Drug and Medical Device Litigation

There is little doubt that pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers are frequent "targets" in litigation. So when plaintiffs pin a bulls-eye on the backs of these manufacturers, it benefits clients when our team has extensive experience with, and knows the science behind, numerous drugs and medical devices. We have experience in the operating room and hospital setting, and we speak the language of medical experts and other health care providers. Such knowledge and experience enhances our ability to help the client reach the correct conclusion in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

We work in partnership with our clients to understand safety and effectiveness issues involved in each case and the science behind it.When the time comes to tell the company story, we work with the company witnesses to effectively communicate the product, its function and use, and its compliance with federal regulations and industry standards. Whether a PMA or 510k medical device product, or whether a brand name or generic drug, we have been asked to, and are equipped to, provide effective assistance in numerous jurisdictions.

Our team has won numerous summary judgments and dismissals on behalf of a medical device manufacturer in state and federal jurisdictions across the country. We have also obtained dismissals with prejudice in matters alleging defects in the manufacture of drugs. Our strategy is to vigorously defend the product and stand ready to head to trial, if necessary.
