Arkansas Defective Medical Device Injury Attorney
Sometimes people are negligently injured as a result of medical treatment, but the injury is not the fault of the doctor, nurse, hospital or any known medical care provider. Unfortunately, patients can be seriously injured as a result of a flaw in a medical device. This is usually because of the way the device was manufactured or designed.
Cases involving defective medical device injuries are based on negligence and product liability laws, and are most often filed against manufacturers of the following types of faulty medical devices:
- Prescription drugs
- Heart valves and pacemakers
- Implantable contraceptives and intrauterine devices
- Prostheses
- Catheters
- Aneurysm grafts
- Silicone implants
- Surgical and physical therapy equipment
- Respiratory devices
- Contact lenses and dental care products
- Laser and orthopedic tools
Arkansas Product Liability Laws
Under Arkansas’ product liability laws, both the manufacturer and the seller of a defective product are strictly liable for injuries caused by a product which is proven to be “unreasonably dangerous.” Negligence claims in medical device lawsuits typically focus on whether the manufacturer has taken reasonable care in developing, designing, manufacturing and marketing the particular device.
