What Are Drug and Medical Device Lawsuits?

Drug and medical device lawsuits are legal claims filed by people harmed by unsafe medications, implants, or medical products. Manufacturers have a duty to design, test, and market products that are safe for patients. When they fail, serious injuries — and even deaths — can occur.

Common legal claims include:

Design Defects: Products that are dangerous because of poor design.
Manufacturing Defects: Problems that happen while the product is being made.
Failure to Warn: Inadequate instructions or failure to alert users about serious risks.

If a drug or device harmed you, a lawsuit can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs.

Types of Drug and Medical Device Cases We Handle

Depending on the situation, cases can be handled as:

Individual Lawsuits

Filed by one person for injuries caused by a specific drug or device. Individual lawsuits allow for personalized compensation based on your unique damages.

Class Actions

A group of people with similar injuries from the same product file one lawsuit together. Compensation may be more limited, but cases move through the courts faster.

Multidistrict Litigation (MDL)

Many individual lawsuits are grouped together before one federal judge. MDL helps manage complex cases while preserving each person’s right to an individual settlement or verdict.

Examples of Dangerous Drugs and Devices

Our team monitors major cases across the country. Some notable lawsuits include:

Hip Implants (DePuy, Stryker, and others): Defective hip replacements led to tissue damage and painful revision surgeries.
Essure Birth Control: The birth control device Essure caused life-altering injuries, leading to a $1.6 billion settlement.
Opioid Lawsuits: Drug companies faced billions in settlements for their role in the opioid epidemic.
Ozempic Claims: Patients are suing over gastrointestinal problems, including stomach paralysis, linked to the diabetes drug Ozempic.

If you’ve been harmed by a drug or device, you may have a strong case — but time limits apply.
