What Makes Us Stand Out?
Not all attorneys have the background to handle medical malpractice cases involving defective devices. Many law firms take on a wide range of personal injury cases, but these cases require a deep understanding of both the medical field and product liability law. That’s where our experience makes a critical difference.
Dr. Bruce Fagel is not only a licensed attorney – he is also a licensed physician. This dual background gives him a unique ability to analyze and argue complex medical cases, including those involving defective medical devices. Unlike general personal injury lawyers, Dr. Fagel has tried and settled more medical malpractice cases than any other attorney in California, recovering over $100 million for clients in a recent two-year period alone.
When you hire our firm, you’re working with a team that focuses solely on medical malpractice. We understand the tactics defense attorneys and insurance companies use to minimize claims, and we know how to fight back effectively. We have handled numerous cases involving failed implants, faulty pacemakers, defective surgical tools, and more.
Common Types of Defective Medical Devices
Medical devices can be defective due to flawed design, poor manufacturing, or insufficient warnings or instructions. Some common devices that have caused harm include:
- Hip and knee implants that wear out prematurely or break
- Pacemakers and defibrillators with faulty wiring or software
- Surgical mesh used in hernia repair or pelvic surgeries
- Insulin pumps and infusion devices that deliver incorrect dosages
- IVC filters that break or migrate, leading to serious internal damage
Each of these devices, when defective, can lead to serious injury, additional surgeries, or long-term health complications.
Holding Manufacturers Accountable
Medical device manufacturers are legally responsible for ensuring their products are safe, effective, and thoroughly tested before reaching patients. This includes meeting FDA requirements and providing clear warnings about potential risks. Unfortunately, some companies cut corners to protect profits, rushing devices to market without proper testing or ignoring early signs of defects.
Injured patients often suffer serious consequences, including permanent disability or the need for corrective surgery. At The Law Offices of Dr. Bruce G. Fagel & Associates, we work with medical and engineering experts to investigate every aspect of your case. We review product designs, testing records, and regulatory histories to identify all responsible parties – from manufacturers to healthcare providers.
Our goal is to build a strong, evidence-based claim to secure full compensation for your injuries and losses. By holding manufacturers accountable, we also push for safer standards to protect future patients.
Don’t Wait to Take Action
In California, there are strict time limits for filing medical malpractice and product liability claims. If you wait too long, you may lose your right to recover compensation. That’s why it’s crucial to speak with an experienced Los Angeles defective medical device attorney as soon as you suspect a defective device caused you harm.
