Product Liability and Defective Medical Device Cases
When Products Cause Paralysis
Defective products can cause serious injuries including paralysis. Manufacturers have a duty to design and produce safe products. When they fail to do so, innocent people suffer devastating consequences.
Medical devices are supposed to help patients recover from injuries and illnesses. When these devices are defective, they can cause additional harm. Defective spinal implants, surgical equipment, and other medical devices have caused paralysis in many patients.
Common Defective Products That Cause Paralysis
Various defective products can lead to paralysis injuries:
- Vehicle defects – Faulty brakes, defective tires, and airbag failures
- Medical devices – Spinal fusion hardware, surgical robots, and implants
- Recreational equipment – Defective helmets, diving gear, and sports equipment
- Playground equipment – Faulty swings, slides, and climbing structures
- Pool equipment – Defective diving boards and safety equipment
- Industrial machinery – Manufacturing equipment with design flaws
Types of Product Defects
Three main types of defects can make products dangerous:
- Design defects – Inherent flaws that make the entire product line dangerous
- Manufacturing defects – Problems that occur during production affecting some units
- Warning defects – Inadequate instructions or failure to warn about known risks
Medical Device Recalls and FDA Actions
The FDA recalls dangerous medical devices when safety problems are discovered. However, recalls often come too late for many patients. By the time a device is recalled, it may have already injured many people.
We monitor FDA safety communications and device recalls. We stay informed about emerging problems with medical devices. This helps us identify potential cases and protect our clients’ rights.
Proving Product Liability Cases
Product liability cases require extensive investigation and expert testimony. We work with engineers, medical experts, and other professionals to build strong cases. These experts help us prove that the product was defective and caused our client’s paralysis.
We investigate the manufacturer’s testing and quality control procedures. We review internal company documents when possible. This evidence can show that manufacturers knew about dangers but failed to warn consumers.
Fighting Against Manufacturers
Large manufacturers have teams of lawyers defending them. They often try to blame victims for their own injuries. We fight back against these tactics and hold manufacturers accountable.
We pursue compensation for all damages caused by defective products. This includes medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We also seek punitive damages when manufacturers acted recklessly.
