Grant & Eisenhofer Attorneys Provide Guidance on Medical Monitoring Claims

In the July 2018 issue of Trial magazine, Grant & Eisenhofer principal Beth Graham and associate Stephanie Riley weigh in on factors to consider when filing a medical monitoring claim. Individuals who have had defective medical devices implanted, but not removed, may be at risk for injury and eligible to file a medical monitoring claim. Eight states and the District of Columbia allow these types of claims. According to Graham and Riley, in many cases, lawyers will seek to certify a class consisting of a large group of claimants eligible to receive compensation. For a case to become class certified, claimants must have the same device and “typical” or sufficiently identical injury claims.
