Defective Medical Device

Patients are relying more and more on technology to diagnose and treat their conditions. More and more high tech medical devices are put out in the market with the goals of helping people, but all too often these devices are defectively designed, tested, marketed or manufactured, resulting in serious injuries to unsuspecting patients. Patients may not have been fully warned of the risks of their use, so their decisions to use them weren’t properly made. These devices can actually make the person’s overall health worse.

These defective devices can include,

• Preloaded syringes,

• Contraceptive devices.

• Several defendants and several insurance companies could be involved.
• The discovery process (when parties ask for and disclose facts, data and documents) could be drawn out and complicated.
