Find a Defective Medical Device Lawyer
The devices, medicine and other products that medical professionals use on a daily basis to diagnose and treat patients must be in proper working order if they are to function correctly. If a medical device has a defect of any kind, it may malfunction. This can have serious consequences for a patient, leading to failed treatment, additional surgery, complications and even death. For example, laparoscopic procedures are increasing in popularity. These are minimally invasive surgical procedures conducted using special devices called laparoscopes, which allow surgeons to make repairs or even remove organs or tissue through small incisions. If a laparoscope is defective and malfunctions, a patient may be left with a botched surgery. A complication caused by the malfunctioning device can even lead to brain damage, organ damage or death.
If you or a family member was injured by a defective medical device, you may be able to take legal action against the manufacturer or perhaps another party. It is important to find a qualified attorney who can help you determine how to move forward with a claim.
