Pursuing a defective implant or implant failure lawsuit might be the best way to seek compensation and hold manufacturers accountable.
Medical implants have revolutionized healthcare by providing patients with life-saving solutions for a variety of conditions. Many devices work as intended to provide improved mobility, function, and quality of life. However, not all outcomes are successful.
Defective implants are medical devices that do not function as intended or cause harm to the patient due to design flaws, manufacturing defects, or improper labeling. These devices can range from hip replacements and breast augmentations to knee implants and pacemakers.
Regardless of the type, defective implants can pose significant risks to a patient’s health, often causing pain, infection, decreased quality of life, or the need for revision surgery.
Some of the most common medical devices involved in implant failure lawsuits also include defibrillators, IVC filters, contraceptives, dental implants, synthetic bone grafts, and spinal stabilizers. As such, these cases can be complex. Consult a lawyer skilled in defective implant litigation to learn more.
There are several reasons implants may fail and instigate an implant failure lawsuit.
• Design defects
• Manufacturing flaws
• Incorrect labeling or instructions
• Poor surgical techniques
In some cases, an implant’s design makes it prone to failure. However, even if an implant is properly designed, errors during the manufacturing process can cause defects. This can include using substandard materials or failing to meet quality control standards.
Furthermore, some implants fail not because of their design but because of inadequate instructions for use.
Healthcare providers might use the device correctly but harm the patient due to improper labeling or missed warnings. While less common, implant failure can also be attributed to a surgical error, so contact a medical malpractice lawyer to discuss your implant failure lawsuit and protect your rights.
What constitutes an implant failure lawsuit? It is a legal action taken by patients harmed by defective implants. These lawsuits typically fall under the category of product liability, which means the plaintiff is suing the manufacturer or distributor of the defective device for damages.
Sometimes, the surgeon or hospital may also be named in the lawsuit. This typically happens if their negligence during a procedure or treatment contributed to the implant’s failure. For more details, contact Herren Adams.
Patients who file an implant failure lawsuit may be entitled to several types of compensation, including money for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, punitive damages, and more. However, patients must prove their case to win their settlement. Thus, if you have been injured by a defective implant or medical negligence, navigating the legal process and proving your case can be overwhelming.
