Sometimes medical

malpractice arises when a biopsy is actually performed, but the pathology lab makes a mistake in the diagnosis labeling the biopsy specimen as benign when it is in fact cancerous.

pain pump attorneys

Sacks, Leichter, Roskin’s experience in law and medicine can bring justice to victims who have been seriously injured due to improper use of pain pumps implanted after shoulder or knee repair surgery.  Manufacturers of implantable pain pumps such as I-Flow and Stryker/McKinley promoted the delivery of pain medication such as bupivacaine directly into the joint space (synovial space) rather than the traditional way of delivering the pain medication into the muscle space.  The delivery of pain medication into the joint space was not approved by the FDA.  As a result of this delivery method, some victims suffered a severe and painful injury known as chondrolysis which is a destruction of the cartilage surrounding the joint space.  In some cases, a total shoulder or knee replacement becomes necessary due to the severity of the damaged cartilage caused by the delivery of the pain medication into the joint space.

Our attorneys are all board certified physicians (MD, JDs) or doctors who each have over twenty years of experience in the practice of law and medicine. Why is this important? In a case involving pain pumps, complex medical-legal issues arise that include what medical or manufacturing errors were made and by whom, and whether these medical or manufacturing errors caused the victim to suffer significant and permanent bodily harm.   In order to properly evaluate these medical-legal issues and get you the justice you deserve, it is important to have knowledgeable attorneys who have a thorough understanding of the pain pump, pain medication, and the victim’s medical records, imaging (X-Ray, CT, MRI, Ultrasound), lab work, and pathology findings.
