Inc., and I-Flow Corporation. She is also represented by Ted Meadows with Beasley Allen Law Firm and Yvonne M. Flaherty of Lockridge, Grindal, Nauen.

All three complaints allege that the manufacturers of the pain pump devices caused the plaintiffs to suffer from the complete or nearly complete loss of cartilage in the shoulder joint, an injury that is irreversible, disabling and extremely painful. The lawsuits assert claims for negligence, strict product liability for design defect and strict product liability for failure to warn against defendants. The lawsuits seek compensatory and other damages.
