With enormous pride, Shaheen & Gordon announces that the First Circuit Court of appeals affirmed the largest jury verdict in NH history – 21.6 Million!!! Our firm represented Karen Bartlett in a federal law suit alleging design defect and product liability claims against Mutual Pharmaceutical, a drug company that manufactured a pain killer known as Sulindac. Ms. Bartlett was prescribed the drug for shoulder pain, but it caused Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, resulting in burning of 65% of her body surface, permanent near blindness, esophageal burns, lung damage and permanent disfigurement. Our personal injury attoneys won a jury verdict in September 2010, the pharmaceutical company appealed and, this week, the appeal court confirmed the victory. This result demonstrates both the importance of winning a case at trial and preserving that victory on appeal – a credit to our New Hampshire personal injury attorneys. Congratulations to injury attorney Christine Craig and our entire team of personal injury and product liability lawyers for this victory.
At Shaheen & Gordon, We Thrive on Winning.
Whether doing battle in court or working quietly behind the scenes, we stand up to protect you and your rights and provide you with the support and guidance you need.
