Case 5
Case Type: Product Liability & Personal Injury
Client: A family who lost a loved one due to a faulty heart valve implant.
Challenge: The multi-national manufacturer denied any design defects and blamed surgical error. They had extensive resources to drag out litigation.
Our Approach: Our product liability team conducted a deep-dive investigation, partnering with leading medical experts and engineers. We uncovered internal company memos showing prior knowledge of the valve’s failure risk, which they had deliberately concealed from the public and regulators.
The Result: A $15 Million pre-trial settlement for the family, providing financial security and a sense of justice. The case also prompted a voluntary recall of the device, potentially saving future patients from harm.
The Full Story:
Our client’s family was devastated after the loss of a father and husband due to the failure of a supposedly “safe and effective” cardiac device. The manufacturer, a global conglomerate, immediately went on the defensive, refusing to accept responsibility.
We knew that taking on such a powerful entity required a meticulous and aggressive strategy. Our team left no stone unturned, deploying significant firm resources to:
Deconstruct the Defense: We systematically dismantled the “surgical error” argument through animated reconstructions and top-tier expert testimony.
Uncover the Truth: Through relentless discovery, we obtained the “smoking gun”—internal documents where company engineers explicitly discussed the flaw and management chose not to address it due to cost.
Frame the Narrative: We built a compelling case narrative not just about a defective product, but about corporate greed and the human cost of prioritizing profits over safety.
Faced with an airtight case and the prospect of a public trial, the defendant chose to settle for $15 million just weeks before the court date. This result provided our clients with the closure and resources to move forward, while also forcing a positive change in the industry.
