Prescription implants and surgical aids are supposed to restore health – yet design flaws, shoddy manufacturing, or missing warnings can turn them into ticking time bombs. At The Johnson Law Firm, we pursue full compensation for injuries caused by defective devices such as hernia mesh patches, metal-on-metal hips, pelvic mesh, and chemical hair relaxers.

Thousands of people suffer in silence after device injuries.

“We’ve helped thousands of clients hold defective drug and medical device manufacturers accountable and get the compensation they deserve for the injuries they have suffered – and we’re ready to fight for you.”

Defective Medical Device Lawsuits We Handle

Defective devices – from hernia mesh to hip replacements – can cause life-altering injuries. Below are the specific Defective Medical Device Lawsuits we handle nationwide.

Originally marketed to make hernia repair easier, Bard’s Composix, Ventralex, and Ventrio mesh have been linked to mesh migration, bowel perforation, obstruction, and sepsis. Victims may qualify for compensation covering corrective surgeries, hospital stays, and long-term medical care.

Johnson & Johnson’s ASR XL Acetabular & ASR Resurfacing Systems shed toxic cobalt-chromium debris, leading to tissue death and painful revision surgery. Two global settlements top $4 billion; late-manifesting cases may still qualify in MDL 2197. FDA Safety Communication: DePuy ASR Hip Recall

Ethicon, Boston Scientific, and Bard rushed polypropylene pelvic mesh to market without adequate testing, leading to mesh erosion, chronic pelvic pain, organ damage, and nerve injury. Clients can recover damages for corrective surgeries, medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress.

How Defective Medical Device Lawsuits Work

When medical devices ship under a “substantial equivalence” (510(k)) approval – without full clinical trials – hidden flaws often only surface in the real world.

Our Six-Step Roadmap to Holding Manufacturers Accountable

  • Post-Market Defect Discovery: We monitor FDA adverse-event reports, surgeon feedback, and recall notices to spot emerging device failures.
  • MDL & Mass-Tort Coordination: We centralize similar cases in a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) or other appropriate court for efficient discovery while preserving each client’s individual claim.
  • Expert Analysis & Proof: Biomechanical engineers, implant specialists, and surgeons analyze your records and test data to link the defect to your injury.
  • Damage Assessment & Compensation: We build your case for revision surgery costs, ongoing medical treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering—and punitive damages when warranted.
  • Statute of Limitations & Timely Filing: We track deadlines in every jurisdiction and get your case filed appropriately.
  • Bellwether Trials & Settlement Leverage: Early “bellwether” verdicts set the tone for global settlements. Our team has litigated device MDLs nationwide since 1993 to maximize your recovery.

Whether your injury involves hernia mesh, hip implants, or knee devices, our Defective Medical Device Lawsuits team will fight to secure justice and maximum compensation. Read our FAQs or start your free case review today.

Frequently Asked Questions About Defective Medical Device Lawsuits

Any implant or device that caused unexpected injuries due to design defects, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings may be the basis for a Defective Medical Device Lawsuit – for example, hernia mesh erosion, metal-on-metal hip failures, or faulty knee implants.

We review your medical records and device model to match your injury to known device failure modes. If the evidence shows a defect or missing warning caused your harm, you have grounds for a Defective Medical Device Lawsuit.

You may recover damages for past and future medical bills, corrective surgeries, lost wages, pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, and – if misconduct is egregious – punitive damages.

Yes. Most states impose a 2- to 3-year statute of limitations from the date you discover – or reasonably should have discovered – your device injury, not the original implant date. We track deadlines closely so you never miss your right to sue.

No. You don’t need explant surgery to file. However, revision procedures can strengthen your case by documenting the defect and preserving crucial evidence. We coordinate device preservation and expert analysis.

We handle these cases on a contingency-fee basis, which means you pay nothing up front. Our fee comes as a percentage of the recovery, and we cover all upfront costs unless we win.

Yes. Many device cases consolidate into Multidistrict Litigations (MDLs) or class actions for efficiency and shared evidence. We file in the right venue, manage your individual claim, and leverage MDL outcomes to maximize your recovery.
