Product Liability Claims Involving Faulty Medical Devices

My mother underwent a heart surgery at a well-known heart hospital. A stent was inserted in her coronary arteries. Two days after the surgery, she complained of pain and excess bleeding. After investigation, it was found that the pain and bleeding was because of a defective stent that was inserted. Who can be sued for this?

If your loved one suffered injuries because of a faulty medical device, you may potentially sue the following parties:

·         Manufacturer of the faulty medical device

·         Testing laboratory that performed tests on the medical device

·         Medical sales representative who made recommendations about the medical device to doctors and hospitals

·         The doctor, if he/she failed to warn of potential dangers or instructions regarding the usage of the device
