What Are Defective Drugs and Medical Devices?
Defective drug and medical device claims involve manufacturing and design defects that put patients at risk of serious harm or death. When you take prescription drugs or have medical devices implanted, you understand the risks and benefits. However, defective manufacturing can make the drugs and devices more dangerous than expected. Types of drug defects and defective medical device cases include:
- Undisclosed side effects of drugs
- Use of substandard materials
- Defective medical implant design
- Contaminated medications
- Improperly stored drugs
- Incorrect labeling
What Are Some Examples of Situations Where I Might Need a Defective Drug and Medical Device Lawyer?
One of the problems with defective drug and medical device cases is that it can take weeks or months before you are aware of the problem. After suffering pain, adverse reactions, and infection, your doctor may claim it is due to another medical condition. You can continue to suffer until the source of the problem is discovered. Some signs that you could be suffering injuries caused by a defective drug or medical device (and should call a lawyer immediately) include:
- Pain or infection around the surgical site
- Visible damage to the implant device
- Unusual reactions near the implant site
- Abnormal lab results
- Side effects of the drugs not contained in the warning label
- Other patients suffering similar complications
How Can a Drug and Medical Device Defect Lawyer Help Me?
A drug defect and defective medical device lawyer can help you recover compensation for your injuries. Pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers may want to silence you with a low settlement offer. They may also claim your injuries were not caused by their defective materials. A product liability lawyer can fight for your rights to get full compensation for your injuries, including:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical care
- Corrective surgery
- Lost income
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
What Could Happen if I Don’t Hire a Drug Defect Lawyer?
If you don’t hire a drug defect lawyer, you will have to live with the drug company’s resolution. They may fight your injury claim and try to blame it on some other medical condition. Even if they do offer you a settlement, it may not be enough to cover your ongoing medical needs. If you don’t hire a lawyer to hold the drug companies accountable, they can go on injuring other innocent people. If you don’t hire a drug defect lawyer, you could face:
- Chronic pain and disability
- Medical complications
- Expensive medical bills
- Emotional suffering
