The use of medical devices has transformed the world of modern medicine. Today, doctors commonly employ medical devices to diagnose, treat and monitor a patient’s health condition. When functioning properly, these devices can be a live-saving alternative to a patient. However, unfortunately, not all medical devices function properly and a defective medical device can lead to serious health problems or even death.

Because often numerous companies contribute to the manufacturing of one medical device, it can be difficult to determine the negligent party responsible for a defective medical device. Broussard & David represents clients injured as a result of a defective medical device. Our attorneys have the experience and resources required to fully analyze defective medical device claims and to successfully fight for your legal rights.

Manufacturers sometimes design and sell products that are inherently dangerous. If a manufacturer fails to adequately test a product, a manufacturer may not notice the product’s dangerous defect. Furthermore, manufacturers sometimes fail to warn consumers about the dangers associated with certain medical devices until it is too late.

Certain brands of the following medical devices have been found to be defective:

• Defibrillators
• Pacemakers
• Stents
• Aortic connectors
• Knee implants
• Hip socket implants
• Shoulder pain pumps
• Birth control devices

An individual injured as a result of a defective medical device and his or her family may be entitled to compensation for the following claims:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Physical and emotional pain and suffering
• Past and future lost wages
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Loss of society and companionship
• Loss of consortium
