Representative Cases

Consumer & Personal Care Products

We have consulted on product liability matters involving consumer goods where scientific studies linked routine use to serious health conditions. Our role typically includes reviewing epidemiological research, organizing medical records and preparing damages analyses.

• Supported litigation against manufacturers of chemical‑based personal care products associated with reproductive cancers. Responsibilities included compiling chronologies from gynecologic and oncology records and assessing causation based on scientific literature.
• Assisted plaintiff firms in cases alleging defective hearing‑protection devices used by military personnel and industrial workers caused hearing loss and tinnitus. Duties encompassed reviewing thousands of audiology tests, summarising hearing‑loss progression and crafting deposition questions for experts.

Medical Devices & Diagnostics

Defective and unapproved medical devices often require detailed technical and clinical analysis. Our team brings together regulatory knowledge and clinical expertise to guide attorneys through these complex matters.

• Consulted on lawsuits alleging that pre‑implantation genetic tests used in fertility treatments produced high false positive rates for rare genetic conditions, leading to the unnecessary discarding of embryos. We evaluated laboratory reports and explained the limitations of such diagnostics to legal teams.
• Analyzed adverse event reports for a blood purification device granted emergency authorization for limited use during a pandemic but allegedly marketed for unapproved indications. We reviewed clinical data and regulatory filings to help determine whether patient injuries were device‑related.
• Prepared case reviews involving weight‑loss and diabetes drugs in the GLP‑1 class. These medications are widely used for type 2 diabetes and weight management, but high doses have been associated with severe gastrointestinal conditions like gastroparesis. We assessed medical records for signs of gastroparesis and evaluated causation factors, given allegations that warning labels failed to disclose these risks.
• Evaluated claims related to recalled hip implant systems that were found to increase the risk of thigh bone fractures. Our work included reviewing operative reports, imaging and follow‑up notes to document complications and liaising with orthopedic experts.

Pharmaceuticals & Corporate Misconduct

Pharmaceutical litigation and corporate fraud require an understanding of regulatory frameworks and market practices. We provide attorneys with the insight needed to uncover wrongdoing and quantify damages.

• Investigated claims of illegal kickbacks and fraudulent marketing in the pharmaceutical industry. One matter involved allegations that a company paid physicians to prescribe its medications, resulting in false claims to federal health programs.
• Assisted in antitrust actions alleging unlawful agreements among competitors to fix or stabilise prices, driving up costs for consumers. Our analysis often includes reviewing pricing data and industry communications to identify patterns of collusion.
• Supported whistleblower cases under the False Claims Act and similar statutes, where parties knowingly submitted or caused the submission of false claims to the government or avoided paying amounts owed.
• Analyzed evidence in large‑scale health‑care fraud enforcement actions. Recent cases have involved telemedicine, laboratory fraud, kickbacks and other illegal practices resulting in billions of dollars in alleged losses.

Youth, Social Media & Mental Health

Emerging litigation has focused on the impact of technology and cannabis products on adolescent mental health. Our nursing background allows us to interpret psychological evaluations and medical records for these sensitive cases.

• Worked with attorneys representing young plaintiffs who developed eating disorders and mental‑health crises after using social media platforms. Internal research revealed that certain platforms amplified body‑image issues, and numerous jurisdictions have sued over the alleged harm.
• Consulted on cases involving high‑potency THC vape products. Lawsuits allege that some brands marketed products to teenagers without warning about the risks of cannabis‑induced psychosis. We reviewed psychiatric records and scientific literature showing that heavy THC exposure during adolescence can lead to paranoia, hallucinations and other psychotic symptoms.

Abuse & Institutional Negligence

When vulnerable individuals are harmed in care facilities, attorneys rely on our nursing expertise to uncover systemic failures and advocate for accountability.

• Provided medical support in cases involving sexual abuse, physical harm and neglect at residential behavioral‑health facilities. Investigations and congressional reports have documented decades of abuse and failures to protect children. We collaborated with psychologists and social workers to assess injuries and long‑term effects.

Environmental & Occupational Exposures

Contaminants in workplaces and communities can cause devastating illnesses. We help legal teams link exposure to harm and quantify damages.

• Reviewed medical and occupational records for workers diagnosed with silicosis after exposure to respirable crystalline silica. Millions of workers are exposed to silica dust, and recent lawsuits and verdicts have highlighted the severe health effects of this fatal lung disease.
• Assisted in civil actions brought on behalf of residents exposed to lead and other contaminants in municipal drinking water systems. Hundreds of children in one community suffered elevated lead levels after officials failed to prevent contamination and misled the public about water safety.
• Supported plaintiffs affected by toxic water contamination at a military base, where decades‑long exposure to volatile organic compounds was linked to cancer, Parkinson’s disease and birth defects. Our work involved correlating exposure timelines with medical conditions and summarising scientific evidence for attorneys.
