You are not responsible for medical device failure, especially if it was due to a defect. The manufacturers of defective medical products are typically responsible parties. Your surgeon may also be to blame if he/she implanted the device wrong or made mistakes during your revision surgery. In fact, many surgeons lack the training to do a successful revision surgery. Through your personal injury attorney, you can file a claim or lawsuit to obtain compensation for any and all damages you suffered. Most law firms offer free consultations and free case evaluations.
