Who is Liable for Injuries from Defective Medical Products?

The FDA is responsible for approving medical equipment and devices, but ultimately, the liability for a defective medical device injury lies with the manufacturer and associated parties.

Those who may be found liable in a claim include:

• Product Designer
• Drug Manufacturing Company
• Product Marketer & Distributor
• Pharmacist/Pharmacy
• Surgeon
• Other Medical Professionals

Because of the complexities and multiple parties involved in a defective medical device injury claim, it may be helpful to speak with one of our experienced attorneys here at Van Wey, Metzler & Williams before pursuing legal action.

This can help you to determine if a defective medical product is responsible for your injuries and assist you in identifying the liable parties.

Do You Have Grounds for a Defective Medical Product Injury Lawsuit?

We work with you and your family to determine if you are eligible for a lawsuit, either as an individual or as part of a mass tort (class action lawsuit). While many factors go into whether or not you qualify for a lawsuit, here are some of the questions you can use to determine whether legal action may be possible:

• Is there proof of serious or fatal injury? If the defective medical device injuries were minor or dissipated without additional medical intervention, there may be no basis for a claim.
• Were there tangible and intangible damages? There may be a basis for a claim if a client incurred serious hospital and medical bills, lost wages, loss of future income, pain and suffering, funeral costs, loss of companionship, and other losses.

Was someone else liable for the injuries or death? A medical device recall attorney must be able to prove a connection between the defective medical product and manufacturers and the injury or death.
