Defective Hip Implant Lawyers in Boston and Springfield
Massachusetts Defective Knee Implant Lawyer
As people age, they turn to medical implants and devices to replace diseased and worn-out knees, hips and other parts of their bodies. Their widespread use makes surgery to install medical devices and implants almost routine. Most people get a new lease on life. However, for some patients, the outcome is not so favorable because of a defective hip implant or other medical device.
Two Areas of Law Focusing on Medical Implant Defects
At our law firm with offices in Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts, our attorneys help clients who have suffered injury, illness or wrongful death as a result of defective medical devices and implants. We also initiate medical malpractice claims against medical practitioners and hospitals when negligent surgery and care lead to poor outcomes for patients who received a device or implant.
Examples of Our Cases
Our product liability and medical malpractice lawyers handle a wide range of cases arising from defective implants, including:
- Heart valve replacements
- Hip and knee replacements
- Pacemakers
- Defibrillators
- Artificial discs
- Cranial implants
- Cochlear implants
In some instances, the device or implant has been recalled by the manufacturer but is still installed. Our attorneys are highly knowledgeable about medical device recalls, and can usually tell a prospective client very quickly whether the device has been subject to recall.
Compensation for Medical Bills and More
When we bring an action against the manufacturer of a medical device or against a surgeon or other medical practitioner, we seek compensation for the client's medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other expenses related to the medical device or implant. In the case of a wrongful death resulting from a device or implant, we also seek compensation pain and suffering that occurred before death.
Our firm has a team of attorneys who focus on medical malpractice cases. Together with our product liability attorneys, they have achieved a remarkable record of success in matters arising from defective medical devices and implants.
