Do you think I would have a case against the makers of the Essure Device?

Question

Ok, I had my 3 children so I wanted to get my tubes tied, but my doctor suggested that we do the new procedure the "Essure Device"
well something happened and the coils moved in my body on into my tubes then other went into my uteras, needless to say it was very painful!! Turns out the only way to get these things out was to have a hystorectomy. Yes I didn't want anymore kids, yes I was ok with tyeing my tubes, no I didn't want another opperation & espacially to get everything removed. That was not what I wanted to do but what could I do I was in such pain. Now I regret it, regret ever having the procedure in the first place. When your tubes are tied they could be untied, but once your parts are gone thats it they are just gone. Now I am seeing more and more women talk about getting the Essure device and I just don't want others to go through what I had to. So should the makers of this product have to pay for the extra procedures that I had done to fix a problem that they helped make?

Answer 1

Depends on whether or not you signed a waiver. If you didn't, I'd talk to an attourney; this case is clear cut.

Answer 2

Why did they want to do this new procedure anyway? What was the point of it when the old "tied tubes" works just as well? Doctor's make mistakes, and I think you need a lawyer. Good luck.
