Medical device injury claims often stall because key information disappears or becomes harder to obtain over time—especially when you’re focused on getting well.
Before you speak with insurers or anyone representing the hospital/device company, do these practical steps:
- Request copies of your device-related records: operative reports, implant/procedure notes, discharge summaries, and follow-up visit documentation.
- Write down the timeline while it’s fresh (implant date, symptoms onset, ER/urgent care visits, and any revision surgeries).
- Save device identifiers you can find (device name, model, lot/batch numbers, packaging labels, or paperwork from the clinic/hospital).
- Keep communications you received—messages about recalls, safety communications, or instructions you were given after complications.
