A faulty medical device claim arises when a medical product fails to function safely or as intended, leading to injury or health complications.

Manufacturers, distributors, and healthcare providers have a duty to ensure all medical devices meet strict safety standards.

Common Types of Faulty Medical Devices:

✔ Defective pacemakers, causing irregular heart function.
✔ Faulty hip and knee implants, leading to pain, infection, or mobility issues.
✔ Defective surgical mesh, causing internal damage or organ complications.
✔ Faulty insulin pumps, delivering incorrect medication doses.
✔ Malfunctioning prosthetics, leading to discomfort or injury.
✔ Defective defibrillators, failing to operate in emergencies.

How Do Faulty Medical Devices Cause Harm?

When a medical device is defective, it can have serious health consequences, including:

✔ Severe pain and discomfort, requiring corrective procedures.
✔ Infections and internal injuries, leading to long-term health problems.
✔ Device failure, leaving a patient vulnerable to medical emergencies.
✔ Toxic exposure, from implants that degrade inside the body.
✔ Additional surgeries, to remove or replace faulty devices.

How to Prove a Faulty Medical Device Claim?

To make a successful claim, our solicitors will establish that:

✔ The medical device was defective or did not meet safety standards.
✔ You suffered an injury or health complication as a result.
✔ The manufacturer, supplier, or medical provider failed in their duty of care.

Evidence such as medical records, product recalls, expert reports, and witness statements can help support your claim.
