Defective Medical Devices

New Orleans Product Liability Attorney: Medical Devices

The FDA routinely recalls defective medical devices because they pose a serious hazard to Americans' health. While organizations like the FDA work to protect citizens from future harm, those already harmed by a dangerous or defective medical device should seek the protection of a lawyer.

At the New Orleans area law office of Glenn C. McGovern, we represent victims of personal injury who were harmed by defective medical devices and equipment. In three decades of legal practice, we have achieved a great deal of success for personal injury victims. This includes multimillion dollar jury verdicts and settlements, which are the basis for our inclusion in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. We are also AV rated* under Martindale Hubbell's peer rating system.

New medical devices are introduced into the market at a very rapid pace. Sometimes they are not tested properly. They may cause side effects that far outweigh any potential benefits they offer. Sometimes the defects are so serious that they cause lasting damage and death.

We represent people injured by a wide range of dangerous and defective medical devices:

  • Inhalers
  • Defibrillators
  • Pacemakers made by Medtronic and Guidant
  • Catheters
  • Feeding tubes
