There are currently a number of complaints against the manufacturer, Intuitive Surgical Inc., alleging defective design of these devices which has caused serious injury to patients. If you require a medical expert to assist in your case, Physicians Medical Review offers comprehensive medical legal consulting for all aspects of litigation, from the initial screening all the way to resolution.
Common professionals consulted for da Vinci cases include:
