New York Defective Medical Device Attorneys
Medical devices are designed to improve quality of life—but when these products are defective, the results can be devastating. At Curan & Ahlers, our New York defective medical device lawyers fight for individuals injured by unsafe medical products, holding manufacturers accountable for negligence, poor design, and lack of adequate warnings.
In modern times, we put a lot of trust into the companies that manufacture medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Usually they have been recommended to us by a medical expert. Many of them also widely promote themselves in a variety of ways. They promise us that they have done the research and tested their products.
Unfortunately, sometimes these drug and medical device manufacturers have released products that are not actually safe. Sometimes, these defective medical devices lead to injuries, health problems, or even death.
Examples of defective medical devices or drugs include:
- Defective hip replacements
- Defective knee replacements
- Defective prescription drugs or pharmaceuticals that did not work as intended and caused harm
- Defective pacemakers
- Leaking or ruptured breast implants
If you or a loved one has suffered due to a defective medical device, the attorneys at Curan & Ahlers are here to help. We’ve been helping New York residents to recover fair compensation for their injuries since 1986. Contact us today for a free case consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

A defective medical device is a medical product that causes injury because of a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to provide adequate warnings about risks. Examples include defective implants, faulty surgical devices, and dangerous medical equipment used during treatment.
What types of medical devices are commonly involved in lawsuits?
Common defective medical device claims involve hip and knee replacements, pacemakers, surgical mesh, breast implants, insulin pumps, heart stents, and other implantable devices. When these products malfunction or were improperly designed, they can cause serious injuries.
Who can be held responsible for injuries caused by a defective medical device?
Several parties may be liable, including the manufacturer of the device, distributors, medical device companies, and in some cases the surgeon or hospital involved in the implantation or use of the device.
What injuries can result from defective medical devices?
Patients may experience device failure, infections, internal bleeding, organ damage, chronic pain, or the need for revision surgery to remove or replace the device. In severe cases, defective medical devices can cause permanent disability or death.
What compensation can victims recover in a defective medical device lawsuit?
Victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, additional surgeries, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the injuries caused by the defective device.
How long do I have to file a defective medical device claim in New York?
In many cases, defective medical device claims fall under product liability law, which generally allows three years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. However, deadlines may vary depending on the circumstances of the case.
