Medical Device Lawyers

Consumers complain that medical devices can cause additional irreversible injuries. As with defective drugs, defects in medical devices can occur from inadequate testing and rushing the approval process to get a product on the market.

The risk of injury caused by a defective medical device is greater than its possible benefits. A defective medical device is either flawed in design, manufacture, inadequate instructions or insufficient warnings and it does not achieve its intended purpose. Another defect may be in warnings to physicians and to consumers. The prescribing physician must be warned of any dangerous potential risks associated with a medical device.

The Texas law firm of Miller Weisbrod Olesky, Attorneys At Law, represent victims of defective medical devices in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits against major medical product manufacturers. Our team of accomplished attorneys can offer you sound legal advice and decades of experience fighting against big medical device corporations nationwide. We put our knowledge and in-depth trial experience to work on your behalf to achieve the just compensation you deserve for your injuries.

Defective medical devices cause untold harm to those they are designed to help. When a potentially life-saving implant causes serious, permanent or fatal injury, the victims need real help to recover.

The lawyers of Miller Weisbrod Olesky have a proven record of success in these cases. We are currently interviewing clients who have suffered as a result of the following defective medical devices:

• Allergan Breast Implant Recall - The FDA reports that Textured Surface Breast implants, unique to Allergan’s implants, are tied to 481 cases of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
• Attune® Knee System - The Attune® component intended to attach to the tibia (the tibial baseplate or tibial tray) can come loose, or “debond” and cause loss of function and pain.
• DePuy ASR SL or XL Acetabular hip joint implants, which were placed on recall in August 2010 due to a high percentage of hip failures and other concerns
• Defective metal-on-metal hip implants, which include DePuy Pinnacle, and ASR products, as well as Stryker Orthopedics' Rejuvenate
• Shoulder pain pumps containing lidocaine or another powerful analgesic that causes the destruction of cartilage
• Any defective medical device

Many victims of defective medical devices require additional surgery to correct problems that should not have occurred in the first place. In some cases, permanent damage can result. Therefore, if you or your loved one suffered due to a defective medical device, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries and medical expenses.
