IVC Filter Lawsuits – Protecting Your Health and Rights with Herrman & Herrman Personal Injury Lawyers

If you’ve heard about lawsuits over IVC filter complications, you may be wondering what these cases involve and, more importantly, what you should do if you or a loved one has an IVC filter. In this guide, weā€™ll cover the essential information about IVC filters, their associated risks, and how Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C. is here to protect your health, rights, and future in the face of these serious issues.

What is an IVC Filter, and Why Are Lawsuits Being Filed?

An inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a medical device implanted into a large vein to prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs, which can be life-threatening. Unfortunately, in recent years, IVC filters have been linked to severe complications and potentially life-altering injuries. In fact, the FDA warned doctors back in 2010 about the significant risks associated with these devices. Some IVC filters have been shown to fracture, causing parts of the filter to travel through the body, which can lead to dangerous and painful injuries, including heart and lung perforation, excessive bleeding around the heart, accelerated heartbeat, and even puncturing of the vena cava itself.

These design flaws have left many individuals with critical health issuesā€”and lawsuits are being filed to seek justice. For those suffering, a lawsuit can offer a path to compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and the physical and emotional toll these defective devices have caused.
