* Perils of Preemption *

Are you aware that your ability to file a state lawsuit for harms suffered, including death, against a pharmaceutical company for failure to warn of hidden but known risks of a potential side-effect of a particular medication may be a thing of the past?

Currently, there are numerous cases in the U.S. Federal Court System that may limit your ability to pursue such a lawsuit. Post-Vioxx, the manufacturers of such medications have been actively engaged in persuading Federal Courts to recognize a legal doctrine called “Preemption” whereby drug manufacturers are considered immune from liability for harms caused by their drugs on the basis that such drugs are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Please contact your Senator and Congressman immediately and voice your opinion against preemption and in favor of maintaining your rights to bring a pharmaceutical lawsuit in state court.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one is by far one of life's more difficult experiences. When that death is a result of someone's negligent or wrongful behavior, pain is often more overwhelming. A drunk driver who kills a pedestrian, a surgeon whose negligence costs a patient their life, a manufacturer who fails to check his product's safety and leads to a consumer death - these are just a few examples of wrongful death cases.
