Medical Devices
Medical devices like pacemakers, IVC filters, insulin pumps, and surgical implants are intended to improve the well-being of patients. And generally, they do their job well. But sometimes these devices fail or were faulty to begin with, and when that happens, it can create significant injuries in the patient. Infections, internal damage, and the need for corrective surgeries or even death are all possible with malfunctioning or defective medical equipment. If you or your family have experienced a faulty device and are seeking answers, it’s important to reach out to a qualified attorney who can help with your situation.

They may already be suffering from their injuries, dealing with excessive medical bills, and wondering how they’ll make it through this challenging time. We’re here to help answer all of your questions and go over your options with you, so you know exactly where to go from here.
We’ll examine the details of your case and determine if it is likely to be successful. If so, responsibility may lie with the manufacturer of the device or even the healthcare provider who gave you the device if proper procedures were not followed—or if they were aware of an issue with the device but used the device anyway. We’ll take a look at the specific device that caused the injury and, if necessary, contact experts who can help determine if negligence played a role in the design or distribution of the product.
Timeliness is key when it comes to product liability claims. The sooner you speak to an attorney, the better. Preserving medical records, documentation about the device, and communications you’ve had with medical professionals or the manufacturer is of utmost importance when it comes to these cases. If you’ve been injured by a healthcare product, don’t wait to reach out. We can help you get started on your claim and hold the responsible party accountable.
