Defective Medical Devices
Pharmaceutical corporations and manufacturers of medical devices have an absolute duty to ensure all medical devices and medical products are safe for patients to use. When a defective medical device is shown to be harmful, people’s lives are put in danger.
Experienced Product Liability Attorney In Georgia Advocating For Medical Device Safety And Manufacturer Accountability
The defective medical device lawyers at the McArthur Law Firm have seen the kind of devastation that injuries or deaths due to defective medical products can cause to victims and their families. Product liability attorney Kathy McArthur knows and has great respect for the medical industry and takes cases involving health care very seriously. Her husband, Dr. Waldo Floyd III, an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in hand injuries and problems, is the first to review the medical information in cases the McArthur Law Firm is considering taking.
The McArthur Law Firm is dedicated to ensuring the designers and manufacturers of defective medical products are accountable to harmed patients. For example, as co-counsel in a product liability case, we were able to recover a $19 million trial verdict for our clients. We have successfully fought for the rights of clients nationwide and statewide throughout Georgia. Our defective medical device lawyers are ready to fight for those living in Albany, Columbus and Savannah as well as families in and around Macon, Augusta and Atlanta.
ARE MEDICAL DEVICE RECALLS NECESSARY FOR A PERSONAL INJURY LAWSUIT?
Medical device recalls are sometimes instigated by the manufacturer or the FDA when defective medical products harm patients. However, a medical device recall is not necessary to file a lawsuit if a patient suffered an injury due to a defective device. Often, only after a number of people suffer injuries is a medical device recall issued.
SHOULD I FILE A MEDICAL DEVICE SAFETY LAWSUIT?
It is extremely important that any product injury claim involving a defective medical device be investigated thoroughly and that those responsible be held accountable. This helps to ensure that medical device manufacturers, designers and regulators responsible for defective medical product injuries and deaths are prevented from continuing to hurt others with their negligence. In addition, with the help of defective medical device lawyers, injury victims and their families can secure the compensation they will need to cover:
- Hospital bills
- Pain and suffering
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Long-term care
- Lost wages and benefits
- Funeral costs
