While it is possible to file a lawsuit against a medical device manufacturer on your own, it is generally not recommended, especially since many of these lawsuits are already being grouped into a type of legal proceeding called multidistrict litigation (MDL). These types of cases can be complex and require a deep understanding of the legal system and the specific issues involved. A qualified product liability lawyer can provide invaluable guidance and support throughout the legal process, helping to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the compensation you deserve.
