Medtronic Lawsuit, Medtronic Lawyer

Pulaski & Middleman - Medtronic Lawyers

Medical science has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past 20 years, and many previously-untreatable conditions can now be managed with medication and equipment. One of these innovations was the defibrillator, which is a device that's used to 'shock' a heart with an irregular beat back into its proper rhythm. These devices have literally saved and extended lives, but only when they're working properly.

That's why the news regarding Medtronic's Sprint Fidelis wire lead product, which is one of the components of the defibrillator, is so disturbing. The company has stopped selling the product altogether for now, and that's because Medtronic lawsuit lawyers around the country are beginning to hear reports of serious injuries and deaths being caused by a faulty wire in the product itself.

Why Contact a Medtronic Lawsuit Lawyer at Pulaski & Middleman?

If you have had a defibrillator implanted into your body to help control your heart, and you believe that the product used was manufactured by Medtronic, Inc., you'll need to contact a Medtronic lawsuit lawyer at Pulaski & Middleman because you have potentially been placed in an unreasonable situation of risk due to the defect that's been found in the product.

Perhaps the biggest issue with the product, including the fact that it's been linked to five deaths so far, is that Medtronic, the FDA and doctors around the country are not recommending that the lead wire in question be replaced. All of these authoritative bodies state that a replacement surgery presents too much risk, which means that continuing on with a risky product controlling your heart's rhythm is the better alternative.

Despite this recommendation, you should still seek medical attention if you are depending on this device to survive. It may not be replaced, but your best course of action in this regard is to monitor its progress closely. You owe it to yourself to gain a full understanding of what's happening inside of you, and you have already placed the highest amount of trust possible into Medtronic and this product.

As soon as you receive the medical attention you need, contact a Medtronic lawyer at Pulaski & Middleman today to schedule a free initial consultation. You have rights that need to be explored and in some cases enforced, so contact the firm today to get this process started.
