Medtronic News
Read excerpts from the latest
news covering the Medtronic recall and lawsuits:
Lieff Cabraser had
been investigating patient complaints
concerning the Medtronic heart lead prior
to the recall announced by Medtronic. On
the same day as the recall, heart patients
nationwide represented by Lieff Cabraser
and co-counsel filed separate personal
injury and class action lawsuits against
Medtronic.
A personal injury action is a
lawsuit brought by an individual who has suffered
physical or mental harm as the result of the
wrongful conduct of another. A wrongful death
action is a lawsuit brought on behalf of a
deceased person's family or beneficiaries that
alleges the death was attributable to the willful
or negligent act of another.
The laws of most states allow
persons injured by the negligence of another
to file a personal injury or wrongful death
lawsuit against those responsible for the
accident. If the personal injury was caused
by a defective product, such as a prescription
drug recalled due to dangerous side effects,
the injured person may be eligible to file
a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the
product.
