Pharmaceutical & Medical Injury Law Firm
We Seek Justice for Those Hurt by Unsafe Drugs and Medical Products
Whether it’s one victim or multiple victims, Kreindler & Kreindler has a successful record of prosecuting cases in which an individual has been seriously injured by over-the-counter medication, prescription drugs, or medical-related devices. Kreindler will investigate the claim and prepare for trial - focused on our goal of achieving the highest possible recovery for our client.
Often though, hundreds or even thousands of patients suffer from the same defective medication or device, and in those cases, a mass tort lawsuit or multi-district litigation may be formed. In many of these cases, Kreindler attorneys play a significant role in the investigation, discovery, and case development process.
Major tort cases may involve many law firms.
Judges often choose a Kreindler Partner to leadership positions on mass tort and MDL cases. Recently, Partner Anthony Tarricone served as Chair of the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee in the $250 million Fresenius Granuflo product liability case.
Fresenius Granuflo Dialysis Settlement
A New York Times article written by Andrew Pollock discusses the settlement made by Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s largest provider of kidney dialysis equipment and services. The agreement to pay $250 million will settle thousands of lawsuits.
The FDA ordered a Class 1 recall of Fresenius’ Naturalyte liquid and Granuflo dry acid concentrate due to extreme heart attack risk.
Kreindler worked on behalf of patients and families injured after being administered Fresenius’ Naturalyte liquid and GranuFlo dry acid concentrate during dialysis.
Benefits and Hazards of Medical Technology
Medical advances have saved lives and provided pain relief to millions of Americans. Unfortunately, the rush to remain competitive has caused some pharmaceutical and medical device companies to release new products before taking adequate safety measures to protect the public.
Although manufacturers are expected to carefully test all new pharmaceuticals and medical devices for side effects before they’re released, there may be hidden risks, especially for certain ‘off-label’ uses. Some products have been marketed, without warnings, despite problems that their makers were aware of. Also, product documentation can be dangerously unclear.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers and medical device companies are constantly releasing new products promising big results for nearly every type of medical condition. When a defective drug causes serious illness or injury, Kreindler can help.
