Frequently Asked Questions About Medical Device Lawsuits in Utah
Got a question? We’re here to help.
-
Do I have a case if a medical device made me worse?
In Utah, claims are typically brought by surviving family members or the personal representative of the estate. We explain your rights clearly and guide you through each step.
-
Can I still sue if the device was FDA-approved?
Insurance companies are legally obligated to honor valid claims — but not all do. Bad faith refers to an insurer’s unfair or deceptive tactics to delay, underpay, or deny legitimate claims. These actions cause real financial harm to individuals already facing crisis or loss.
Our Salt Lake City bad faith insurance lawyers represent clients whose claims have been unfairly handled, helping them recover not only the benefits they were denied — but also additional damages for the insurer’s misconduct.
Common Examples of Bad Faith Practices Include:
- Unreasonably denying or delaying payment
- Misinterpreting policy language to avoid liability
- Refusing to settle valid claims
- Using fraudulent, deceptive, or coercive tactics
-
What if I no longer have the device?
We can still help — but retaining the device strengthens your case. Contact us before disposing of anything.
