Defective Medical Implants and Unsafe Pharmaceuticals

Foley & Small handles claims involving pharmaceuticals, both prescription and over-the-counter medications, that are proven to have severe adverse side effects. These would include claims against manufacturers of drugs such as Ephedra, OxyContin and Phen-Fen. Doug Small and Ed Foley also pursue claims against medical implant manufacturers where the implants have proven to be defective. These claims have involved a variety of prosthetic and implant devices including implants of the temporomandibular joint, cardiac pace makers and defibrillators and various orthopedic implant devices. Foley & Small employs the services of experts in biomechanical engineering, in metallurgy, plastics and other materials along with chemists, biochemists, toxicologists and others needed for the proper evaluation and presentations of the case.
