Greenville, North Carolina Accident Attorney
Faulty Medical Devices and Personal Injury
Faulty medical devices and equipment can lead to a number of serious injuries and illnesses in patients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates and sets a standard for medical equipment by working to ensure manufacturers follow strict guidelines in regards to the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. The FDA also regulates manufacturers by ensuring they include warnings and warning labels regarding possible dangers or limitations of medical equipment. When a manufacturer fails to obey FDA regulations in regards to medical devices, this can be the basis for a successful product liability claim.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a faulty or defective medical device, you may be eligible to file a product liability claim and receive compensation for the losses you have suffered. Greenville, North Carolina product liability attorney Timothy E. Burch is familiar with faulty medical devices and how they can affect a patient. His experience and resources have proven invaluable in the cases he has taken on, helping him achieve success for his clients. With any medically-related personal injury claim, devices must be studied and understood in order to assign liability to the manufacturer. Attorney Burch and his staff have the ability to do this.
Defective Medical Devices and the FDA
When a device or product is approved by the FDA, proving liability of the manufacturer can be difficult. However, a skilled lawyer may still be able to secure a winning verdict or a settlement in your favor.
