Dangerous Medical Devices Lawyer

Advocating for Victims of Dangerous Medical Devices

As we begin to depend more on modern medicine the number of people turning to surgical procedures to cure ailments, enhance their bodies, and resolve injuries has increased exponentially. When you undergo a medical procedure or surgery, you expect a certain level of care and dedication.

Unfortunately, even after the increasing cost of insurance, the many legislations that the pharmaceutical companies lobby, and the relationship these companies have developed with the Food and Drug Administration, we still are seeing many defective surgical devices and defective implants become available to U.S. consumers.

Johnston Law Group believes that manufacturers should be held responsible for their products, especially when medical professionals rely on these devices to help save patients’ lives. Call (844) 464-0062 or contact us online today.

Commonly Asked Questions

How can I determine if a medical device is defective?

Determining if a medical device is defective can involve several steps. First, research the device to see if there have been any recalls or safety alerts issued by the manufacturer or regulatory agencies like the FDA. Also, consult with your healthcare provider about any adverse effects you may be experiencing. Keeping detailed records of your medical history and any complications related to the device can also be helpful. If you suspect a defect, it is advisable to speak with a legal professional who can assist in evaluating your situation and determining if you have a valid claim.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit for a defective medical device injury?

The time frame for filing a lawsuit related to a defective medical device injury varies by state due to differing statutes of limitations. Generally, you may have anywhere from one to several years from the date of the injury or from when you discovered the injury to file a claim. It is essential to act promptly, as waiting too long can result in losing your right to seek compensation. Consulting with a legal professional as soon as possible can help ensure that you meet all necessary deadlines and protect your rights.
