Defective medical devices — from hip implants to surgical mesh to pacemakers — injure thousands of patients each year. When manufacturers cut corners on testing or fail to warn of known risks, they can be held accountable.
Medical device cases often involve complex engineering evidence, FDA regulatory history, and expert testimony about design and manufacturing defects.

Medical device manufacturers have a legal duty to ensure their products are safe and effective. This includes adequate pre-market testing, proper manufacturing quality control, and post-market surveillance of adverse events. When manufacturers fail in these duties, injured patients have legal recourse.
Medical device claims may be based on design defects (the device was inherently dangerous), manufacturing defects (something went wrong in production), or failure to warn (the manufacturer knew of risks but did not adequately disclose them to physicians and patients).
Many medical device cases are part of multi-district litigation (MDL), where similar cases are consolidated for efficiency while preserving each plaintiff's right to an individual trial. Our network attorneys are experienced in MDL proceedings and bellwether trials.
