Peabody & Arnold works extensively in the area of drug and medical device litigation. Our lawyers for years have served as national, regional, and local counsel for medical device and pharmaceutical companies.
We have vast experience litigating negligence, breach of warranty, and consumer protection actions arising out of claims for defective design, defective manufacture, failure to warn, and other theories of liability asserted against manufacturers of drugs and medical devices. We handle arbitration, mediation, trials, and appeals in state and federal actions around the country. We are skilled at handling the complex scientific and technical issues presented in this type of complex litigation. We maintain relationships with expert witnesses in many relevant fields. We have particular experience in applying the Daubert "reliability" standard to scientific and non-scientific expert evidence.
We represent national companies directly and as assigned defense counsel. We counsel our clients on risk management and prevention.
