Cetrulo & Capone LLP has extensive experience in the defense of products liability cases and has developed a number of specialties within that litigation umbrella.
We have represented medical device manufacturers and, in particular, have been actively involved in the defense of cases involving silicone gel breast implants. In the breast implant mass tort litigation, we have been named as Northeast Regional Trial Counsel as well as members of the National Defense Trial Team. This work has involved the coordination of pre-trial and trial strategy, preparation of fact and expert witnesses and document control and production nationwide. We have worked with experts from around the country in numerous fields, including rheumatology, immunology, neurology, epidemiology, biomaterials and materials science and toxicology. In our roles as regional and national counsel, our attorneys work closely with defense counsel around the country and in-house counsel in these endeavors.
This experience, along with the representation of other medical device manufacturers, provides a broad base of expertise beneficial to clients with respect to product liability litigation and issues ranging from package inserts and labeling, product design, FDA regulation and compliance and proactive prevention of future litigation.
