New York Breast Implant Lawyer

Protect Your Rights with a Skilled New York Breast Implant Lawyer

 

Certain breast implants—such as Allergan’s BIOCELL textured implants—have been linked to serious complications, including a rare cancer known as BIA-ALCL (Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma). As a result, thousands of women across the country have filed lawsuits against manufacturers, surgeons, and medical providers for implant-related injuries and illnesses.

​

If you’ve suffered pain, illness, or complications after breast implant surgery, you may be entitled to compensation through a product liability or medical malpractice claim. At Curan & Ahlers, LLP, our experienced New York breast implant lawyers are here to fight for your rights and pursue the justice you deserve.

​

Why Hire a New York Breast Implant Lawyer?

 

Defective product cases necessitate a certain level of skill and legal knowledge. Because the cases are complex and necessitate extensive investigation, a law firm will require significant resources to manage the case properly. They know the state and federal laws and can easily navigate the legal process, so they can help you get compensation. 

 

Additionally, a law firm will work with your insurance company and medical professionals to ensure you get reparations for your implant troubles. When you hire our legal team, you can expect us to consult medical and industry experts, research the device history, and identify the responsible party for the defective product. We will file a claim or lawsuit on your behalf and help to get fair compensation through documentation and proof of allegations. 

 

Types of Breast Implant Lawsuits

 

Your lawyer will help you to determine what type of lawsuit best matches your case and create a plan of action. Lawsuits for breast implants can fall under:

 

Defective Implants Cases place the blame on the implant specifically. If the implants are at fault, the case is against the company who created the implant. 

 

Breach of Warranty Cases blames either the manufacturers or retailers' representation of safety or the product for the problems. If the breast implants leak, rupture, or become deformed, this is considered a breach of warranty. 

 

Malpractice Cases are filed against a surgeon for negligence in implanting the breast implant. If someone other than the implant's manufacturer is held liable for a defective consumer product like a breast implant, that person must be either a seller or a distributor of the product.

 

Negligence Cases claim the injuries come from the carelessness in the product's design or manufacturing process. Negligence can occur in many aspects of product development, including development, machine maintenance, fabrication, and plausible uses, or even releasing the product to the mainstream too quickly.

 

Steps Involved in a Breast Implant Lawsuit

 

When you work with an attorney from Curan and Ahlers, we will make the process of obtaining compensation as stress-free as possible for you. We will start by creating a timeline of your implant problems, obtaining medical records, and reviewing your case with medical experts. Next, we will discuss filing steps and litigation strategies before filing the lawsuit. Meanwhile, we will contact your insurance company for fair compensation. If we proceed, we will seek compensation for damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering on your behalf. 

 

What to Look for in a New York Breast Implant Lawyer

 

Victims of breast implant health conditions need a lawyer with experience in the correct areas. A law firm should offer decades of experience fighting defective implants, malpractice, negligence, and breach of warranty cases. A skilled and knowledgeable class action attorney knows state and federal law and can assist you in determining who is responsible for your injuries and how to proceed with legal action against them. The right experienced attorney will represent you in court and work to obtain a monetary award appropriate for your specific needs.
