“I think it is irresponsible to try and extend liability beyond those areas that are scientifically justifiable and defensible, and good lawyers will stay within those parameters. In that fashion, you do your client a service, and you do the legal profession a service.” – Mike Gallagher
Mr. Gallagher is currently representing plaintiffs in cases pertaining to such drugs as Trasylol, Vioxx, Zyprexa and Seroquel and the firm also regularly monitors the pharmaceutical industry to identify unreasonably dangerous drugs that are removed, or have the potential to be removed, from the market.
