When used effectively, medical devices and implants can treat health problems and help people live better lives. When defective devices are used in patients, serious injury and death can occur. Our Fayetteville implant attorneys protect the rights of people who have been injured by defective medical devices.
The Odom Law Firm helps injured patients recover the compensation they deserve. We have been handling product liability claims, including medical device claims, since 1982. Known for providing quality legal representation, our Northwest Arkansas defective medical device lawyers are dedicated to protecting the rights of our clients.
The Role of the Food and Drug Administration
As skilled attorneys, we are knowledgeable about the process of approving a medical device or implant. A division of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) called the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is responsible for testing and approving medical devices.
If the CDRH finds a medical device to be defective, it will not be approved. In some cases, the FDA will issue a recall or request a manufacturer recall.
Recently, several medical devices have received a lot of attention in the medical and legal communities due to their defects, including DePuy Pinnacle Hip Replacement hardware and Zimmer Hip and Knee Replacement hardware.
The Odom Law Firm is committed to holding negligent manufacturers accountable for the harmful products they produce. We are dedicated to arriving at fair compensation for our injured clients through negotiation and litigation.
