Medical devices are used to ease pain, help with disabilities and save lives. However, when these devices are flawed they may cause serious injury and death. Millions of people use a variety of medical devices under the belief that they are safeguarded from a serious health risk. Defective medical devices leave patients at serious risk of incurring a debilitating injury or even death if the issue goes undetected.
Manufacturers do not design a device intending that it injure the patients. What typically happens is the device is not adequately tested and once a large number of patients begin using the device, problems are discovered. Some manufacturers, instead of recalling the device and compensating people for the damages suffered, cover up the problem, and pay claims only after the injured person hires a lawyer and sues the manufacturer. Once that happens, you need an experienced medical device attorney to evaluate and handle your claim.
While it is important to ask your doctor about any medical device you are using, it is also important to monitor how you are feeling. If something has changed or you have any concerns about your medical care, bring those concerns and questions to your doctor. However, if you believe you have been injured by a faulty medical device it is important to seek legal assistance. Tell the defective medical device manufacturers and insurance companies that you mean business.
