Interests Protected

Today people are more conscious of their rights, especially the consumers! In the past it happened that consumers had to accept what producers produced and they did not have enough channels through which they could ventilate their grievances. Cases worsened when they had serious injuries and even death due to the use of particular products. But now law and order has extended its arms to these cases also to protect the interest of the consumers. The situation worsens when consumers are defrauded with life saving drugs and devices which may be defective or which may have serious side effects.



Mark & Associates, P.C. is a law firm which is a representative of the consumers who have been the victims of defective medical devices, medical malpractices, dangerous drugs, denied insurance claims, defective products and toxic exposure. The recent concern is about Medtronic Defibrillator Recall. Research findings have shown that the Sprint Fidelis Defibrillator Leads are defective and have caused up to five deaths till now.

The device can sense abnormal heart rhythm and helps to restore the heart back to its normal rhythm via delivery of an electronic shock. Defective Defibrillator Leads result from a fracture in the lead and can cause delivery of unnecessary shocks or it may stop operating totally. The company has asked the doctors to stop the use of such defective leads. Thank God! The company has admitted its fault. Thanks to the presence and active participation of institutions like Mark & Associates, P.C.!
