Medical and pharmaceutical devices are used to aid in the diagnosis and/or treatment of health-related issues. When functioning properly, devices such as pacemakers, implantable defibrillators, inhalers, hearing aids and artificial joints vastly improve the lives of people suffering from chronic diseases, disabilities and illnesses. Unfortunately, however, medical and pharmaceutical devices can and do fail. Bone screws may weaken and break, defibrillators can short circuit, birth control patches have been known to cause dangerous blood clots and implants often rupture. As you can see, defective medical and pharmaceutical devices can result in catastrophic injury, permanent disability and even death.

 

If you or a loved one has been harmed by a defective medical or pharmaceutical product, it is crucial to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. Handling each claim as a special and unique case, our skilled trial lawyers can help you secure all of the compensation to which you may be entitled. This may include compensation for pain and suffering, financial loss, emotional distress and past, current and future medical expenses. In some cases, you may also be entitled to punitive damages for another party’s wrongdoing. Our dedicated attorneys can also help you deal with your insurance company, as well as the insurer of the other party or parties. The insurance companies have lawyers working hard to minimize their payouts; you need a lawyer who will work just as hard for you.
