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.

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.

A little over a year ago, I was in a car accident of no fault of my own. Initially, the person's Insurance company was ok with me. They took liability and told me to take my car to get it fixed. They also informed me they were sending a check for the repair and gave me a rental. After three days, they called and said they were voiding the check and totaling my car! My car had been at the repair shop and was 90% ready. I was SO stressed out, crying, and had no idea what to do! I went to see Luther Easley. I explained the situation to him, and he assured me he would handle it all for me. He gave me such peace of mind immediately. I cannot express the relief I had knowing he was handling everything for me. Luther was kind, patient, and very informative of each step he was taking regarding my case. He was honest, open, and upfront about everything. He never sugar-coated anything. It wasn't about the money for me, but Luther Easley was able to make them repair my vehicle AND won a substantial settlement for me. God forbid you were ever in a car accident or any other kind of accident, but if so, I would highly recommend Luther Easley at Cole Cole Easley Sciba Law Firm. He was the best! Also, his assistant, Donna, was so nice to deal with! The entire staff was very kind and professional! I know everyone thinks lawyers are just out to take your money, but in my situation, I was so grateful to have Luther Easley as my lawyer! He DESERVED and EARNED every penny! I would have been screwed without him; for lack of better words! Thank you, Luther Easley, and kudos to you! You truly are one of the best attorneys in Victoria!Trina H.

In 2021, I was hit by an 18-wheeler, suffered a head injury, and was taken to a nearby trauma ER. As soon as I could do so, I contacted Jim Cole. Jim, supported by Will, Evan, Chuck, Luther, and all of Cole, Cole, Easley, and Sciba, provided unparalleled legal expertise, which resulted in a very favorable outcome for me. I've worked with trial lawyers on both sides of the bar, civil and criminal, all my working life. There are many good personal injury lawyers and law firms, but none finer than those at Cole, Cole, Easley, and Sciba.John R.
