Georgia Defective Medical Device Liability Attorneys.

A defective medical device is a product designed to provide some health benefit, but because of a defect in design, manufacturing, or marketing, it has the potential to cause greater harm than good. All medical devices are supposed to be produced with care and extensive testing so that the manufacturer is aware of any possible side effects or risks associated with using the product. In some cases, the device may provide an essential life-saving benefit to some people, but cause life-threatening injuries in others - and for this reason, the manufacturer must disclose any possible risks.

At Howell and Johnson, our product liability attorney works with design engineers, medical experts, and other professionals to expose design flaws and manufacturing defects that cause medical device failures. We review patents, test results, and other data. We also consult medical economists in order to accurately quantify the cost of an injury or fatality to our client.

Examples of defective medical devices involved in recent recalls and/or litigation include the following:

Defective defibrillators
Defective heart valves
Defective intrathecal drug pumps
Defective pacemakers
Defective IV drips

Winning a case against an FDA approved product is extremely difficult and takes a firm commitment to investigating and presenting the medical facts accurately and clearly. The courts have taken a position that medical devices approved by the FDA must be inherently safe. The manufacturer is thereby absolved of liability. The problem is that injuries do happen because the FDA is often only shown what the manufacturer wants it to see and test. We go beyond the surface of FDA test results to find the liability that will result in the money damages you are entitled to.
