Defective Medical Device Injury Lawyer
Representing Individuals Injured by Medical Devices and Dangerous Drugs
When a medical device company or pharmaceutical giant makes a mistake, the patient who had the device implanted or took the drugs pays the price.
When manufacturers place defective products on the market and promote those products to doctors and patients, those companies have a responsibility to do right by their patients.
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury due to a defective device or drug, you deserve compensation for your losses and suffering. While nothing can make up for a serious injury or the death of a loved one, the compensation you receive can help you cope with the tragedy and go on with your life.

Defective Medical Devices
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for testing and approving medical devices and prescription drugs. However, fast-track approval programs have resulted in numerous devices and drugs being placed on the market without rigorous safety testing. As a result, an increasing number of patients are being seriously injured by defective medical devices and dangerous drugs and need an experienced Medical Device Injury Lawyer. Among these products are:
- Heart devices such as stents, pacemakers, defibrillators and heart valves
- Artificial hips and artificial knee joints such as the DePuy ASR hip implant
- Respiratory devices and medicine pumps
- Implantable contraceptives and IUDs
- Silicone implants
- Transvaginal mesh devices
- Dangerous drugs, including SSRI antidepressants, Avandia, Actos and Paxil
