Legal Help for Injuries Caused by Defective Medical Devices

Holding Negligent Manufacturers Accountable | Free Consultation: 818-350-2349

Medical devices are designed to improve lives, restore health, and assist in recovery. From pacemakers and joint replacements to surgical implants and insulin pumps, millions of Americans rely on these devices every day. But when a device malfunctions due to poor design, manufacturing errors, or inadequate testing, the consequences can be catastrophic.

At Impact Attorneys, we represent individuals and families who have been harmed by defective medical devices. If you or a loved one experienced serious injury or complications after using a medical device, you may be entitled to compensation. We are here to hold negligent manufacturers accountable—and to fight for the justice and financial support you deserve.

When a Life-Saving Device Becomes Life-Threatening

When you agree to a medical procedure involving an implant or medical device, you’re placing your trust not only in your doctor, but also in the companies responsible for creating and distributing that device. Unfortunately, some manufacturers cut corners to maximize profits, rushing products to market without adequate testing or ignoring red flags from clinical trials. Others fail to warn doctors and patients about known risks, or continue to sell devices even after they’ve been recalled in other countries.

The result? Patients suffer. Some experience internal bleeding, infection, or organ damage. Others must undergo revision surgeries to remove or replace defective implants. In the worst cases, the failure of a medical device can lead to permanent disability or death.

Common Defective Medical Devices Linked to Serious Injury

While any medical product can malfunction, certain devices have become notorious for causing widespread harm. Some of the most commonly litigated defective medical devices include:

• Hip and knee replacements (such as metal-on-metal implants)

• Transvaginal mesh used for pelvic organ prolapse

• IVC blood clot filters

• Defective pacemakers or heart stents

• Pain pumps and insulin pumps with inaccurate dosing

• Spinal cord stimulators and neurostimulators

• Hernia mesh

• Breast implants linked to rare cancers

Even if a device hasn’t been officially recalled, that doesn’t mean it’s safe. Many dangerous products remain on the market long after complications begin to surface. If you’ve suffered unexpected symptoms, chronic pain, or complications after receiving a medical implant or device, you should speak to an experienced product liability attorney immediately.

What Are Your Legal Rights After a Defective Medical Device Injury?

If a defective device caused your injury, you may be able to file a product liability claim against the manufacturer or distributor. These cases fall under strict liability laws, which means you don’t have to prove the company was negligent—only that the product was unreasonably dangerous and that it caused your injuries.

You may be eligible to recover damages for medical bills (including future treatment), lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in severe cases, permanent disability. If a loved one died due to a defective device, surviving family members may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other losses.

At Impact Attorneys, we help clients prove not only the injury, but the connection between the medical device and the harm caused. We investigate how the product was designed, tested, manufactured, and marketed. We work with leading experts to demonstrate what the manufacturer knew—and when they knew it.

These Cases Are Complex. We Make Them Clear.

Product liability cases involving medical devices are among the most complex in personal injury law. They often require understanding FDA approval processes, internal corporate communications, and highly technical medical data. Additionally, these cases may be part of multidistrict litigation (MDL), where similar claims from across the country are consolidated to streamline the process.

At Impact Attorneys, we have the resources, legal experience, and expert network to build a compelling case on your behalf. We’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming this process can feel for injured patients. That’s why we handle everything—from gathering evidence and coordinating medical evaluations to negotiating with corporate legal teams or going to trial if needed.

Most importantly, we operate on a contingency fee basis. You don’t pay unless we win your case. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.

If you or someone you love has been injured by a defective medical device, do not wait. Medical device lawsuits are subject to strict time limits known as statutes of limitations. In California and many other states, you typically have two years from the date of injury to file a claim—sometimes less if a government entity is involved.
