Answers to common questions about defective medical device claims.
How do I know if a medical device caused my injury?
An experienced attorney will review your medical records, the device's FDA history (including 510(k) submissions and adverse event reports), and consult with biomedical engineering experts to establish causation.
Can I sue if the device was FDA-approved?
Yes. FDA clearance or approval does not provide immunity. Many successful device claims involve FDA-cleared devices where the manufacturer failed to adequately test or warn of risks.
What compensation can I recover?
Medical expenses (including revision surgery), lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. The value depends on the severity of injury and the manufacturer's conduct.
The manufacturer has a team of lawyers. You deserve one too.
