Defective Medical Devices Loans

 

Medical devices should enhance your quality of life, but defective equipment can exacerbate an existing problem. Plus, once you file a medical device lawsuit, the case could take months or years to deliver financial compensation through a settlement. In the meantime, you’ll have mounting bills and expenses. 

But with pre-settlement legal funding, you don’t have to wait to receive your money. For example, a lawsuit loan for a defective medical device can help you cover your bills while awaiting compensation. Legal funding from High Rise Financial is non-recourse and comes with simple interest rates, saving you money on your final settlement.

What Makes a Medical Device Defective?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) monitors medical devices closely. Yet, despite careful oversight, defective and potentially dangerous products can still make it to the market. 

A product liability claim could arise from mistakes the manufacturer made at any stage in production. For example, you or a loved one may have been injured because of errors in:

• Design: Before making the device, the manufacturer goes through a rigorous design process, tweaking and testing it to see if it works. If a flaw makes it through this stage, it will affect every unit subsequently produced.
• Manufacturing: Problems like human error or low-quality materials can lead to production-related flaws. These defects usually affect a limited number of units rather than the whole line.
• Marketing: When a manufacturer markets their devices, they must provide instructions on proper usage and warn about potential dangers. If they neglect this step or provide incorrect information, the device may not work properly.

If a defective medical device harmed you and you have legal representation, you may qualify for pre-settlement funding. The money you receive now can keep you financially solvent while your attorney negotiates and fights your legal battle for you.

Consequences of a Faulty Medical Device

If you were injured by a faulty medical device, you likely underwent significant medical treatment to correct or repair the damage. Unfortunately, medical treatments and surgeries to repair or remove a defective device implant can be expensive. 

Because of this hardship, you or your loved one may have a valuable claim against the manufacturer or distributor of that device. Additionally, any applicable insurance companies providing coverage may also owe you compensation. 

If you qualify for legal funding for your defective medical device lawsuit, you can access up to 20% of your case’s value right away. The more you expect to receive in compensation for your losses, the more money you can access from litigation financing.
