Every day, millions of Americans rely on medical devices to improve their quality of life, manage chronic conditions, or even sustain life itself.

Our Chicago product liability attorneys have successfully represented countless clients who have suffered harm from devices that were meant to heal. We can help you hold the manufacturers accountable and secure the compensation you need to recover. Contact us today.
The Risks of Defective Medical Devices
Medical devices undergo rigorous testing and require approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before reaching the market. Manufacturers must adhere to strict quality control standards and safety regulations throughout the design, production, and distribution processes. These protocols exist because the stakes couldn’t be higher—these devices have a direct impact on people’s lives and well-being.
When manufacturers cut corners, overlook safety issues, or rush products to market, the physical consequences can be severe: internal bleeding, tissue damage, organ failure, infection, chronic pain, and even death, to name a few. Beyond the immediate physical harm, victims often face astronomical medical bills for revision surgeries, extended hospital stays, and ongoing care.
