Medical Product Liability

Our attorneys assist manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and their insurers in the defense of medical product liability litigation and in the coordination of multiple claims litigation on both a regional and national basis.

We counsel clients on developments in product liability legislation, tort reform and significant case law developments. The types of medical products we have defended include:

IV Pump for heart medication

Heart lung bypass machine failure

Heart catheter

Pedicle screws

Tubing in liposuction procedures

Cardiac rotoblator for coronary artery occlusion

Cetacaine spray

Malfunctioning heart valve

Ephedra - Epinephrine

Nutraceutical matters

Oxygen machine

Skin-Cap psoriasis treatment

ICDs

Drugs used in clinical trials

Bone plates

Ventilator malfunction

Off-label use of medications


In addition to our experience handling these matters, we have attorneys who are also trained medical professionals, including a registered nurse and a medical technologist, which gives us the benefit of having immediate access to medical knowledge necessary to properly defend medical product liability cases.

Attorneys work closely with other Querrey & Harrow teams on such matters as intellectual property, indemnification provisions, vendor endorsements and insurance coverage issues.
