[Meet Our Attorneys](https://www.fuchsberg.com/about-us) ## Insulin Pump and Sensor Lawsuit Eligibility in New York Device failures do not all look the same, and a brief conversation with our lawyers is the best way to know where you stand. You may have a case if: - You used a pump or CGM sensor later included in a manufacturer recall or safety correction. - You suffered a serious insulin dosing error, whether an overdose or an interruption in delivery. - You needed hospitalization, emergency care, or ongoing treatment after the incident. - You lost a family member, and their medical records point to a device-related glycemic event. - Your injury falls within New York's filing deadline, covered below. Our team can explain what information is needed to evaluate whether the claim warrants further investigation. #cta_start ## Put Your Pump Injury in Front of Our Product Liability Team If a pump shutdown, dosing error, or sensor issue caused an emergency, contact our team before returning the device or discarding packaging and records.

[Get a Free Case Review](https://www.fuchsberg.com/contact) #cta_end ## How a Defective Insulin Pump Lawsuit Helps Injured Patients A defective insulin pump claim can help uncover why the device failed and who may be responsible. Depending on the case, our defective insulin pump law team can: - **Investigate the cause of the malfunction**, including the pump, sensor, software, infusion system, and available device data. - **Seek relevant manufacturer records through discovery**, including documents related to testing, complaints, safety issues, and known defects. - **Build evidence connecting the malfunction to the injury**, using device data, medical records, error logs, and other available documentation. - **Pursue compensation and accountability** when the evidence supports a claim against the manufacturer or another responsible party. Each case depends on the device involved, the nature of the failure, and the available medical and technical evidence. ## A Pattern of Recalls Across Major Insulin Pump and Sensor Brands Automated insulin delivery involves multiple connected technologies, and several manufacturers have faced FDA recalls and safety corrections involving insulin delivery or glucose readings in recent years: - **Tandem t:connect Mobile App:** A [2024 Class I recall](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls-and-early-alerts/tandem-diabetes-care-inc-recalls-version-27-apple-ios-tconnect-mobile-app-used-conjunction-tslim-x2) involved version 2.7 of the mobile app. Repeated app crashes could increase Bluetooth communication, drain the t:slim X2 pump battery, stop insulin delivery, and contribute to hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis. - **Tandem t:slim X2:** A later correction addressed speaker-wiring failures that could trigger a [Malfunction 16 error](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls-and-early-alerts/insulin-pump-correction-tandem-diabetes-care-issues-correction-certain-tslim-x2-insulin-pumps-due), stop insulin delivery, and interrupt CGM communication. - **Insulet Omnipod 5:** A [2026 Omnipod recall](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls-and-early-alerts/insulin-pump-recall-insulet-removes-certain-omnipod-5-pods) covered certain pods with an internal tubing defect that could let insulin leak inside the pod and lead to under-delivery, high blood sugar, or diabetic ketoacidosis. - **Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 and 3 Plus:** Certain [affected sensors](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls-and-early-alerts/glucose-monitor-sensor-recall-abbott-diabetes-care-removes-certain-freestyle-libre-3-and-freestyle) were recalled after a manufacturing issue could produce incorrect low glucose readings and affect treatment decisions. - **Medtronic MiniMed:** A [2026 FDA recall](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfRes/resCollection_2.cfm?ID=219451) affected multiple MiniMed pump series after testing identified possible insulin over- or under-delivery related to the pump’s position relative to the infusion site. Potential consequences included severe hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and diabetic ketoacidosis. Our attorneys track these recalls and can tell you whether your device or lot number is part of a documented safety action. ## Warning Signs Your Device May Have Failed You Complications can appear immediately or take time to surface as symptoms build. Watch for these signs, and reach out to our defective insulin pump lawyers if any apply to you or a loved one: - **Severe low blood sugar:** Shaking, confusion, loss of consciousness, or a seizure tied to an unexpected insulin overdose. - **Diabetic ketoacidosis or severe high blood sugar:** Nausea, vomiting, extreme thirst, or a hospital stay after your pump stopped delivering insulin as expected. - **Unexplained shutdown or error codes:** A pump that powered off, drained its battery early, or displayed a malfunction alert without warning. - **App or connectivity failures:** A companion app that repeatedly crashed, froze, or lost its link to your pump or sensor. - **A recall or safety notice:** Written correspondence from the manufacturer or the FDA naming your device's lot or model number. - **A loved one's sudden decline or death:** Medical records or an autopsy report pointing to a severe glycemic event tied to device use. If any of these match what you experienced, save your device, its packaging, and any error logs before you speak with the manufacturer. ## Legal Claims in a Defective Insulin Pump Case Depending on what caused your device to fail, our attorneys may bring one or more of the following claims on your behalf: - **Design defect:** The pump, sensor, or the software governing how they communicate was designed in a way that made a dangerous dosing error foreseeable. - **Manufacturing defect:** An individual device, such as the one you used, was flawed because of an error during production, like a torn tube or a faulty wiring component. - **Failure to warn:** The manufacturer knew or should have known about a defect and did not give patients and doctors adequate notice to act on it. - **Negligence:** The manufacturer failed to use reasonable care in designing, testing, manufacturing, or monitoring the device once it reached the market. - [**Wrongful death**](https://www.fuchsberg.com/wrongful-death)**:** The personal representative of the estate may bring a claim when a device defect contributed to the patient's death. The claims available in an insulin pump case can also depend on how the device was approved by the FDA. Federal law may limit certain state-law claims involving some federally approved medical devices, so our legal team reviews the specific pump, software version, alleged defect, FDA history, and applicable federal requirements before determining which claims may be available. Our NYC defective insulin pump lawyers decide which claims to bring, and that experience can be especially relevant in complex medical-device litigation. #cta_start ## Lost a Loved One to an Insulin Pump or Sensor Malfunction? If a device malfunction contributed to a family member's death, our attorneys can review the device, medical records, and available evidence to determine whether the estate may have a claim. Contact us for a free, confidential case review. #cta_end ## New York's Statute of Limitations for Device Injury Claims Under [CPLR 214](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/CVP/214), many New York product liability claims must be filed **within three years** of the injury. Different rules or exceptions may apply depending on the facts, including [CPLR 214-c](https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/CVP/214-C) for certain latent injuries. If a health care provider also contributed to the harm, medical malpractice deadlines may apply. Wrongful death claims generally must be filed by the personal representative within two years of death. ## Compensation Available in a New York Device Injury Claim A successful claim can cover several categories of loss, and our attorneys build each case to reflect the full financial and personal impact of the injury: - **Medical expenses**, including hospitalization, ICU care, and any ongoing treatment for lasting complications. - **Lost income**, for time away from work and any permanent reduction in your ability to earn. - **Pain and suffering**, for the physical and emotional toll of a dosing crisis or a prolonged hospital stay. - **Wrongful death damages**, which may include qualifying medical and funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and other pecuniary losses recognized under New York law. No two cases recover the same amount, and our team can give you a realistic picture only after reviewing your medical and device records. ## Why Our Law Firm Handles Your Insulin Pump Case New Yorkers choose us for reasons that go beyond a single result.

Our defective insulin pump attorneys can review the device history, medical records, error logs, and manufacturer information to determine whether a defect may have caused your injury. - Can I bring a claim if my insulin pump was never recalled? Possibly. Hospitalization can show the severity of an injury, but it is not necessarily required. The key questions include whether the device malfunctioned, whether it caused an injury, and what losses resulted. - Can an insulin pump malfunction support a claim even if I was not hospitalized? **No.** That information can help identify recalls and safety actions, but you can still request a case review if you do not have it. Packaging, app records, medical records, photos, and purchase or prescription information may help identify the device. - Do I need the pump's serial or lot number before contacting a lawyer? That does not necessarily resolve the issue. Device logs, instructions, warnings, setup records, medical evidence, and technical review may help determine whether user error, a product defect, or multiple factors contributed to the incident. - What if the manufacturer says I caused the pump malfunction? No single nationwide proceeding covers every insulin pump or CGM manufacturer. Some cases may be coordinated by product or manufacturer, while others proceed individually. - Is there an MDL or class action for defective insulin pump lawsuits? Possibly. The physical device can be useful evidence, but other records may still help, including pump or CGM data, app logs, photos, packaging, serial numbers, recall notices, and hospital records. - Can I still investigate a claim if I no longer have the insulin pump? --- Jacob D.
