CONTAMINATED HUMAN TISSUE AND ORGAN TRANSPLANTS
We're sorry, but we are no longer accepting new claims for contaminated human
tissue and organ transplants.
[Introduction: If you or a loved one sustained injuries or damage by what you believe to have been a contaminated human tissue or organ transplant, you may have a lawsuit that should be pursued. Although our medical product liability lawyers who handle our contaminated human tissue or organ transplant lawsuits are located in Maryland (MD), Virginia (VA) and Washington, D.C. (DC), our medical product liability litigation is national in scope, and our medical product liability lawyers are prepared to file lawsuits and litigate contaminated human tissue or organ transplant cases around the country. Therefore, regardless of what state you're from, please fill out our inquiry form on this web site or email us so that Ashcraft & Gerel, LLP can have a medical product liability lawyer contact you to discuss your claim and the potential of a lawsuit.]
The human tissue and organ bank industry has recently been turned into an unfortunate "commodity" trade that puts profit over safety at the expense of dignity and disease. This industry -- which experts estimate is valued at over $1 billion annually -- has come under increased scrutiny following an FDA probe and criminal charges being brought against a major human tissue and organ harvester or processor, who in turn supplied many other tissue processors. The investigation and criminal charges were brought about after it was found that widespread violations of FDA protocols took place, including illegal and unauthorized removal of organs from cadavers for transplant into otherwise healthy subjects.
Doctors, hospitals, and medical supply companies across the nation are notifying certain people that they were recipients of transplanted human tissue or
organs which may have been contaminated with dangerous and even deadly viruses or bacteria.
These tissues or organs could have been harvested for use in a variety of medical procedures, including but not limited
to joint and heart valve replacements, hip replacements, knee replacements, ankle surgeries, back surgeries, dental implants, skin grafts, and corneal implants.
Contaminated tissues or organs, if transplanted into an otherwise healthy subject, could lead to bacterial infection, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and syphilis to name a few of the disease processes. Unfortunately, some people may not know they have received contaminated tissues, and for those who have, they may not even know they have been infected, due to incubation and latency periods that vary according to the type of infection.
If you think you or a loved one may have suffered an injury or damages as a result of receiving contaminated human
tissue (s), you owe it to yourself to speak to an experienced medical product liability
attorney to see if you have a case and to discuss the possibility of bringing a lawsuit to recover for your damages and injuries. The attorney will be able to ascertain if you have a claim for which a lawsuit can be pursued and whether the case and lawsuit can be brought to a successful settlement, verdict, award or other recovery, and the experienced lawyer will be able to advise you on any deadlines for bringing your legal claim for damages. Please contact the law firm of Ashcraft and Gerel, LLP to discuss your case with an experienced
medical product liability lawyer in our Medical Product Liability Department.
The lawyers at Ashcraft and Gerel, LLP have been leaders in pursuing lawsuits involving unsafe drugs, implants, and infusions. Our attorneys have successfully brought about verdicts, settlements, awards or other recoveries in lawsuits on behalf of clients who have been injured by Fen-Phen, Rezulin, Propulsid, Phenylpropanolamine (PPA), Baycol, breast implants and AIDS tainted blood.
Although some of these lawsuits resulted in class action settlements, class
actions are not the only way these cases are handled. The courts have devised
methods to deal with mass torts so that each lawsuit can benefit from
information and evidence gathered in other lawsuits nationwide and yet be
handled on an individual basis.
We have a toll free number to reach an attorney to answer your questions with regard to your specific case. That number is 1-800-829-7037. Please ask to speak to Robert Samet, and he will place you in touch with one of our drug litigation lawyers. If you would prefer, please feel free to
