The Da Vinci robot is a surgical device first approved for use in the United States by the FDA in 2000. Since then the use of the surgery assist robot has witnessed a meteoric rise amongst medical physicians and hospitals in numerous medical procedures including gallbladder surgery and hysterectomy. Over the past decade there have been numerous continued adverse side effects from the negligent operation or defective manufacturing of the medical device prompting dozens of product liability lawsuits across the country.
Claim against manufacturers of medical devices must be filed within the statutory time limit set by jurisdictions across the county. Failure to file a claim in a timely manner will result in the denial of a victims right to recovery under the law.
Where Can I File a Product Liability Lawsuit:
The vast majority of product liability cases dealing with defective medical devices including the Da Vinci laparoscopic system are handled in Federal Court.
