As a trial attorney with experience as an operating room nurse, Carolyn St. Clair, RN, BSN, JD, PLLC, has amassed success over thirty years litigating personal injury and wrongful death cases across the nation. St. Clair represents injured people in cases involving:
Medical Devices – Medical devices need to be approved as both safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but medical device manufacturers have found a way to skirt those rules by claiming their device is not new but simply another version of a previously-approved device. However, even subtle differences can have significant consequences, and all devices should be tested for patient safety. The monthly FDA recalls of defective medical devices by the dozens tell the tale. Some of the medical device litigation we are currently investigating and handling include: Hernia Mesh, IVC Filters, Transvaginal Mesh, Hip Implants. We suggest you seek competent medical advice before undergoing any type of surgery.
Drug Recalls – Pharmaceutical manufacturers make billions off of their “blockbuster” drugs that they heavily advertise and market to consumers and even directly to physicians under ethically questionable practices. Medicines need to go through a lengthy review process to make sure they are safe, but in their rush to be the first to market and make the most money, drug makers cut corners on research, even to the point of suppressing unfavorable test results and hiding them from the government. Our dangerous drug practice holds drug makers responsible for negligence as well as their intentional deceptions. Representative drugs we are currently investigating include: Zantac, Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium, Zofran. Do not stop taking any drug without seeking medical advice first.
Consumer Products – From Johnson & Johnson’s everyday Talcum Powder to Roundup Weed Killer manufactured by chemical giant Monsanto, consumer products can have negative medical effects on consumers who used them according to their suggested, intended use. Proving that a particular product caused cancer or other another serious medical issue requires both a strong medical and legal background. Carolyn St. Clair can interact with experts on a peer basis and truly understand how to prepare and present a strong case proving a product maker’s liability.
Medical Errors – When hospitals or nursing homes make mistakes, from birth injuries and surgical errors to misdiagnosis and medication errors, Carolyn St. Clair combines her nursing expertise with decades of skill as a trial attorney to provide high-quality legal representation for her clients.
Accidents – With over thirty years as a personal injury trial lawyer, Carolyn St. Clair is fluent in the full range of personal injury matters across the country. St. Clair takes on cases with significant injuries and complex legal issues to win recoveries for her clients. Major areas of focus include: Medical Malpractice, Medical Devices and Drugs, Auto and Truck Accidents.
Medical Legal Trial Expertise
With decades of success, St. Clair understands the multiple health, legal and financial issues that overwhelm injured clients in multidistrict litigation (MDL), class actions, and individual lawsuits in federal and state courts. St. Clair’s experience as an operating room nurse with world-renowned heart surgeons Dr. Denton Cooley and Dr. Michael DeBakey, and as a Supreme Court briefing attorney in Texas, lends a swift analysis of the damages and liability of each case. Working with legal legends John O’Quinn, Joe Jamail and Jim Kronzer, she gained valuable skills in courtroom trial strategy. St. Clair enhanced her education with negotiation, mediation, and arbitration at the Harvard Law School Negotiation Institute. Lawyers, clients and medical professionals refer injured people to her firm. In further recognition of her abilities, St. Clair was selected to serve the IVC Filter litigation committee overseeing bellwether jury trials.
