How Long Do You Have to File a Defective Medical Device Recall Claim?

The statute of limitations in these claims is different in every state. How much time you’ll have to file a claim will depend on your state’s laws. It will also be determined based on how long it’s been since your injury happened or since it was discovered. 

How long it should have reasonably taken you to discover the injury may also be taken into account.

How Is Pain and Suffering Determined for a Defective Medical Device Case?

Unlike economic losses such as medical bills and lost wages that you can put a specific dollar amount on, pain and suffering is more subjective. The courts and insurers determine this amount based upon the seriousness of your accident, injuries, and damages. The more devastating your accident, the higher your pain and suffering damages will be.
