Defective Products
Claims for injuries caused by medical devices are also included under the heading of pharmaceutical liability. Under Section 201 of the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, a medical device is defined as “an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar article that is intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease.”
Examples of medical devices include: defibrillators, heart leads, surgical screws, hip implants, hernia mesh, heart valves and many other items. If you or a loved one has been injured by a medical device or experienced serious side effects, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries, medical bills and lost wages. Medical device lawsuits are complicated, and an experienced attorney can evaluate your situation and help explain your legal options.
