Medical Device Litigation

Medical device litigation is one of the practice areas covered by the international law firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB). The attorneys in our Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Practice have a great deal of experience in medical device litigation. We have defended corporate giants like Eli Lilly & Co. as well as much smaller organizations. The size of your company is not important--providing you with the best medical device litigation defense in the industry is.

Medical device litigation can occur for a number of reasons. A recall by manufacturers who make and sell medical devices can cause the manufacturer to be held liable for defects in their products and for failure to warn consumers of the potential dangers and side effects associated with their products. If a settlement does not occur, the result is typically medical device litigation.

Medical device litigation is often complex, lengthy and expensive. To minimize the effects on our clients, we use the firm’s abundant resources. We draw upon the experience of other skilled attorneys at our firm when we are facing medical device litigation. We work closely with our SHB Class Action & Complex Litigation Practice, which represents a geographically and commercially diverse set of industries. Along with representing medical-devices manufacturers, including leading automotive and aircraft companies, pharmaceutical and, agribusinesses, chemical companies, telecommunications providers, and tobacco and alcoholic-beverage companies.

While the causes of actions involving medical devices are virtually the same as in other product liability lawsuits and drug litigation cases, the stakes are higher because of the human aspect and the potential dollar amounts involved. The stakes are too high to work with a law firm that doesn’t possess the expertise we do. We have earned a rock-solid reputation for defending our clients in medical device litigation, and we’d like to learn more about your company and your legal issue. Contact us today.
