Anyone who has had a hip replacement or pacemaker implanted expects the device to work once it’s in place. Medical devices must work flawlessly because once the surgeon implants them, they can’t easily be removed or repaired.
If you’ve had a medical device implant that has failed, or heard about a major recall and wondered if you were affected, you should contact a Coral Gables defective medical device lawyer immediately. Your life could be at risk if the implant malfunctions.

A “medical device” is any item used in the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a health condition. Medical devices range from bandages and thermometers to CT scanners. A “defective medical device” is one that has a recognized flaw that harms the end user.

Like all personal injury claims, a medical device claim needs skilled legal assistance. Making a successful medical device case requires detailed evidence, and our Coral Gables attorneys know how to acquire relevant information from manufacturers and medical professionals:
Medical devices can be defective in several ways. A design defect prevents the product from being built or used safely. Manufacturing defects happen during the production run, and only affect a select number of products. Inadequate warning labels or notices don’t tell users about possible side effects or dangers of the product.
A class-action suit is filed when there is a large number of litigants who all have the same set of facts in their case. This often happens in cases involving medications and medical devices. We let you know if there are any class-action suits in your case and if you should join them.

You need an attorney with the legal experience and the compassion to guide you through the process.
