Recall notices, FDA safety alerts, and regulatory actions can impact the timing and strategy of your case.
Informed consent is your right to be fully informed about risks, alternatives, and potential outcomes before using a drug or device.
Options may include pursuing a product liability lawsuit, settling with manufacturers, or pursuing regulatory actions to support your claim.
In cases with modest damages, a focused claim or settlement may be appropriate to efficiently resolve the matter.

Eligibility for a dangerous drugs or medical devices claim depends on the defect, failure to warn, or improper manufacturing that caused your injuries. We review your medical records, product information, and recalls to determine causation and liability. In California, you may pursue claims against manufacturers, distributors, and sometimes healthcare providers who failed to warn or misrepresented risks.
California has a statute of limitations that applies to product liability and personal injury claims. It is important to consult promptly because missing deadlines can bar your case. Exceptions may apply based on your situation and discovery of harm.
Compensation may include medical expenses, future care costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. The exact amounts depend on the injury, prognosis, and impact on your life.
Many cases resolve through settlement, but some proceed to trial. Our firm prepares each case for potential court and advocates vigorously to pursue the best outcome for you.
Legal costs vary by case, but many firms work on contingency or offer upfront consultations. We discuss fees and likely costs during the initial meeting.
After hiring us, we begin a thorough evaluation, gather records, identify responsible parties, and communicate regularly with you about strategy and progress.
Your medical treatment should not be delayed or affected by your legal case. We coordinate with your providers and strive to minimize any disruption to your care.
If a device or drug remains on the market, manufacturers may still be liable for injuries caused by defects or omissions. Your case will consider all applicable sources of liability.
In some situations you may pursue claims against multiple parties, including manufacturers, distributors, and healthcare providers who contributed to the harm.
If you are outside Big Bear City, we can still help. Our California practice serves clients throughout the state, including those in neighboring communities.
