Chicago-Based Attorneys for Senza Spinal Cord Stimulator Lawsuits

The Nevro HF10, which was later called the HFX, which administers a 10kHz high frequency therapy, has been marketed as being superior to traditional SCS therapy for back and leg pain because the HF10 didn’t cause paresthesia, abnormal skin sensations, the way the traditional therapy did. Nevro manufacturers the Senza spinal cord stimulator system, which provides HF10 therapy to chronic pain patients. This type of therapy is different from that provided by regular spinal cord stimulators since it gives electrical pulses at a higher frequency. Plaintiffs have sued Nevro on the grounds that Senza, HF10, and HFX systems fail to provide adequate pain relief and can result in substantial complications. If you were injured by Nevro’s Senza spinal cord stimulator system, you should consult the seasoned Chicago-based product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved.

Since it originally appeared on the market, the FDA expanded its approval for the Senza system to treat diabetic neuropathy, refractory back pain, chronic neuropathy, leg pain, low backpain, and management of failed back surgery syndrome. The lawsuits against Nevro claim that there have been inadequate warnings, manufacturing defects, misrepresentations, improper device programming, and post-market reporting failures associated with the manufacturer’s products. They claim that changes implemented through the FDA’s premarket approval supplements altered the device’s components with inadequate clinical validation and disclosure. In one lawsuit, the plaintiff alleged that the spinal cord stimulators caused electrical shocks, burning pain, numbness, weakness and nerve damage. In another, the plaintiff alleged that the spinal cord stimulator caused blood clots, urinary incontinence, increased pain, muscle weakness and numbness, and that Nevro failed to warn of known or foreseeable risks of the device.

As of October 2026, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) has centralized the Nevro lawsuits under Judge Haywood S. Gilliam of the Northern District of California. The plaintiffs in these cases allege lead migration and fracture, battery and charging failures, unwanted stimulation and shocks, and need for revision surgery.

If you were injured by a Nevro spinal cord stimulator system, you may be able to recover compensation by bringing a product liability lawsuit. These are lawsuits brought when a product defect causes injuries. Actionable defects include manufacturing, design, and marketing defects. Manufacturing defects are one-off flaws that exist in one unit or a batch of units of a product. They involve a deviation from the design. Design defects, on the other hand, involve flaws in the product specifications and typically exist in every unit of the product. Marketing defects are flaws in the information provided about the product; they often include failure to warn.

In addition to proving a defect with the help of an expert, our Chicago-based attorneys will need to establish a theory of liability. Potential theories include negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty, breach of contract, and statutory violations. To establish strict liability, which is the theory that is usually most favorable to a plaintiff, our lawyers will need to prove (1) an actionable defect, (2) causation of losses, and (3) damages occasioned by those losses.

When we are able to establish liability, we can recover compensatory damages. These damages are intended to put you back in the position you would have been in had you not been injured by the Nevro spinal cord stimulator. They can include compensation for both economic and noneconomic losses such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, the costs of revision or removal surgery, other medical costs, out-of-pocket costs, lost earning capacity, and replacement services.
