Medical Devices Lawyers in Buffalo, NY

When a medical device causes harm, injury, or even death because it is defective, has failed, or is incorrectly implanted, the client may know something has gone terribly wrong, but it’s often difficult to know what to do to best rectify the issue. Lipsitz Green Scime Cambria’s medical devices lawyers, based in Buffalo, NY, have extensive experience in this complex area of law and routinely guide clients through the process of seeking just compensation.

In-depth understanding of medical device failures

The skilled and caring attorneys at Lipsitz Green are well-versed in medical malpractice cases involving the full range of medical devices—including defibrillators, stents, replacement hips and knees, implants, surgical mesh, and more—and all related medical procedures and conditions. Our medical devices team is adept at evaluating whether medical negligence occurred or whether there was a defect in the design, manufacturing, or use of the product.
