Medical devices are supposed to improve lives not destroy them. But across the United States, thousands of patients every year suffer serious complications from defective implants, unsafe surgical tools, and devices rushed to market without proper FDA testing.

If you’re a victim, the situation can feel overwhelming: chronic pain, additional surgeries, mounting medical bills, and the fear that no one will listen.

That’s exactly why Legal Claim Counsel exists. We help injured patients across the U.S. take on major manufacturers and fight for compensation with no upfront costs and no risk.

What Makes Medical Device Lawsuits in the U.S. Unique?

Most medical device claims fall under U.S. product liability law, and many are handled through:

• Federal MDL (Multi-District Litigation)– consolidating similar cases for efficiency
• State-level lawsuits– individual claims filed in state courts
• Failure-to-warn claims– manufacturer didn’t disclose known risks
• Design or manufacturing defect claims– the device was inherently dangerous or poorly made

The FDA’s Role (And Its Limitations)

The FDA regulates medical devices, but devices can still go to market through fast-track pathways like 510(k) clearance meaning the device may not have been fully tested before being sold to patients.

According to the FDA MAUDE database, over 5.4 million adverse event reports have been filed regarding medical devices in the past decade. Source: FDA MAUDE Database

This creates a risk for patients, and when things go wrong, the law gives victims the right to seek compensation.

How Legal Claim Counsel Helps Medical Device Injury Victims

1. Free Case Review Compassion First, Not Pressure

When you contact us, we don’t overwhelm you with legal jargon.
We listen.

Our team reviews:

• Your medical device model and manufacturer
• Symptoms or complications you’ve experienced
• Whether you needed revision surgery or additional treatment
• Whether the FDA issued warnings or recalls for your device
• Your timeline (important for statutes of limitations)

You get honest guidance not sales pressure.

2. Deep Investigation & Evidence Building

Medical device cases are complex.
We build your case using:

• Surgical reports and operative notes
• Implant labels and device serial numbers
• Medical records and diagnostic imaging (X-rays, MRIs, CT scans)
• FDA recall data and safety communications
• Expert medical opinions from board-certified specialists

We handle the hard part so you can focus on healing.

3. Working With Top Medical & Engineering Experts

To prove your claim, we collaborate with:

• Orthopedic surgeons (for joint implants)
• Cardiologists (for heart devices)
• Biomedical engineers (to analyze device failures)
• Regulatory specialists (FDA compliance experts)
• Toxicologists (for chemical exposure cases)

These experts help show the court or manufacturer exactly how the device failed and how it harmed you.

4. Filing Claims Against Manufacturers, We Take on the Big Companies

Companies like:

• Medtronic
• Johnson & Johnson (Ethicon)
• Bard (BD)
• Stryker
• Boston Scientific
• Philips
• Zimmer Biomet

…have teams of lawyers protecting them.

But so do you because we file claims, negotiate aggressively, and prepare for litigation when necessary.

You’re not alone in this fight.

5. Securing Maximum Compensation

We pursue compensation for:

• Hospital bills and emergency care
• Revision surgeries and follow-up treatments
• Medications and long-term care
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Permanent injuries or disability
• Pain and emotional suffering
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Every injury is different, and every claim is personal we treat it that way.

Similar to our work with pharmaceutical injury cases, we fight to hold manufacturers accountable for the harm they cause.

6. No Fees Unless You Win

Legal Claim Counsel works 100% on contingency, meaning:

• No upfront fees
• No hourly billing
• No consultation charges
• You pay only if we win

This is how most reputable U.S. injury law firms work and it ensures justice is accessible to everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if my medical device qualifies for a lawsuit?

If you experienced pain, infection, device failure, or needed revision surgery, you may qualify. We review your device model, symptoms, and FDA data to confirm.

Q: How much does a medical device lawyer cost?

Nothing upfront. We only get paid if your case wins or settles.

Q: How long do I have to file a medical device claim?

Every state has different statutes of limitations typically 1-3 years. Contact us quickly so we can protect your rights.

Q: Will I need to go to court?

Most medical device cases settle. If your case requires trial, we prepare you step-by-step.

Q: Is my case confidential?

Yes. Everything you share with us remains fully confidential.

Q: What if the device was recalled after I was injured?

FDA recalls strengthen your case by proving the manufacturer knew (or should have known) about the defect.

Q: Can I sue if I signed a consent form?

Yes. Consent forms don’t waive your right to sue for defective products. You consented to the procedure, not to being harmed by a dangerous device.

Q: What if my doctor recommended the device?

Your doctor likely relied on information from the manufacturer. If that information was false or incomplete, the manufacturer is liable, not your doctor.
