Issues with Defective Medical Device Lawsuit

When defective medical devices become available to the public, problems associated with them can generally be described in one of three ways:

  • Device Issues — defects from the fabrication process, mechanical or electrical malfunctions, or faulty material used to manufacture the device. Producers of that defective device or the corporation who lends its name to the device could potentially be held liable for any injuries suffered by individuals if they can prove that the damage is directly attributable to the faultiness of the instrument.
  • Usage Difficulties– This can be caused by design irregularities, incorrect labeling, poor or confusing instructions, or inadequate packaging. Usage problems can also be the result of a lack of experience and knowledge that the person helping you with treatment has with the product.
  • Clinical Errors — This is the hardest scenario to prove since a patient’s preexisting medical disorder (e.g., allergy) might trigger the device to do more harm than it does to benefit that individual.
