Medical Mistakes and Defective Products

We put a lot of trust in our doctors and healthcare system, and don’t like to think they cause harm. But when something goes wrong, it is critical to report the errors and for those injured to be compensated. It is just as important to keep the same errors from happening to others. Some medical mistakes are caused by healthcare professionals. Others are caused by defective medical devices or drugs. Garcia & Karam are known as defective medical equipment and prescription drugs lawyers  for the successful cases.   They has handled all types of medical liability cases against major corporations including doctors, hospitals, prescription drug manufacturers, medical equipment manufacturers, nursing homes and pharmacies.  T

Discovering the truth

Too often, medical errors are covered up. Patient records can be “misplaced” and medical professionals don’t want to tell. Our attorneys and legal staff have deep experience in medical cases. We examine medical records, consult medical experts and question the medical professionals involved.

Lost Wages and Future Medical Costs

When we investigate a case, we look not only at the lost wages and current medical expense, but also at future medical costs. What may seem like a big settlement or award may actually only cover expenses for a few years.

List of Defective Drugs and Medical Equipment

For the most recent list of all defective drugs and medical devices–including a list of generic drugs that are defective–please follow this link to the Federal Drug Administration (FDA).  http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/default.htm The FDA does not have the staff to investigate all defective medical products and sometimes products are released to the market before they are fully analyzed for potential harm.  Unfortunately, the only way they find out is when someone is injured or killed and an defective medical equipment or drugs lawyer brings the problem to light.  If you suspect an injury was caused by a defective product, we will investigate the problem to see if you have a case.
