Are there currently any class-action medical device recall lawsuits?
In class-action and multi-district litigation lawsuits, dozens or hundreds of cases from around the country are brought under the jurisdiction of a single court. This court could be anywhere in the country—but no matter where you are, McIntyre Law’s experienced attorneys will provide dedicated, caring service. And our founder, Noble McIntyre, is always just a phone call away.
What to Know Before You File a Lawsuit
If you or a loved one has suffered because of a defective product, you should be thinking about filing a lawsuit. But you shouldn’t be thinking about doing it on your own. Remember, you may need to acquire medical records, accident reports, death records, plus fill out other legal paperwork such as subpoenas and court petitions. You’ll need to find expert witnesses to testify about the product in question. You’ll be signing up to argue against experienced lawyers and experts from insurance companies or big corporations, and you’ll need an experienced lawyer to get the compensation you may be entitled to.
McIntyre Law levels the playing field, putting our experienced, strategic attorneys on your side.
The Statute of Limitations for Medical Device Recall Lawsuits
Once you suffer harm from a medical device, the clock starts ticking on your right to file a lawsuit. In some states, the statute of limitations is as little as one year. That’s why, if you feel you may be suffering harm from a medical device, you should contact an experienced attorney right away.
What is a contingency fee?
When a lawyer works on a “contingency fee” basis, they’re agreeing to accept a fixed percentage of any monetary rewards from your lawsuit to cover their legal fees. If there are no rewards from the case, you don’t pay the lawyer. We get paid if, and only if, you do.
What compensation can I get from a defective medical device lawsuit?
Courts recognize that suffering victims deserve monetary compensation for both money they have lost—like paying medical bills—and pain they have suffered. Among the types of compensation you could be eligible for are:
- Cash awards
- Reimbursement of current medical expenses
- Subsequent medical procedures
- Lost wages

What causes a medical device recall?
Medical device companies have a duty to ensure that products are fully tested and safe for surgical use. They also must fully disclose all risks associated with the use of their products. A patient can’t make an informed decision about surgical options without full and complete disclosure about any medical devices. What if the manufacturer doesn’t have all of the information, either? Sometimes, a medical device recall happens because the company rushed the product to market, rather than fully researching it to make sure it’s safe. Of course, the manufacturers want to maximize their profits, but sometimes that comes at a cost to your health.
