Pharmaceutical Litigation
If you are like countless Americans, you depend on prescription or over-the-counter drugs to improve your health. As a consumer, you expect that companies have taken every step to ensure that these drugs will be safe. Unfortunately, every year thousands of people experience harmful side effects due to defective drugs that result in serious injury and even death.
Medical Devices
Medical devices such as pacemakers and prosthetics are commonly used to improve a patient’s quality of life or well-being. They are meant to help healthcare professionals diagnose, supervise, and treat medical conditions. All medical devices must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to assess their safety, effectiveness and quality before being sold to the public.

Nursing Home Litigation
Nearly 2 million elderly adults live in nursing homes throughout the U.S. A rapidly aging population means thousands more will move to adult care facilities in coming years, and it is predicted that the number of elder abuse cases will also be on the upswing.
