A dangerous drugs or medical device claim involves proving that a product was defectively designed, improperly labeled, or marketed without adequate warnings, and that those defects caused harm.
California law allows individuals to pursue compensation for medical costs, lost income, and other damages when manufacturers fail to meet safety standards.
Dangerous drug and medical device cases focus on product liability—holding creators and distributors responsible for injuries arising from defective products and insufficient warnings.
Key elements include defect, causation, and damages, followed by evidence gathering, expert consultation, filing, and negotiation or trial to recover compensation.
Below are common terms used in dangerous drugs and medical devices cases to help you understand the process.

A formal process to remove or correct a defective device from the market to protect patients.
A flaw in design, manufacturing, or labeling that makes a product unsafe for its intended use.
