Hip Replacements And Medical Device Defects Can Cause Serious Injury

Hip replacement technology has come a long way to help patients eliminate pain and improve quality of life. Unfortunately, the technology developed by some medical device manufacturers is not always safe. When it fails, patients often experience even more pain and suffering at the hands of the health care professionals and product manufacturers they trusted with their lives.

The law firm of Pfaff, Gill & Ports, Ltd., is dedicated to helping injury victims recover compensation when negligence causes them harm. A large portion of our practice involves medical malpractice and defective medical devices or products that are designed poorly or implemented improperly.

Hip replacements are just one example of the complex cases we handle. Contact our office at 312-638-2407 to set up an appointment and learn more about how we can help.
