Medical Device Lawsuits
Back to All LawsuitsPatients who have been injured as a result of a defective medical device may be able to recover compensation for their losses by filing a lawsuit against the manufacturers.
While most medical devices offer life-saving benefits, some cause more harm than good. A defective medical device can cause lifelong complications and chronic pain. In some cases, a dangerous device may even cause fatal injuries.
Medical device manufacturers are required to sell safe products. If there is a chance of their device causing injuries, they must disclose it to the public so that medical professionals and their patients can make the most informed decisions. If they fail to warn of a particular health risk and patients are injured as a result, they may be held liable for the harm they may have caused.
A medical device lawsuit can result in compensation for an injured patient’s medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more. To see if you may qualify for a medical device lawsuit, contact MedFault for a free legal consultation.

Am I Eligible to File a Medical Device Lawsuit?
Any device that patients rely on for their medical treatment, particularly those that are implanted inside their bodies, should be rigorously tested to ensure it is as safe as possible. When medical device manufacturers fail to properly test their products, design or manufacture defective and inherently unsafe devices, and/or fail to warn the public of any known health risks associated with their devices, they may be held financially accountable for any harm they may have caused.
If you or a loved one were injured as a result of using a medical device, you may qualify to file a product liability lawsuit. A lawsuit can help pressure manufacturers to take their products off the market, issue warnings, and ensure other companies do not sell similarly unsafe products in the future. A successful lawsuit may also help compensate injured patients for the medical expenses, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering they may have endured as a result of their injuries.
