Damages You Could Be Entitled to in a Defective Medical Device Claim

When a defective medical device causes you harm, you have the legal right to demand compensation. The costs you’ve suffered because of the defective device are called damages, and they include:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages due to time missed at work or reduced work capacity
• Wrongful death damages, if applicable

These are considered economic damages. You might also be entitled to non-economic damages, which include pain, suffering, and the overall impact of your injuries on your quality of life.

Determining how much you’re owed in damages is one of the most important parts of filing an injury claim. Without speaking to an attorney, you run the risk of being offered far less than you’re entitled to. Once you accept a settlement offer from a manufacturer, you can’t demand more, even if you later discover you should have been given far more than you were offered.

This is one of the many reasons why it is critical to have an experienced advocate in your corner fighting for your best interests.

We handle several types of defective medical device cases, including:

• Transvaginal Mesh
• Hernia Mesh
• CPAP
• Paragard
• Surgical Stapler
• Insulin Pump
• Hip, Knee, or Joint Implants
• IVC filters
• Pacemakers or other heart-related implants

These are just a few of the many types of cases our firm can help you with. If you’ve suffered harm due to a faulty medical device and you’re considering your next steps, contact our defective medical device lawyers today for a free case review.

How Do I Find Out Whether My Medical Device Has Been Recalled?

Unfortunately, patients who use faulty medical devices are sometimes unaware of the dangers they face. They only find out if they read about it in the news or experience a health problem that prompts their own research online.

If you’re concerned about a potential recall involving your device, you have a couple of options. You can visit the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s database of recalled medical devices or contact the manufacturer directly to find out more.

In some cases, a patient might not know the details of their medical device, especially those that are surgically implanted. The best way to find out the manufacturer and product details is to contact the healthcare provider who originally supplied you with the device.

Next Steps After Learning About a Recalled Medical Device

If you discover that your device has been recalled, and you suspect that you’re suffering harm because of the device, seek medical attention from a trusted physician and contact an experienced defective medical device attorney.

Your attorney will work with you on gathering evidence and taking steps to build a claim. If you have questions about whether you’re eligible for compensation through a product liability claim, contact the defective medical product lawyers at Ferrer Poirot Feller Daniel.

Does a Medical Device Need to be Recalled to Make Me Eligible for Compensation?

No. It’s often true that a device has caused significant harm to patients without being officially recalled. If you have suffered an injury or illness because of a medical product, you should explore your legal options for compensation, regardless of whether it’s been officially recalled.

Who Is at Fault for a Defective Medical Device?

Manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure the products they sell are safe and that consumers are informed about any potential risks associated with the product. When a manufacturer fails to do this, it can be held accountable for the costs of injuries its product causes.
