Pharmaceutical Industry Litigation
The firm represents patients and state governments in actions against the Pharmaceutical Industry. We are presently involved in actions against major pharmaceutical companies for overcharging State Medicaid agencies and State Insurance Plans by reporting false average wholesale prices (“AWP”) of their drugs. Thousands of Americans die every year from prescription drug reactions, some of which could have been prevented with proper research and warning. We understand pharmacology and what constitutes proper warnings and labeling.
Medical Malpractice and Nursing Home Litigation
Medical negligence or "malpractice" occurs when a physician or healthcare provider either fails to do something that should have been done or does something that should not have been done which results in injury or death. Doctors and other health-care providers must follow certain standards when caring for patients. Our medical malpractice trial lawyers understand medicine and science, which are critical to prosecuting these types of cases. Our attorneys are skilled in dealing with medical expert witnesses and the medical causation issues typically present in these cases. Based upon our experience and resources, we can help clients determine whether or not malpractice has occurred when someone is injured as a result of negligence or misconduct of individuals in the dental, medical, surgical, hospital, and other health professional fields.
