Judge Happas Case Study

The fear of medical malpractice lawsuits is an issue faced by all who practice medicine. To avoid public criticism by colleagues or the public from their profession and sometimes lose their ability to practice, physicians, and doctors feel forced to follow published standards of care. These treatments often include prescribing medications made to treat

The court found in favor of the manufacturer stating “federal law still preempted injured patients from bringing lawsuits in state courts, because the state laws in question require a safer label, not communicating with the FDA about the possibility of creating a safer label,” (Glantz & Annas, 2011, p. 682). Despite this regulatory standing, a controversial issue may entail for the FDA in the allowance of medications to be “interchanged” to promote an additional avenue for savings in prescription medications. Much foresight needs to be included to protect the safety and well-being of patients.

Relators brought a qui tam action on behalf of the United States and various states against Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“SPI”) and its affiliates pursuant to the False Claims Act. Relators alleged that SPI had marketed drugs for conditions other than the conditions for which the drugs were approved by the FDA and offered kickbacks to physicians who prescribed these drugs. Relators moved for summary judgment on a number of SPI’s affirmative defenses,

Defendants base their Section 2-619 motion to dismiss on Section 2-201 and 2-109 of the Tort Immunity Act, which immunizes public employees from liability where the injury claimed is the result of a "discretionary policy determination."Hascall v. Williams, 2013 IL App (4th) 121131, ¶ 23. A "determination of policy" are those decisions that require the governmental entity or employee to balance competing interests and to make a judgment call as to what solutions will best serve each of those interests. Id. However, although the Defendants may have made a discretionary policy determination, Illinois courts have held that public entities still have a duty to maintain public property in a reasonably safe condition for intended and permitted users.

Adrian has been residing in different family member’s homes, and most recently his parents Mr. and Mrs. Perez are not able to provide CSW

The Plaintiff (Rector) likely has a strong argument that she should survive summary judgment because there is a question of material fact on product identification. Courts have consistently held that a brand name drug manufacturer cannot be held liable for injuries caused by a generic form of the drug they produce. In re Darvocet, Darvon, and Propoxyphene Products Liability Litig., 756 F.3d 917, 940 (6th Cir. 2014). However, if plaintiffs claim they took the brand name drug itself, then courts have tended to apply a low standard for product identification.

The Medicines Company Case Write-Up: Terence Cho, Felipe Duarte, Aleks Loiko, Robert Shaw, and James Wang

All through the greater part of the nineteenth century and on into the 1930s, the Preeminent Court did not take after Marshall's lead; it was hesitant to permit an extension of government control to the detriment of the states. As the cosmetics of the Court changed with the arrangements made by President Franklin Roosevelt, so did the course of its choices. In the zones of common freedoms and social liberties specifically, the Incomparable Court and the lower government courts have set national models that states and regions are committed to take after. Through their understanding of the due procedure and equivalent insurance conditions of the Fourteenth Amendment, they have achieved a huge exchange of energy from the states to the

Before many writers even thought of writing detective novels the Chinese were known for creating these works of literature explaining the cases of important magistrates. One of the most famed or popular of these judges was judge Dee. Judge Dee lived in the seventeenth century AD. This book was written during the eighteenth century by a person well versed in Chinese legal code. In this story there are three crimes that get solved. The three cases that get solved are the case of the strange corpse, the case of the double murder at dawn, and the case of the poisoned bride. When reading this story the double murder was the simplest to grasp, an argument that arose between two traveling silk merchants that quickly turns into a fight ultimately leading

The California Court of Appeals’ decision in Coleman v. Medtronic has made it easier for plaintiffs to pursue medical products liability claims. In the landmark 2014 decision, the court held that the state law tort claims asserted by the plaintiff were not federally preempted. The decision is part of a growing body of medical products liability law regarding the circumstances under which a state law claim can impose "parallel" requirements to those under the Food, Drug & Cosmetics Act (FDCA) and, therefore, avoid federal preemption.

The testimony of Owens stating she was aware of the risks that the plaintiff experienced and that this was not included in the warning labels of the product.

The Stare decisis was implemented as a doctrine in 1066 that served as a legal principle to recognize previous decisions as precedents to guide future deliberations. It is a type of principle that forms the basis for our modern law of adhering to precedent and makes the predictability in the law. The court means that the stare decisis standing by decided matters and the jurisdiction over them making it harder to argue a policy. Ultimately, a case that was decided on before could potentially end up being overturned. I believe that consistency is important when applying stare decisis with the decision of each case on individually basis. For example, there are several of cases that were consistent with parameters of the doctrine of stare decisis.

The Supreme Court considered whether plaintiff’s lawsuit against the marketers of Accutane was barred by the two-year statute of limitations. Suit was filed about nine years after plaintiff was first prescribed the acne drug as a twelve-year-old. The prescribing doctor did not mention the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) because he was not aware of it. When the FDA approved Accutane years before, it did not require a warning of possible gastrointestinal side effects such as IBD. Although the brochure plaintiff was provided warned to be on the alert for stomach pain, diarrhea and rectal bleeding, plaintiff did not experience any gastrointestinal side effects during the initial or subsequent times she used the drug. However, about seven

The Court has struggled to define the distinction, if any, between generic and branded drugs in terms of state tort liability and failure to warn claims. In Wyeth v. Levine, the Court decided that the FDA’s drug labeling requirements for brand drugs do not preempt state tort claims related to the dissemination of safety information. In essence, brand name manufacturers will be held liable for failure to update their warning labels in an effective and efficient manner. Just two short years later, the Court contradicts its decision in Wyeth, and defines a distinction for generic drug products, which applies federal preemption principles in Pliva v. Mensing. Finally, in Mutual Pharamceutical v. Bartlett, the Court effectively barred generic failure to warn, and defective design claims in state courts.
