Immediately seek medical treatment and testing for any symptoms you’re currently experiencing. The earlier you can reach a doctor, the better. Keep copies of your medical records as well.
Report your symptoms accurately, and ensure they are listed on your medical documentation. You may need tests or images to fully document your condition.
Contact a defective medical devices attorney. They will evaluate your case and determine whether similar cases have resulted from the same medical device.
Avoid talking to insurers, lawyers representing the device company, or healthcare providers when possible. Look to advice from your attorney when making a statement or answering questions that could affect the outcome of your case. Remember that you are not required to talk to anyone until you are ready.
