Cook County Defective Medical Devices Attorney

Lawyers for Patients Injured by Medical Product Defects in Bensenville, Elmhurst and DuPage County

When your health condition requires you to undergo any type of medical procedure, you depend on your doctor's skills and experience to complete the procedure in a safe and efficient manner. Depending on the nature of your condition, your doctor may utilize specially-designed devices and products, such as different types of monitoring devices and implantable devices. If these devices and products are not designed, tested, manufactured, or used properly, they can be the cause of serious injury, illness, or death for an unsuspecting patient.

We understand the challenges that are often involved in such cases, and we know what it takes to get results. If you or a loved one has been harmed by an unsafe medical product, our product liability team is equipped to assist you in seeking the compensation you deserve.

DuPage County Medical Device Liability Lawyers

A company that manufactures medical devices and healthcare-related products does not develop, market, and distribute such products with an intent to harm patients. However, time constraints, financial concerns, and outside pressure may lead to a manufacturer to push a device or product to market before being thoroughly researched or tested. There are also strict regulations and guidelines in place, enforced by federal agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but many badly designed and improperly manufactured devices make it to market every year anyway.

Some of the most common defective or dangerous medical devices and products include but are not limited to:

• Pacemakers
• Insulin pumps
• Medication delivery machines and systems
• Artificial hips, knees, and shoulders
• Tools that cannot be cleaned or sterilized properly
• Transvaginal mesh and other implantable products
• Breast implants or augmentation products

Defective Products or Use Issues?

If you or a member of your family has been harmed by a device or product that you suspect is dangerous or defective, the team at Kaiser Law is here to help. Our lawyers realize that many considerations affect how your case should be handled. For example, if the device was poorly designed or improperly manufactured, we can help you take action against the manufacturer of the device. If the product was dangerous by its nature but did not come with adequate warnings and proper instructions, the distributor of the product could be liable for your injuries. The doctor who used the device could also have some liability if he or she used it improperly or in a manner not recommended by the manufacturer.

With over 100 years of combined legal experience, our attorneys understand the importance of conducting a full investigation into the circumstances of your injuries. We will review medical records, product testing records, and any other available information that might help us determine the true cause of your injuries and which party or parties may be liable. You and your family are our top priority, and we will work hard to get you the compensation you need to start rebuilding your life. We are not afraid of large corporations, their insurers, or their attorneys, and our lawyers will not be bullied into accepting a settlement that does not meet all of your needs. Our team will fight on your behalf until you obtain justice for your injuries.
