Deffective Medical Device Lawyer Houston
Houston personal injury lawyer, Charles J. Argento assists Texas residents with lawsuits and damage claims after a serious injury or death resulting from the use of a harmful Medical Device they presumed was safe. All Medical Devices we purchase are required by law to meet certain safety guidelines and standards for use. When these Medical Devices fail to meet these standards and an injury results, you have the right to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages and long-term care.
Defective or dangerous injuries from Medical Devices generally result from flaws (intentional or not) that arise during the testing, design, manufacture and distribution of a consumer drug.
While many Houston harmful Medical device lawyers may claim to take dangerous Medical device cases, few of them have the legal, technical and financial resources to effectively investigate the circumstances and identify all responsible parties down the chain of distribution.

Argento, we are experienced Texas trial attorneys who have negotiated and litigated personal injury lawsuits at every level of the state and federal courts related to:
