Medical Products Liability

Oregon Defective Medical Products Lawyers

Contact the Eugene medical product liability attorneys at Johnson, Clifton, Larson & Schaller, P.C. for advice and representation concerning injuries, illnesses, or fatalities caused by defective or negligently manufactured, prescribed, or implanted medical products, devices, or drugs. This field of tort litigation straddles the boundary between medical malpractice and products liability, and can sometimes involve class actions or federal multidistrict litigation, which adds an additional layer of procedural complexity to an already challenging field.

Our experience with dangerous and defective medical product claims goes back more than 20 years to the national mass tort litigation of the 1980’s involving serious injuries caused by intrauterine devices and toxic shock responses to certain tampons.

Not only did we achieve favorable results for our clients on those claims - including independent lawsuits on behalf of plaintiffs who chose to opt out of class actions - but we continue to represent people who have been harmed by devices or drugs such as:

• Silicone breast implants
• Arthroscopic pumps
• Percutaneous closure devices
• Knee implants
• Prescription drugs and vaccines

Thanks to the closely integrated complex litigation support resources and networks that we've built up over decades, the defective medical device attorneys of Johnson, Clifton, Larson & Schaller, P.C. have the ability to investigate and develop all of the medical, engineering, biomechanical, and pathological aspects of your claim. At the same time, we keep relentless pressure on the defendants to disclose information and come forward with constructive settlement proposals.

When necessary, we always welcome the opportunity to try your case to a jury. The question of whether or not to settle, however, is always sensitive to the facts of a particular case and your particular situation and objectives. Our clients appreciate our capacity to try cases according to the merits of their claim, not the limits of their attorney's technical, logistical, or financial resources.

For additional information about our ability to represent your or another's interests in a complex personal injury case related to negligence and defective medical products, contact the Oregon medical product liability attorneys at our firm for a free consultation.
