766 law firms worldwide practising Drugs & Medical Devices. Narrow down by city to find a firm near you.
Drug and medical device lawyers represent patients injured by medicines, vaccines, implants and other health products. Typical cases involve undisclosed side effects, contaminated batches, failed hip or breast implants, faulty pacemakers, surgical mesh and insulin pumps that malfunctioned. On the other side, some firms advise manufacturers on regulatory approval, recalls and liability exposure.
Rules are national, although medical device regulation is broadly harmonised within the EU. Claims may rest on product liability, negligence, failure to warn or breach of contract. Many countries have special regimes for medicines, such as Germany with its separate drug liability law, and some run no fault compensation funds for vaccine injuries. Mass claims are common in this field, either as class actions or as coordinated individual cases.
Fee models range from hourly rates to contingency arrangements. The American style percentage fee is widely used for drug and device claims in the United States, but continental Europe generally bans pure contingency, so group litigation often depends on third party funding or insurance. Time limits deserve attention. Many systems count the limitation period from when you knew the injury and its likely cause, and some add a long stop of ten years from when the product was sold.
Ask whether the firm is already handling claims about the same medicine or device, since joining that work saves time and cost. Ask what medical records they need and whether they work with independent doctors. Keep the packaging, batch numbers and any explanted device.
