Defective Medical Devices

Board-Certified Trial Lawyer
Defective Medical Device Cases

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is charged with the responsibility to protect the public from the health hazards that can result from a defective medical device or implant. Many products undergo years of design and testing before being approved for use by the medical community. Despite the FDA's best efforts, however, defective medical devices and products such as unsafe wheelchairs continue to get onto the market and cause thousands of deaths and catastrophic injuries every year.
