We place a great deal of trust in medical equipment that's designed to help us. Unfortunately, that equipment sometimes fails. This causes pain and discomfort when we’re most in need of support. When this happens with something as important as a defibrillator, it can have a serious impact on your life.
If you or a loved one has been harmed by a faulty medical device, our team of expert solicitors could help you to claim compensation. Contact our team of expert lawyers to start your claim.
We've investigated many cases of faulty pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillator’s (ICD) not working as they should. The device's failings can result in unnecessary shocks, causing discomfort to the person wearing it. Or it could fail to give a lifesaving shock if an irregular heart rhythm develops.
We've helped our clients to claim compensation after having been fitted with a faulty defibrillator. The types of devices that we’ve dealt with in faulty defibrillator claims include:
- Sprint Fidelis leads (Medtronic)
- Riata and Riata ST leads (St Jude Medical)
- Bipolar QuickSite and QuickFlex (St Jude Medical)
- Ellipse ICD (St. Jude Medical).
If the type of device you or a loved one was injured by isn’t on that list, contact our team to see if you can claim.
Most of the faulty defibrillator claims we handle are made using a no win no fee agreement. This means there’s no financial risk to you if your claim isn’t successful.
