Medical devices are meant to improve lives — not endanger them. If you or a loved one has suffered serious health complications due to a defective implant, surgical device, or treatment tool, you may be entitled to significant compensation. At Caputo & Van Der Walde – Injury & Accident Attorneys, our seasoned defective medical device lawyers in San Jose are prepared to fight for your rights and hold negligent manufacturers accountable.
Of all the products you should be able to trust, medical devices are near the top of the list. Unfortunately, medical devices are prone to manufacturer error, just like any other product. Unlike any other product, however, these devices can have a deep impact on your health and cause life-threatening complications.
If you or a loved one was injured or killed by a defective medical device in the San Jose area, our attorneys at Caputo and Van Der Walde – Injury & Accident Attorneys are here to help.
Any device that enters your body in a medical context can be defective. If you develop an injury or illness after receiving an implant or surgical procedure, the device may be to blame. Contact your doctor as soon as you notice any adverse side effects and call an San Jose defective medical device attorney if you believe the device is responsible for your ailment.
If your claim involves one of the following devices or procedures, contact our firm right away:
Sadly, the FDA does not always issue recalls prudently. All too often, many patients suffer harm from defective medical devices before they’re ever removed from the market. If you have been hurt, you may be able to hold the manufacturer accountable. If a product has not yet been taken off the market, your case could also be a deciding factor in preventing illnesses and injuries in the future.
Additionally, filing a claim can help you cover the costs of treating your ailment. Any damages you are awarded in a product liability lawsuit can help cover:
Most manufacturers have no intention of harming consumers and simply hadn’t discovered their products’ defects at the time they were released to the public. However, if a manufacturer was found intentionally omitting a danger, or otherwise prioritize profits over patient health, you may also be awarded punitive damages. Punitive damages are designed to punish the manufacturer and discourage other entities from behaving similarly.

With over 85 years of collective legal experience, a history of success, and hundreds of satisfied clients throughout the San Jose area, we are more than equipped to handle your lawsuit.
