Vero Beach Philips CPAP Lawsuit Lawyer

If you suffered respiratory issues, organ damage, or other medical complications from a Philips continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine, we could help you pursue compensation. 

Our Vero Beach Philips CPAP lawsuit lawyers can investigate your case, review your medical documents, and file your lawsuit.

The FDA Issued a Recall on Philips CPAPs That Could Affect Your Case

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalled several Philips products, including their CPAP, over concerns with its polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam. Studies show that Philips CPAP users may inhale or swallow this toxic carcinogen, which can cause many life-threatening health issues.

Some complications include:

• Organ damage, especially involving the kidney, liver, and lungs
• Irritation to the skin, eyes, nose, and respiratory tract
• Inflammation
• Headaches 
• Asthma
• Hypersensitivity
• Nausea and vomiting

The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine also reports instances of upper airway irritation, rhinitis and sinusitis, coughs, chest pressure, and dizziness. 

You May Stand to Recover Compensation for Your CPAP-Related Losses

After suffering injuries due to a Philips CPAP, you could pursue compensation for the following damages, among others:

• Medical treatment, including hospitalization, surgeries, diagnostic testing, medicine, and doctor’s visits
• Ongoing medical care, including medical ventilation devices, rehabilitation, and in-home aid
• Lost wages, benefits, and bonuses if you missed work while tending to your injuries
• Reduced earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to work or earning your pre-injury income
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Loss of quality of life in the case of permanent impairment
• Pain and suffering

We can calculate your losses, so you know how much you should receive from a settlement or verdict. Our team will leave no stone unturned when fighting for fair compensation. 

Wrongful Death Damages

No one should lose a family member to a defective medical device. If your loved one succumbed to injuries after using Philips CPAP, we could file a wrongful death lawsuit on your behalf. 

You may recover:

• Your loved one’s medical expenses
• Your loved one’s pain and suffering before their passing
• Funeral service expenses
• Burial expenses
• Lost wages from time you took off work to care for your loved one
• Loss of inheritance for the income your loved one provided
• Loss of consortium for the companionship your loved one provided

While you honor your Vero Beach loved one’s memory, our Philips CPAP lawyers can handle the legal process. A settlement or verdict could help you cope in their absence.
