New York Defective Drug & Medical Device Lawyers

At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, we believe that drug, device and product manufacturers have a duty to protect patients—not endanger them. Unfortunately, when companies cut corners during development or fail to disclose known risks, the consequences can be life-altering. Even with FDA oversight, dangerous products often reach the market and cause serious injuries or death. When that happens, legal action becomes a critical tool for holding corporations accountable and helping victims seek compensation.

Holding Corporations and Companies Accountable

When powerful companies release unsafe products into the market, the consequences can be devastating. At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro (SSKB), we represent individuals harmed by defective drugs and medical devices in lawsuits that seek to hold negligent pharmacutical companies and corporations accountable—and help victims recover financial compensation for their injuries, suffering, and long-term medical needs.

What Are Defective Drug & Medical Device lawsuits?

These lawsuits are legal claims brought against companies that manufacture, market, or distribute products that have caused harm to consumers. These cases often involve:

• Dangerous side effects that were not properly disclosed
• Design or manufacturing defects that make the product unsafe
• Inadequate warnings or failure to inform doctors and patients about risks
• Recalls due to widespread injury or product failure

Most of these cases are filed as either mass torts (individual claims consolidated for pre-trial purposes) or class actions (a single lawsuit representing many victims with similar injuries).

Our team is currently investigating or pursuing claims related to the following defective drugs and medical devices:
