What Our Clients Say

"When looking for an attorney, I couldn't find anything negative about the Rasansky Law Firm. When I called other law firms, I had a hard time getting through to anyone. The accident was horrifying. I lost my job after the accident. It was great someone was able to meet with me at my home. Troy eased my mind. I later met with Ryan, and he answered all my questions about my case. Ryan did a great job getting the best settlement for me."

Defective Medical Devices: Harming Texas Patients

When most people think about Texas medical errors and Texas medical malpractice, they assume that the fault lies with the doctors, the nurses, or the hospital. But in some cases, medical mistakes and surgical errors take place because the patient has been the victim of a dangerous and defective medical device. Medical devices are closely regulated by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), but all too often defective medical devices are used in doctors’ offices, hospitals, and clinics for weeks or months before they are discovered. Each year, dozens of defective medical devices are recalled by the FDA and thousands of people are injured or killed because of faulty medical devices.

The term “medical device” covers a wide spectrum of healthcare products, including heart valves, stents, implants, pacemakers, anesthesia systems, prosthetic knees, syringes, defibrillators, slings, prosthetic hips, ventilators, pain management pumps, x-ray machines, biopsy equipment, ultrasound equipment, infusion pumps, and implant kits. In some cases, a medical device might be used during a procedure or operation. In other cases, a medical device might be used to diagnose you or screen you or test you. In still other cases, a medical device may be implanted or inserted into your body.

If you are injured by a defective medical device, who is responsible? In many cases, the manufacturer of the medical device is responsible for any injury that comes to you or a loved one and should compensate you for any losses. In rare cases, a doctor or hospital may be responsible for your defective medical devices injuries if they continued to use a defective device after a known medical device recall.

If you live in Texas and have either been harmed by a defective medical device or know someone who has, call a products liability law firm in your area to discuss your case.
