Is It Enough That My Medical Device Failed?

Usually not by itself. The key question is not simply whether a device failed. A legal review examines why it failed and whether that failure may support a claim.

Medical devices range from implanted hardware to equipment used during treatment, and problems can arise before, during, or after a device reaches the patient. A device that failed, moved, fractured, or malfunctioned, or one that led to revision or removal surgery, can be a reason to ask more questions and have the medical and product evidence reviewed.
