Cardiologists and Risk Managers Advised of Class I Recall — Indiana Injury And Family Lawyer Blog — March 7, 2011
Cardiologists are not liable for defective products that cause harm to patients. Of course, all physicians take precautions by examining technology before use. However, physicians are not engineers and cannot be responsible for identifying defects in products. By the same token, sometimes physicians do discover defects, either by viewing an abnormality in the product or seeing a patient with an unusually expected complication following use of the product.
Medical device manufacturers are responsible and can be held liable for any defective product that causes serious injury or death to an individual. So, there are lawyers who specifically handle cases involving defective medical devices.
