New Mexico Medical Device Injury Lawyers
Seek Compensation for Injuries from Defective Medical Devices in NM
A medical device is any item that is used to correct a medical condition, manage an injury, or increase the ability of a person who is living with a health issue. A medical device may be an internal device, such as a hip replacement, or a device that is used outside of the body such as a wheelchair. Medical devices also include items that are used by doctors and during hospital stays.
Unfortunately, medical devices do not always work in the way they are supposed to. When an error is made in the design, manufacturing, or marketing of a medical device, the item is considered defective. A defect can cause injury to users. People who use medical devices rely on functioning items to maintain their health, and any errors can jeopardize their wellbeing.
We represent patients who have been harmed by a defective medical device, as well as the families of victims. Contact the New Mexico defective medical device lawyers of Lyons & Simmons, LLP to get started on your case.

Justice Served:
Record Verdicts Achieved
-
For their successful pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, and Stephen Higdon have been awarded the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s prestigious 2021 John Howie Award. The honor is based on the trial team’s work representing an Alabama mother who lost three children in a tragic West Texas highway accident.

In a case that drew national attention, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, P. Wes Black, and Michael Wozniak won a record-setting $109.5 million verdict against CPS Energy after proving the company’s failure to maintain its gas system led to a devastating explosion and fire. The result not only delivered justice for the victims — it set a new standard for accountability in the utility industry.

The firm secured a landmark jury verdict for a client whose life was permanently changed after systemic hospital failures caused a nearly five-hour delay in emergency surgery, resulting in catastrophic paralysis. The case brought to light serious breaches of hospital policy and was recognized by Courtroom View Network as one of the nation’s top verdicts of 2022.
Common Defective Medical Devices in New Mexico
It is possible for any medical device to be defective if it is designed or manufactured in error. There are some types of medical devices that are more frequently discovered to be defective than others, and are often the subject of injury cases.
Some medical devices that have recently been labeled as potentially defective and are the subject of current litigation include:
- Hip replacements
- Knee replacements
- Certain birth control implants/intrauterine devices (IUDs)
- Hernia mesh
This list is only a sample of defective medical devices. The listed devices are only products that are currently known to be defective — it’s possible that a medical device you use is defective but is not the subject of current ligation.
