Why are there so many lawsuits against pain pump manufacturers?
Pain pumps have been used for years by physicians to effectively deliver pain medication to surgical sites, for example, after shoulder surgery. So why are so many cases suddenly being filed against the manufacturers of pain pumps?
“I think what we’re seeing is that physicians are finally seeing the relationship between pain pumps and chondrolysis – especially since the first lawsuits were filed a couple years ago,” says Frank Woodson, shareholder with Beasley Allen Law Firm. “In addition, literature is now being published about the connection between pain pumps and chondrolysis. The more information that becomes available, the more people are learning what may be causing their shoulder problems.”
