Why File a Medical Device Lawsuit?
Medical devices can help keep people safe and healthy as they deal with serious illnesses or injuries. Despite this, some medical devices can be very dangerous if they are used improperly or are defective.
Defective medical devices can:
- Worsen an existing condition
- Lead to additional health complications
- Cause permanent disability or death
In 2019, the New York Times reported that medical devices caused over 80,000 deaths and almost 2 million injuries over the last 10 years.
If a medical device causes you harm, it may not be your fault. Companies have a duty to keep their products free from defects. When they fail to do this, innocent people like you can suffer due to their mistakes. Even worse, you may have to pay the costly medical expenses for the harm that they caused.
There is one way to hold these companies accountable: by taking legal action. Filing a lawsuit may allow you to receive financial compensation from the device manufacturers that can help cover the cost of medical treatment.
