A dangerous drug or defective medical device claim involves harm caused by a medication, device, or its labeling, where safety flaws or improper use contributed to injury.
Key elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages, along with a thorough investigation, expert opinions, and documentation.
Common terms you may encounter include product liability, failure to warn, design defect, and manufacturing defect.
Liability asserted against manufacturers or sellers when a dangerous drug or medical device injures someone due to a defect in design, manufacture, or labeling.
A design defect makes a product unreasonably dangerous even when manufactured correctly.
Inadequate labeling or safety warnings that fail to inform users of risks can create liability.
A manufacturing defect occurs when a product differs from its approved design and harms users.
In these cases, options include product liability lawsuits, regulatory actions, and negotiated settlements. Each path has different timelines and requirements.
