A defective medical device lawsuit is a personal injury lawsuit where the injured party has been harmed because of a defect in or a failure of a medical device.\u00a0 Medical devices fail for a variety of reasons, from poor design, to faulty assembly and improper implantation.\u00a0 Medical devices can also be deemed defective if a patient is not adequately informed about the risks and benefits associated with the device.\u00a0 Some medical devices have protection from lawsuits based on a doctrine known as preemption.\u00a0 If you intend to pursue a medical device lawsuit, it is critical that the law firm representing you understands how to overcome preemption and other legal defenses.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
