Byrd & Byrd Secures Resolution in Serious Medical Device Malfunction Case

Attorneys Toby Byrd, Patricia Cleary, and Michael Clancy successfully negotiated a resolution of a lawsuit brought on behalf of a client who suffered a catastrophic injury during heart valve replacement surgery due to a malfunctioning infusion pump.

As a result of the device failure, the client sustained an aortic dissection, leading to permanent and life-altering consequences. He now must strictly manage his blood pressure within a narrow range and is unable to engage in physical exertion, including everyday activities such as lifting his grandchildren. The injury also caused a prolonged hospitalization and will require ongoing medical care and monitoring for the remainder of his life.

Leveraging deep litigation experience, Byrd & Byrd achieved a powerful resolution that delivered accountability and meaningful, long-term security for the client and his family.
