Our injury lawyers have the right combination of personal injury legal knowledge and experience with cases involving complicated medical problems to help in a situation like this.

Medical Device Failures Can Come from Many Sources

The medical device industry is enormous, approaching $500 billion in the United States and growing, according to multiple economic analysts.

Thousands of medical devices are on the market. You’ve probably heard of some of the biggest companies that make medical devices—Abbott Laboratories, Boston Scientific, General Electric, Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic among them.

These are some of the most common types of medical devices. They can all improve lives, but also cause complications:

• Coronary stents
• Hip replacements
• Insulin pumps
• Intra-uterine devices (IUDs)
• Knee replacements
• Pacemakers
• Plates, rods, pins and screws for bone fractures
• Spinal cord stimulators for pain
• Spinal fusion hardware

If you or a family member are victim of a medical device failure, you don’t have to accept it as horrible luck.
Someone is liable for what happened to you—maybe a device manufacturer, doctor or hospital.

As in many injury claims, negligence could be a factor in what happened to you.

If that’s the case, avenues may be available to help you move past this.

You deserve financial recovery for the costs a medical device malfunction has forced you to bear.

Types of Compensation You Can Get with Help from a Defective Medical Device Lawyer

With a claim for an injury from a faulty medical device, you could pursue payment for these items and more:

• Your medical expenses related to the device failure
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering (physically and emotionally)
• Permanent disfigurement
• Wrongful death of a loved one

These forms of compensation can help you reclaim a life interrupted by a malfunctioning medical device.

A lawyer with experience in defective medical device cases can build your claim, negotiate with insurance companies, or file a lawsuit if necessary.

Problems with medical devices can start with inadequate warnings about the risks of using the device, flaws in the device’s design, or breakdowns in the manufacturing process.

The Bowling Law Firm can investigate what happened to you and help you pursue damages. We’ve secured millions of dollars for our clients in injury cases.

When you call our office, you can talk directly with an attorney. We don’t assign non-attorney staff members to screen calls.

You expected a medical device to help you. Then it hurt you. Now, it’s time to get what’s fair.
