If you’ve been injured by a defective medical device, you may be entitled to file a claim or join a class-action lawsuit to collect compensation. Medical device manufacturers are required to thoroughly test their products before bringing them to the market.
Our defective medical device attorneys in Tucson take a strong stance against companies that cut corners and sell poorly tested products. If a product liability lawyer from Zanes Law finds that your medical device caused you harm, they’ll help you pursue damages from the appropriate manufacturer or company.
Types of Medical Devices That a Tucson Attorney Can File a Claim for
Medical devices can be used for a variety of different purposes, but they can also cause serious injury if they aren’t designed or produced correctly. Our defective medical device lawyers in Tucson are all too familiar with the wide array of products that patients have suffered from.
They’ll be able to help you recover from injuries caused by any of the following devices:
Contraceptive Devices
Devices like the Paragard copper intrauterine device (IUD) can cause significant side effects and health risks. If you’ve been injured by an IUD or another contraceptive device, an attorney from our firm can help you join a mass tort or file a personal claim against the at-fault company.
Implants
Faulty surgical implants have the potential to cause serious health effects. If you’ve sustained injury due to a hernia mesh or another type of implant, a lawyer can help you pursue compensation for your losses.
A number of implants and meshes have been brought up in lawsuits, so joining the effort to hold negligent pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers liable shouldn’t be too difficult. Reach out to an attorney today to see what your legal options are.
Stents
Defective stents can cause serious health problems like re-clotting and narrowing of arteries. If you believe your stent is having a negative impact on your health, you deserve to receive compensation for the suffering you’ve been put through.
Defibrillators
Defibrillators are used to administer a shock to restart the heart of someone who is experiencing cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, a defibrillator can actually cause adverse effects when its “lead” is defective.
The lead is a wire designed to transfer energy from the device to the patient’s heart. If a patient’s defibrillator has a faulty lead, it could cause electric shock, heart palpitations, infections, and even death. If you or a loved one was injured by a defective defibrillator, an attorney can help you file a claim.

How a Defective Medical Device Lawyer Can Help Your Case
Pursuing a medical device claim or lawsuit on your own is highly inadvisable. Such cases require the experience of a seasoned attorney with access to a variety of resources. If one of our attorneys in Tucson takes on your defective medical device claim, they’ll perform the following services:
- Hire experts: To prove that a medical device is defective and demonstrate how it injured you, your attorney will need to hire an expert. A medical device expert will be able to examine the device in question and find evidence that proves it was poorly designed or manufactured.
- Interview witnesses: Your lawyer will interview anyone who witnessed the effects that your device had on you. They’ll speak with doctors, nurses, and possibly your family members to secure the testimony they need. Your attorney may also interview employees of the company that produced the device.
- Conduct an investigation: Your defective medical device attorney will gather every piece of evidence related to your case. They’ll gather and analyze your treatment records, medical bills, and any other documents they need to build a solid claim.
- Fight for your compensation: Once your attorney has found the evidence they need to prove that you were injured by your medical device, they’ll pursue maximum compensation for your losses.

Statute of Limitations for Product Liability Cases in Tucson
If you believe that your medical device is causing you harm, hiring an attorney soon will help you meet important, state-imposed filing requirements. If your attorney advises you to file a lawsuit, you’ll need to comply with A.R.S. §§ 12-55. It states that all product liability suits must be filed within two years, or plaintiffs will be barred from receiving compensation.
Your two-year timeframe will start on the day that you are diagnosed with a health issue or injury caused by a faulty device.
