Pain Pump Victims Lawyer
When you have suffered a shoulder or joint injury, the last thing you expect is to be further injured by the device that is supposed to ease your pain. However, when marketed the wrong way, a pain pump can do just that. At the Portland, Oregon law offices of Williams Love O'Leary & Powers, we represent pain pump victims throughout the country. Dedicated to getting and keeping dangerous medical products off the market for over thirty years, we can help you take action. The companies that made the pain pumps irresponsibly marketed these devices for use in the joint space following shoulder surgery, even though the FDA refused to approve this use!

From athletes to construction workers, all types of people suffer shoulder injuries, and anyone who needs corrective surgery could end up being a pain pump victim. The devices are inserted into the surgical area to pump anesthetics and keep patients from needing additional pain killers. However, the companies that made and sold these devices told surgeons to use the pain pumps in the joint space. As a result, the medications in the pain pumps often destroyed the cartilage in the joint area, forcing the bones to grind against one another.
From severe pain to permanent loss of mobility, the results of pain pump injuries can alter a person's life forever. Many of the victims are young athletes, and other people who tend to be physically active. If you are a construction worker or someone who is called upon to do physical work at your job, suffering from chondrolysis could keep you from working.
People find themselves in need of pain pumps for all types of surgical procedures. For many young athletes, a manageable injury could become a serious problem, effectively putting an end to a career in sports. We protect the rights of athletes and other active people who received pain pumps after the following surgical procedures:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Rotator Cuff Injury
- “SLAP” Repair
- Arthroscopic Surgery
