Patrick Angel and his team were so supportive in not just the legal sense of representing me in my claim, but they also showed a sense of compassion and care for what they do; in that, they expressed concern for me when the case got hard, times got tough, and emotions ran strong. Patrick has a kind heart, but is also a gentleman as well as a professional bulldog in the courtroom. He doesn't let anyone walk over his clients, nor their integrity. He holds people accountable for their actions and makes them "face the music" so to say. If you're looking for an attorney who possesses intelligence, candor, and strength to represent you in your claim when you need someone to help support you, Patrick Angel is your man. Thanks Patrick and team! You're amazing!

If you only have to retain an attorney once in your life, you won’t do any better than Patrick Angel.  If you’ve been wronged by an employer or any person or entity, you want this brilliant man representing you. He’s the best with whom I have ever been associated.  And as an investigative journalist and court reporter for more than 25 years and a litigant three times that is a lot of lawyers! He stands head and shoulders above the rest. He and his paralegal Tina Lackner are true professionals. Patrick Angel will really listen to you. Whether you want to go to trial (and he loves the courtroom) or are seeking a just settlement, he will fight tooth and nail for you to achieve the best outcome you deserve. His word is his bond. He will be your best advocate and will help guide you through the complicated process of litigation. We sued a governmental agency over a wrongful termination and won! Seeking justice when you have been harmed or wronged is tremendously difficult task but it really makes a difference when you’ve got an angel in your corner. Thank you Patrick for everything you did for me.

Selective with which cases they take. I believe they only take cases they know they can win.
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Types of Defective Medical Devices

Although medical devices can become defective for a variety of reasons, there are several types of products that are known to frequently result in problems. When defective, these dangerous products can lead to severe, even lifelong, complications. Identifying the device responsible for your suffering is the first step to filing a claim.

Commonly defective devices include:

• Knee implants
• Hip implants
• Drug eluting stents
• Guidant defibrillators
• Kugel Mesh patch
• Pain pumps
• Transvaginal mesh

Common causes of defective medical products include poor manufacturing protocol, defective design, and inadequate marketing tactics. In any case, when your life has been affected by an ineffective medical device, you may have grounds to file for malpractice or advance an action lawsuit. Consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney in Portland to learn about your legal options at this time.

Pursuing Legal Action

Individuals who are considering filing a lawsuit regarding injury that they suffered from defective medical devices generally have two options – class action lawsuits and individual litigation. Class action lawsuits are filed for an entire group of people who have experienced injury from the same company or product. Individual litigation, also referred to as private action, is a lawsuit filed by just one person.

Class action lawsuits are beneficial because they are generally for much higher amounts of money and are effective at getting the attention of the company being sued. If your claim is not very large, a class action lawsuit may be in your best interest. When there is a limited amount of money for a recovery, a class action lawsuit splits the money up evenly amongst those who filed.

Private action, however, has the appeal of controlling the settlement amount and the legal process. Private action is also advantageous for those who have lost a great deal of money or have suffered a unique injury.

Retain an Attorney with Two Decades of Legal Experience

Filing a lawsuit on your own, whether it is class action or private action, is often confusing. If you approach a lawsuit without consulting a personal injury lawyer, you may end up with far less money than you deserve. When you work with our team at Angel Law, P.C., you can trust that we will commit ourselves to your case until it has been resolved successfully, fighting for you every step of the way.
