Waukesha Defective Medical Device Lawyer

Medical devices are designed to improve lives, support recovery, and manage health conditions. But when these products are flawed or unsafe, they can cause devastating injuries or even wrongful death. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a faulty implant, prosthetic, or medical tool, you may have the right to pursue legal action. At the Law Offices of Gary S. Greenberg, our experienced product liability attorneys are here to fight for your right to justice and financial recovery.

Our firm handles complex product liability cases involving defective products across Waukesha and the entire state of Wisconsin. We understand the serious harm that can result from a failed device, and we’re prepared to hold negligent manufacturers and distributors accountable under Wisconsin law.

Understanding Product Liability and Defective Medical Devices

When a medical device fails due to a manufacturing or design defect, or if consumers aren’t properly warned of its risks, the injured person may file a product liability claim. These claims are based on strict liability, meaning the manufacturer can be held responsible for the harm caused by the device, even if they didn’t act with intent.

Common examples of defective medical devices include pacemakers, hip or knee replacements, surgical mesh, insulin pumps, and other implanted devices. These products often require invasive surgery to install and can lead to long-term complications when they malfunction.

In Wisconsin, the law protects consumers through well-established personal injury law principles. Victims of device-related injuries have a right to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Our attorneys help determine the best course of legal action based on your specific injury, the defect involved, and available evidence.

Types of Defects in Medical Devices

Defective medical devices can fail in several ways. The most common product liability claims are based on:

• Design defects, where the product is inherently dangerous due to its structure
  
• Manufacturing defects, where something goes wrong during production
  
• Failure to warn, where the device lacks proper labeling or usage instructions
  

Regardless of the type of defect, our legal team will work to prove that the device was unreasonably dangerous for its reasonably foreseeable use. We gather evidence, consult experts, and build strong cases on behalf of injured clients across Wisconsin.

How Defective Devices Affect Lives

The injuries caused by defective medical devices are often severe and life-altering. Victims may suffer infections, internal injuries, long-term disability, or the need for revision surgeries. In the most tragic cases, defective devices can result in the wrongful death of a loved one.

Many victims face significant financial and emotional burdens. Mounting medical expenses, physical pain, and lost wages create long-term harm for both the injured person and their family. Our law firm advocates aggressively on behalf of clients to ensure they receive the financial compensation they need to heal and move forward.
