We focus primarly on dangerous drugs and defective medical devices. In particular, we are currently investigating and litigating the following drug and device cases:
» DePuy Hip
» IVC Filter
» Paxil
» Pradaxa
» Transvaginal Mesh
» Yaz/Yasmin/Ocella/Beyaz

As a continuation of our consumer protection watchdog activities, we regularly investigate adverse events caused by many other potentially dangerous drugs and defective medical devices. Further, Lopez McHugh and its attorneys have achieved notable success in cases involving wrongful deaths and catastrophic injuries, resulting in significant monetary recoveries for our injured clients.
Examples of these cases include:
» Construction site injuries and explosion cases
» Traumatic brain injuries caused by medical negligence,
» Catastrophic events
» Airline disasters (e.g., Pan Am Lockerbie Aircrash);
» Consumer fraud (e.g. $3.2 million dollar verdict against Citibank);
» Intentional conduct (e.g., $907 million in damages against former hippie guru Ira Einhorn, for the 1977 murder of his girlfriend, Helen “Holly” Maddux)
» Defamation (e.g., professional sports figure);
» Defective design and manufacture of automobiles and other products (e.g., Ford Pinto gas tanks; Ford Explorer rollover accidents; Firestone defective tires; Hyster forklifts; aluminum firetruck ladders; and drill press machines)
» Medical negligence: misdiagnosis; surgical negligence; and traumatic birth injuries
» Nursing home negligence and patient mistreatment
» Elder abuse
» Exposure to toxic substances (e.g., MTBE, benzene, asbestos, silica).
» Environmental damage
» Insurance bad faith
» Employment law: wrongful termination; discrimination, and wage and hour cases
