Victoria Defective Medical Device Attorneys
Located in Victoria. Practicing State & Nationwide.
There is no room for error in the design and manufacturing of medical devices. While makers of medical devices employ a number of quality control measures to ensure the safety of their products, it’s all the more surprising when they fail and injure patients that use them.
At the law office of Cole, Cole, Easley & Sciba, P.C., our lawyers investigate the causes of medical device failures, analyzing corroded or defective parts while subpoenaing records and information from manufacturing facilities. In many cases, a sterile environment with properly trained employees is necessary to maintain the integrity of medical devices. Identifying failures and quality control problems often shed light on why a medical device was defective or prone to failure.
To schedule a free consultation and learn how we can help you, contact our Victoria defective medical device attorneys at the law office of Cole, Cole, Easley & Sciba, P.C. today.

Foreseeability – Why Manufacturers Can Be Held Liable
Even if a manufacturer complies with product safety requirements in the manufacture of their product, they are still liable for design flaws and issues related to “foreseeability.” In essence, “foreseeability” relates to dangers and hazards a reasonable person could be expected to foresee given the circumstances and use of a product. For example, a paint manufacturer should foresee the need to place warning labels on their product given the possibility that someone might not realize it is flammable, unsafe to consume, or an irritant to the skin.
In cases involving defective medical devices, the issue may be one of foreseeability: should a manufacturer have realized dangers associated with the design of cables, batteries, circuitry, materials, or fail-safe options? In order to answer these questions, our lawyers consult design engineers, chemists, materials experts, and others in order to expose negligence on the part of medical device manufacturers.
If you have questions regarding the legal options available to injury victims of defective medical devices, contact Cole, Cole, Easley & Sciba, P.C. today or call (361) 678-3233 and schedule a free consultation to discuss your case. Se habla español.

I have gone through hell in the family court system in Texas against the father of my children, who is an attorney in our community with abundant legal resources. After years of fighting for my children, I was unjustly put in criminal contempt for not bringing my daughter to soccer practice despite following the custody agreement and the advice of my attorneys at the time. I asked about appeal options, and while the attorneys felt my case was justified, they said it would be a waste of my time and money and that only two percent of cases win on appeal. However, as a mother and a teacher, I wanted to clear my reputation and fight for what’s right. I hired a law firm to file a mandamus with the Court of Appeals, but the court denied our petition. Not wanting to give up, I decided to go to the Texas Supreme Court. After consulting with a few attorneys who were very discouraging and didn’t want to take my case, one referred me to Attorney Sam Cole. Sam told me my case was a long shot but agreed I was right and would fight for me if I wanted to proceed. He worked with me on my case and on a payment plan that worked for my situation. He always explained everything and answered questions with patience and understanding. He thoroughly researched all that had happened and the law that surrounded the issue. Sam treated me as a person and not just a paycheck, and had I lost in the Supreme Court, I would still be writing this review. However, the Supreme Court did rule in our favor, and after more than 2.5 years of this hanging over my head, I am completely vindicated. I hope the outcome of my case will help prevent this from happening to others in the future.Pamela J.
