Medical Device Negligence

If you have been injured by a medical device, you'll need an attorney with the skill and resources to battle the powerful companies and bureaucratic insurance adjustors. Choosing a law firm with solid personal injury experience and committed resources is critical to helping you receive the maximum compensation available. Financial compensation can mean the difference between a life of pain and economic hardship and a future where monetary concerns are secondary to improving the quality of your life.

Manufacturers and their agents are obligated to provide consumers with products that are safe when used in a reasonable manner and to responsibly market their product. Medical device manufacturers can be held responsible for negligence that includes:

• Device defects that are mechanical, electrical or software-related or related to a product's design, development, or material flaws;
• User difficulties due to inadequate/misleading labeling, confusing instructions, inadequate packaging, design problems or inadequate training;
• Clinical problems that occur when a patient is sensitive or allergic to the device, or have a preexisting condition that increases inherent risk, and improper implantation of a device.

Proving negligence relating to a medical device is complex and requires a substantial investment of time and resources. The manufacturers have experienced attorneys whose goal is to defeat product liability claims and insurance companies depend on a limitless supply of financial resources and claims adjustors to defend their profits. Shouldn't you have a personal injury lawyer with the credentials and resources to protect your interests in these high stakes claims?

If you feel that your injury or the death of loved one is due to a faulty medical device or prescription drug, you may be entitled to file a personal injury, product liability or wrongful death claim. There are mandatory time limits in which lawsuits must be filed or you may forever lose your right to make a claim.
