Experienced Louisiana Personal Injury Attorneys

By the time medical devices are available for public use, we generally presume that they've been fully tested and deemed safe. Far too frequently, this is not the case. Medical devices are pushed upon an unsuspecting public before the full effects are known or understood.

At the Bohrer Law Firm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, we protect the rights and interests of people who are injured as the result of defective medical devices. If you or someone you love has been harmed by malfunctioning Medtronic Sprint Fidelis Leads, come to our offices today to discuss your potential legal claims.

Medtronic Sprint Fidelis Defibrillator Leads connect Medtronic defibrillators to the heart of the defibrillator recipient, serving as an essential component of the overall device.

Unfortunately, the Medtronic Sprint Fidelis Leads have been malfunctioning, fracturing at a rate greater than expected or acceptable. When the leads fracture, they can produce a severe, painful electric shock. In addition, a fractured lead may interfere with the defibrillator's ability to send a necessary shock to the heart, resulting in death.

Medtronic ultimately decided to recall these defibrillator leads in 2007, but by then it was too late to protect many people. Hundreds of thousands of the Medtronic Sprint Fidelis Leads have been implanted worldwide. Furthermore, Medtronic is discouraging replacement of the leads, because removing leads that have already been implanted can require expensive, dangerous surgery.

At the Bohrer Law Firm, our lawyers care committed to protecting the rights and interests of injured people. If you or someone you love has suffered an injury as the result of a defective medical device, come to our offices today.
