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.

Associates, P.C. has been serving clients

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.
