It takes more than just an understanding of the law to handle prescription drug and medical device cases. In order to be a leader in the area of pharmaceutical law, a law firm must also understand the science. The Hollis Law Firm takes pride in knowing not only the legal aspects of each case, but the science behind it.
The Hollis Law Firm stays up-to-date on the latest scientific literature relating to each case type and other potentially harmful drugs and devices currently on the market.
We are ready to listen to you. Our philosophy is that we are your guides. After we take the time to understand your needs, we will provide you with the education you need to make the decisions. You will make the decisions and we will listen. We will take action based on the choices you make. We are here to represent you.
Multidistrict Litigations: Because court decisions have restricted the use of class actions in the drug and medical device area, your case most likely will not be part of a class action lawsuit. Your claim may be pursued alongside many similar claims as part of a mass tort, but the facts of your case and your specific injuries will be evaluated on an individual basis. Because dangerous drug and defective product lawsuits often involve a large number of cases with common issues, your case may likely be transferred to a single court district as part of a multidistrict litigation (MDL).
An MDL works well for cases in which one or more common issues are seen. For example, while one hundred people may have taken a certain drug and suffered injuries, the details of their timelines and injuries may vary.
The federal court system utilizes multidistrict litigations (MDL) to better manage cases involving issues affecting a large number of people, including dangerous drugs and defective products. These civil cases are consolidated into one district court which handles the discovery and pretrial proceedings for each case involved.
Congress’ goal for creating the MDL system was to offer efficiency through better coordination of complex litigations filed in various districts throughout the country. By consolidating cases with common issues into one district, those involved save time and money in the overall process. Because the facts of each case vary, there is no definitive determination as to how each litigation will progress. While we will work towards the best outcome possible for your case, there is no guarantee of future results.
Victims calling in to report how they were injured by a prescription drug or medical device is how we learn what to investigate next. If you or a loved one has suffered injuries related to a harmful drug or medical device, we encourage you to contact the Hollis Law Firm so we can accurately review your potential claim.
