While technology has come a long way over the past few decades, including in medical devices that have become available to the public. However, those devices may cause adverse side effects and life-threatening health conditions to patients. Robotic surgical systems, transvaginal mesh implants, intrauterine devices, and hip replacement devices may have their upsides, but each of these products have been linked to damaging and sometimes permanent or fatal injuries.
Although manufacturers may have good intentions, in some cases, products are released that have not been adequately tested and have the potential to cause life-threatening complications. If a patient needs a certain device to resume his or her quality of life and that product ends up being unsafe or causing additional pain or damage, the patient may be entitled to seek compensation for the complications that he or she allegedly endured.
If a medical device has adversely affected you, it is important to seek legal counsel from a Kansas defective medical device attorney. In many cases in which a patient is allegedly injured, he or she may require additional procedures, surgeries, or treatments to fix the complications that resulted following use of the device. These additional medical procedures can often be costly, so working with a Kansas defective medical device attorney can help patients seek compensation to recover the costs of medical bills, loss of wages, and pain and suffering they may be facing.
A Kansas defective medical device attorney can also assist patients who may be confused regarding the litigation and personal injury process. Product liability claims can be more or less complex depending on the circumstances surrounding the patient’s condition, but a Kansas defective medical device attorney can help determine whether the manufacturer acted out of negligence by failing to warn physicians or consumers of known risks or if the company over-exaggerated the benefits or efficacy of its product.
