It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to ensure the devices placed in your body are safe and effective. Patients that are harmed by the negligence of these companies in failing to provide a safe product may be entitled to compensation for increased medical costs, pain and suffering, and any other costs incurred as a result.

If a defective medical device injures someone, they may have grounds to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer, wholesaler, or distributor, depending on the type of defect. A design defect is a flaw in the original blueprint of a product, which causes it to be unreasonably dangerous, and creates a hazard for potential users. This type of defect will typically be found in all of the manufactured products. A defective product lawsuit can also be brought for a manufacturer’s failure to warn of potential risks. Any party in the chain of distribution can be liable if warnings or instructions could have prevented injury from foreseeable risks or if the warnings themselves, when followed properly, caused the injury.
