Wrongful Death From Medical Device Failure
There are countless types of medical devices that have been developed in the recent past that have contributed to diagnosing, assisting, and analyzing patients. These can be life-changing and help people in many ways, however there is also a risk that they can be defective. Recent statistics studies that the Implant Files, a group of investigative journalists, uncovered that over a decade, there were, “more than 1.7 million injuries and nearly 83,000 deaths linked to a problematic medical device”. These are significant numbers and should be a warning to people about the possibility that the device-makers can neglect to do their jobs.
You should feel safer and reassured when you’re using a medical device. Instead, there is a risk that patients face when they must use one. The duty and expectation of medical professionals and those that are educated and trained in making these devices is to build them so that they can last, they will not have an adverse reaction to its usage, and more things to keep the person safe. When this duty is breached and medical devices are failing on large scales for its users, then people are not only getting hurt, but some are dependent enough to where they tragically die from the medical device failure.
A wrongful death case is based on a person in a certain position that owes a duty to another person. When the first person breaches their duty and acts negligently or intentionally to cause the death of the other, then they can be sued for wrongfully causing their death. This is an especially serious case when it comes to medical devices. Medical professionals are held to a higher standard of care than other types of relationships. The stakes are higher, therefore, they must be extra careful with their actions. A medical device failure is simply unacceptable, especially in the devastating event that it takes the life of a loved one. You deserve peace of mind and to bring justice to the other side.
