Suffered an injury by an implanted medical device?
Make a product liability claim
If an implanted medical device has caused you personal injury, you may be able to make a product liability claim. Medical manufacturers make many products that save countless lives but unfortunately, a small proportion of medical devices cause serious harm to patients.
Implanted medical devices
These are some of the implanted medical devices that have been the focus of product liability claims in recent years:
- Artificial hip joints, eg Depuy hylamer hip joints
- Heart valves, eg Bjork Shiley and St. Jude’s Silzone
- Pacemakers, eg Guidant pacemakers
- Lens implants, eg Bausch and Lomb Hydroview intraocular lens
If you have sustained an injury as a result of a medical device and wish to make a product liability claim, it does not need to be proven that the manufacturer was negligent. All that needs to be shown is that the medical device caused your personal injury. This is known as strict liability and it applies to all product liability claims.
