Why do I need an attorney for my case?
If you’ve suffered from a serious infection after a surgery where the Bair Hugger warming blanket was used, getting an attorney can be crucial to ensuring your rights are protected. A lawyer experienced in product liability cases can help determine if your infection was caused by the device and whether your case qualifies for compensation. With thousands of lawsuits already filed, a knowledgeable attorney can guide you through the complex legal process and ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate time limits.
Having an attorney is especially important because the legal battle against 3M involves highly technical arguments about how the Bair Hugger may have disrupted sterile air during surgery. Expert testimony and medical evidence are critical to proving the device caused your infection. A lawyer can gather this evidence, work with medical professionals, and present a strong case on your behalf, maximizing your chances of securing compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Additionally, 3M is a large corporation with significant legal resources, making it challenging to go up against them alone. An attorney can negotiate with 3M’s legal team and fight for a fair settlement. If your case goes to trial, having a lawyer ensures you have the representation needed to hold the company accountable for the harm caused.
What do I need to know about this lawsuit?
The Bair Hugger lawsuit is a massive legal battle involving thousands of patients who claim they suffered serious infections after surgeries where the Bair Hugger warming blanket was used. This device, intended to keep patients warm during operations, is accused of disrupting sterile air in operating rooms, allowing dangerous bacteria to enter surgical sites. Many patients, particularly those undergoing joint replacements, have developed severe infections that led to multiple surgeries, amputations, and even deaths. The stakes are high, with infections like MRSA (a resistant bacteria) being reported, leaving patients with lifelong complications.
Currently, over 7,000 lawsuits are consolidated in one of the largest product liability cases in the country. These lawsuits argue that 3M, the manufacturer, knew about the risks since 2009 but continued to market the device as safe.
Despite 3M's insistence that the Bair Hugger is safe, patients continue to report infections, especially after joint surgeries. These infections can be life-altering, leading to amputations and long hospital stays. With the litigation still active, those affected are pushing for accountability and compensation for their suffering.
