When someone is injured by a medical device, they may need to speak with a medical device lawyer. A medical device lawyer can help the injured person file a product liability claim against the manufacturer of the device. In order to bring a successful product liability claim, the injured person must prove that the device was defective and that the defect caused their injuries.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for regulating medical devices in the United States. The FDA has a number of regulations in place to ensure that medical devices are safe and effective. These regulations include requirements for manufacturers to conduct clinical trials and to submit data to the FDA before marketing their devices.
