Do No Assume
Medical devices too at times become defective. Merely because the device is made by a blue-chip, multi-national company and is certified by leading medical specialists is no guarantee that it is not, or can become defective. While most medical devices work trouble-free for a lifetime, there are occasions when a device breaks down or malfunctions, with life-threatening consequences.
A Personal Health Firestorm
A faulty defective medical device can place a person who needs it at serious risk, which at times can be life-endangering. Millions of Americans use medical devices every year, comforted in the belief that they are protected from serious health risks. But often these devices go wrong and when that happens, the patient could be seriously injured, encountering pain and discomfort which, in extreme cases, could result in death. Patients look at medical devices as an effective way to improve their quality of life but when something goes wrong and is undetected, the effect could have disastrous and lasting consequences.
Waiting is an Afterthought
If you have encountered an injury because of a defective medical device, or if someone in your family has been so affected, then you need to see a serious injury lawyer with particular experience in defective medical device issues. Most serious injury lawyers work on a contingency basis, which means you pay their fee only after you have received monetary compensation. Bear in mind that Medical Device Lawsuits fall under a Statute of Limitations in all states. There is a time crunch.
Most likely though you will be pretty motivated to get this lawsuit show on the road though.
