It’s not easy getting a drug or device to market. From concept to launch, it takes years of work and the involvement of countless professionals from the engineering, medicine and regulatory disciplines. If the product becomes the focus of a product liability action, both sides of the litigation must rely on expertise from these disciplines to support or defend the case. Indeed, most cases require expert testimony to pursue a personal injury claim, and a plaintiff lacking expert testimony might see the case dismissed on summary judgment.

Webinars and virtual chapter meetings are open to all members and non-members.
