Defective medical device

Patients rely on medical devices to heal, not to cause harm. When a defective device injures someone, we help them pursue compensation.

## Help after a device injury

Medical devices range from prosthetic joints to pacemakers, and patients depend on them to recover and live healthier lives. When a device is defective, the results can be serious. In some cases manufacturers learn of a problem but do not disclose it until many people have been harmed.

The same product liability principles that protect consumers of other products also protect patients injured by a defective device. If a defect caused your injury, you may have a claim against the manufacturer.

## Acting promptly

These cases benefit from prompt action so that evidence, including the device itself and your medical records, can be preserved. We help you understand your options and pursue your claim.

Common questions

## Defective medical device FAQs

### Do I have a claim if a medical device injured me?

Possibly. If you can show that a defect in the device caused your injury, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer. Having your situation reviewed is the best way to know.

### What should I do with the device or records?

Try to preserve the device, packaging, and your medical records, and avoid discarding anything related to the injury. This evidence can be important to your claim.

### How long do I have to file?

Product liability claims have deadlines that depend on the facts, including when the injury was discovered. Because timing matters, contact us early. [CONFIRM: confirm the deadline that applies to your claim]
