Suing Breast Implant Manufacturers for Harmful Defects
You may have a lawsuit on your hands if you have suffered as a result of a faulty breast implant. When implants rupture, leak, or collapse, it can create a number of painful, immediate symptoms, as well as other long-term injuries and a number of sizeable financial damages for those affected. In addition to your demonstrable injury and loss, the manufacturer or designer may be liable for your damages if any of the following are true:
- The breast implant was in dangerous or questionable condition when the manufacturer sold it.
- The breast implant was intended for implantation in the condition in which it was sold.
- The breast implant came with a warranty and did not meet the terms therein.
If you have been harmed, injured, or experienced notable financial loss as a result of a faulty breast implant, it is important to secure legal representation as soon as possible in order to begin building a strong case. Our team at Hutton & Hutton Law Firm, LLC is here to help.
