A medical device is an instrument, machine or implant intended for use in the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of disease. A medical device can be something as simple as a thermometer, or as complex as a sophisticated joint implant. For many Americans today, medical technologies, such as heart pacemakers and implants, are not only necessary to maintain good health, they are necessary for survival. These critical devices are, at times, faulty or defective — seriously harming, rather than helping, the individual. When this occurs, those who manufacture these medical products should be held responsible.
Richardson, Patrick, Westbrook & Brickman specializes in this type of law and continues to successfully represent individuals who have become ill or have been harmed by faulty medical devices.
