Compensation Available in Defective Medical Device Cases

Answer:

When clients come to us, whether it’s a defective medical device or a pharmaceutical medication case, they want to know what the compensation will be. What is it that they can claim? We go through those things with them. Compensation can involve thinks like medical expenses. For example, if there’s a defective knee replacement hardware and you had to have the hardware taken out and new hardware put in and you had to go through the expense of a knee replacement surgery again, those expenses are recoverable. In that same scenario, if you lost time from work, your lost wages are recoverable.

If you’re left with intangible damages like pain and suffering, inconvenience, loss of the capacity for the enjoyment of life, mental anguish, those are also things that you can recover in a medical device case. Damages will differ from client to client depending upon your circumstances. Generally speaking, though, those are the things that you can claim in a case like that. If you have a defective medical device case or a defective drug case, medication type case that’s occurred in Duval County or Nassau County or any of the surrounding areas, give us a call. We’ll sit down and talk about the ins and outs and formulate a plan on how to help you the best.
