Three major medical device companies (Gunther, C.R. Bard, and Cook Medical) are facing significant lawsuits for the defective inferior vena cava (IVC) implants they manufactured. The devices were intended to mitigate blood clots, but have had dire consequences for their recipients. Expert Boca Raton product liability attorneys estimate monetary damage pools for the subsequent lawsuits to range in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
The injuries these IVC devices have caused range from deep tissue damage to pulmonary embolisms, and even death. Manufacturers are responsible under product liability laws for the safety of the products sold. They at least have a duty to warn consumers about product dangers. Our Boca Raton defective medical device attorneys say manufacturers fell short by not warning patients about the dangers of the IVC implants.
Liability for victims in these cases depends on the extent of the harm that they have suffered. Individual plaintiffs that are younger professionals that die as the result of the IVC device are legally entitled to more damages than plaintiffs that are older and only suffer tissue damage from their devices. Even minor damage can lead to significant settlement for plaintiffs. Potential plaintiffs should speak with an experienced Boca Raton products liability attorney to learn about their rights and legal options regarding their IVC device.
There are nearly a quarter million of these implants that are put into peoples’ bodies each year. Gunther, C.R. Bard and Cook Medical have hundreds of thousands of potential plaintiffs that could recover settlements from these manufacturers. The potential liability for these companies could reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to the victims that have been harmed by these defective devices.

“Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case.The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say ‘Real Tough Lawyers,’ they mean it.”
“I am so thankful for EVERYONE, the entire staff at Osborne & Francis Law, for mentoring me through the mediation process with my hip replacement failures. I didn't realize how MUCH pressure they relieved me of by helping me deal with the reality of this traumatic time in my life, as it was OVER so quickly with a positive result. My family is grateful to have their mom HAPPY & FOCUSED on the future, rather than worrying over what happened in the past! FAST FORWARD, we are LIVING LIFE to the fullest once again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer/ firm — everything was done professionally exactly how I wanted. Due to COVID my personal attorney Mr. Garcia was still able to make things work in a timely manner and he never made me feel like he wasn’t working. Overall I’m happy with how my case turned out and I would recommend him and this law firm to anyone. 100% satisfied.”
Dennis and the other Osborne & Francis staff were amazing! Our case was HUGE and required tender loving care. Everyone on our case did their part by putting all the puzzle pieces together. We were given step by step updates and put at ease when our nerves got the best of us. For every inquiry we made we received a timely response...You are appreciated!
Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.
"Best personal injury attorney around, I could not be happier! I was seriously injured in a car accident and Osborne and Francis helped me through the entire process. I was blown away by how knowledgeable the staff and attorneys are at this incredible law firm. I would not hesitate to recommend this law firm to friends and family!"
