Medical Device Litigation

Each year hundreds of new and different medical devices, including joint replacement components (knees, elbows, hips, ankles), cosmetic implants (chin, breast, buttocks, calf), and surgical instruments are placed on the market by medical device makers.

The Food & Drug Administration is responsible for testing and approving these devices for safety and efficacy. Unfortunately, the approval process has been accelerated in recent years as multi-national manufacturers motivated by profit push harder and harder for fast device approval and less rigorous testing. Oftentimes, the FDA simply approves a new device, prosthesis, or implant on the basis of its “substantial similarity” to an already existing device.

Bailey Perrin Bailey’s device and instrument product liability group represents clients, and the survivors of deceased clients, who have suffered serious injury and/or death as the result of defective medical products. Successful claims against the makers of medical instruments, prosthetic devices and implants involve multiple experts, exhaustive investigation, and significant financial resources. Our attorneys have the experience, resources and network of medical experts and investigators to successfully pursue these claims, whether on behalf of an individual client or a group (or a class) of plaintiffs injured by the same device.

Because cases involving defective medical devices are complex and expensive, and issues of federal safety and FDA approval may pre-empt state law, it is critical that you have an attorney who is experienced in this area.

Our product liability team can assist you in recovering the compensation you deserve.
