All medical procedures carry risk, especially those procedures involving the human heart. Most complications from cardiac procedures do not result in medical malpractice lawsuits. However, there are instances where a pacemaker injury occurs that is the result of negligence. When negligence plays a role in a patient’s injury or death, the physician, pacemaker manufacturer, or another party may be held liable.
Pacemakers are inserted surgically. These small electronic devices are implanted in the patient’s chest near the heart to help regulate the patient’s heartbeat. Usually, the device is placed below the clavicle. Then, wired leads are run through the body into the heart.
A pacemaker is installed on a patient with an irregular heartbeat. When the device notices the heart is out of rhythm, it sends gentle electrical currents to the heart to correct it.
These devices are used for multiple cardiac conditions, including slow heartbeats, too fast or too slow heartbeat, or when the electrical signals to the heart are interrupted. Most of these conditions are treated successfully with pacemaker implantation.
There are common risks associated with pacemaker implantations that are not negligence. Instead, these risks are conveyed to the patient prior to the procedure, and the physician obtains consent from the patient. This signals that the patient understands the risks associated with the procedure and agrees to take on those risks.
Some common complications associated with the implantation include infection, bleeding, nerve complications, pneumothorax, and a risk for lung puncture. These complications can develop without malpractice.
There are instances where a pacemaker malfunction may be an issue of malpractice. In these cases, there are several common types of lawsuits:
If you have suffered an injury due to a malfunctioning pacemaker or because of improper implantation, you could qualify for compensation. Speak with a personal injury attorney first to explore your options and have your case assessed for free.

I was rear-ended by a semi-truck on my way to work. I was transported to the hospital and my car was totaled. In the aftermath, Dan Petrich and Anna Schmidt from Malman Law helped me get set up with physical therapy and negotiated with the insurance companies to make sure the resulting settlement would cover my medical bills and a rental car until I could get a new car. I would highly recommend their services.
