Introduction

The power morcellator injury attorneys at the Drug Law Center are taking up new claims from women who have been diagnosed with various forms of cancer after undergoing any medical procedure that required the use of a power morcellator. It has been found that while these devices allow surgeons to perform operations with smaller incisions, they can also spread cancer tissue and make it far more likely for women who have undiagnosed cancer to suffer from advanced stage forms of cancer which may have otherwise been treated or prevented in an appropriate time frame.

If you or a loved one has been injured, we would like to hear your story and have the opportunity to fight on your behalf.

Attorneys Explain Mechanics and Complications Related to Bair Huggar Warming Blankets

The Bair Hugger infection attorneys at the Drug Law Center routinely work with clients who developed infections linked to the use of the Bair Hugger therapy blankets often used during surgical procedures to regulate patients’ body temperatures. Research has linked the use of these devices with an increased risk of infection and disease because they may pull pathogens from the floor and distribute them onto the patient’s opened body. If you underwent surgery and one of these warming blankets was used during your procedure, you may be entitled to compensation for any of the injuries you suffered as a result.

The IVC (Inferior Vena Cava) filter injury attorneys at the Drug Law Center are taking on claims on behalf of the many people who were injured due to complications stemming from removable IVC filters. These devices are intended to capture and break apart blood clots in the leg so that they do not migrate to major organs such as the heart or lungs, but they have been linked to serious internal injuries. In some cases, doctors were unable to remove the devices safely due to migration or fracturing of the device. If you have been injured, we would like to learn more about your story.

We are committed to fighting for justice on behalf of the countless number of women who have been injured needlessly by these products.
