Defective Medical Device – Palm Beach County, FL
Date of Incident: 2022
Result: $335,000 Settlement. Significant recovery in a defective medical device case.
Case Summary:
In 2022, our client purchased a medical device from a medical supply store in Palm Beach County. After using the device, our client suffered serious injuries and discovered that the product had been sold without an essential safety component.
The medical supply store denied responsibility and claimed that our client’s injuries resulted from misuse of the device. Faced with these allegations, our client retained Bodden & Bennett Law Group to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Outcome:
After completing a thorough investigation, our attorneys filed a lawsuit against the medical supply store. During the litigation process, multiple depositions were taken, and our legal team uncovered deceptive testimony provided by one of the store’s employees. That testimony became key evidence in establishing the store’s negligence.
As a result of these efforts, the case was resolved with a $335,000 settlement, providing our client with fair compensation for the significant injuries suffered.
Legal Takeaway:
Businesses that sell medical devices have a responsibility to provide products that are complete and safe for their intended use. When that duty is breached and someone is injured, they can be held accountable.
