Medical devices are intended to save lives and support overall health. Many rely on these devices every day to keep their hearts beating, their lungs breathing, and their bodies functioning well. Most medical devices are well made and the science behind them sound.

Proving Negligence and Liability in Defective Medical Device Cases
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 2 million different types of medical devices are available throughout the world. With so many products on the market, the potential for defects is high.
When you turn to us for help with your defective medical device claim, our lawyers will gather evidence to prove the four elements of negligence, which include:
- Duty of care: The product manufacturer had a responsibility to protect you from harm by creating a safe product.
- Breach of duty: The responsible party failed to uphold its duty of care by distributing a flawed device.
- Causation: The defective medical product caused you harm.
- Damages: You suffered financial and/or non-financial losses because of the defective medical device.
Product defects can arise during various stages of the supply chain. For example, a design defect may occur if the product is inherently dangerous, or a manufacturing defect might result if an error occurs during production.
In most cases, defective product cases involve strict liability. Even if the manufacturer did not intend to cause harm, it could still be liable for your damages. Your defective medical devices attorney will determine what type of flaw the product that harmed you contained and gather proof of the responsible party’s negligence, so you can secure fair compensation for your losses.
Our Lawyers Will Determine if You Qualify for a Mass Tort or Class Action Lawsuit
When a defective medical device causes harm, there are rarely only one or two victims. Potentially hundreds or even thousands of injured parties could have a product liability claim similar to yours.
If you are among the many victims harmed by the same defective medical device, our mass torts lawyers may file multiple civil lawsuits against the responsible party. In other cases, we can file a class action lawsuit, in which one victim represents all people harmed by one medical device in a single legal claim.
In both situations, a court decision may benefit all involved plaintiffs, who will split any settlement or judgment the judge or jury awards. If your case qualifies for a mass tort or class action suit we are currently litigating, we will advise you of your legal options and explain how these types of cases work.
