Victims of Defective Medical Devices Have Legal Options

Serving all of the Upstate New York Region

The E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy law firm regularly helps people who have been injured by defective or dangerous products. Despite federal laws and regulations designed to protect consumers, each year thousands of Americans are severely injured or killed as a result of dangerous medical products.

While any product may cause an injury, one specific product responsible for a large number of consumer injuries continues to be defective medical devices. Each year brings news of another medical product recall following news that a popular medical device has injured consumers or poses an unacceptable risk of danger to consumers. One well-known example is the FDA product recall for DePuy hip replacement devices.

If you or a family member have been injured by a dangerous or defective medical device, contact the experienced product liability lawyers at E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy today. Based in New York’s Capital District, we represent clients throughout the state of New York in product liability claims. Our legal team handles all medical device legal claims, including:

  • DePuy hip replacement devices

  • What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?
    When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
