Dangerous drugs and medical devices refer to products that cause harm or fail to perform as intended, resulting in injuries or adverse health effects. Responsibility can lie with designers, manufacturers, distributors, and medical professionals.
Core elements include product liability, negligence, and, in some instances, strict liability. The process involves case evaluation, evidence gathering, expert analysis, negotiations, and, when needed, litigation to pursue fair compensation.
Below are common terms to help you understand these cases and the language used in discussing safety, liability, and compensation.

The right of a patient to understand risks, benefits, and alternatives before agreeing to treatment or use of a medical product.
