Sabatini and Associates, LLC

On behalf of his client, Attorney James Sabatini has filed a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturers of Yasmin in Connecticut Federal District Court. The lawsuit alleges that the birth control medication Yasmin was a substantial factor in causing the client to suffer bilateral pulmonary emboli.  Sabatini and Associates, LLC represents women in Yasmin and Yaz product liability litigation and is presently accepting Yasmin and Yaz cases.

Attorney James Sabatini has filed a lawsuit on behalf of his client who was seriously injured in a car crash. The client sustained a herniated disc in the cervical spine that produces radiating pain.  The client initially attempted to handle the case on his own and deal with the insurance company’s claims adjuster.  His dealings with the insurance company became increasingly frustrating so he contacted Attorney Sabatini to takeover the case on his behalf. It is not uncommon for the firm to be retained by a client only after the client attempted to handle his case on own.  In cases involving significant injury, the injured person absolutely requires legal representation to ensure that he is properly and fully compensated for his injuries and losses.

Attorney James Sabatini recently secured a $100,000.00 settlement for his client who was injured in a motor vehicle collision.  The collision happened in Connecticut approximately one year before the settlement was obtained.  The case was filed in state superior court.  The case settled soon after the client was deposed.  The client’s performance in his deposition had a positive effect on obtaining the settlement figure.  In advance of the client’s deposition, Attorney Sabatini spent significant time with his client in preparing him for the deposition.  It is absolutely critical that a client be thoroughly prepared for the deposition.  The preparation includes the following; (1) going over the basic rules to follow during the course of the deposition; (2) reviewing all medical records to ensure that the client’s testimony is consistent with the medical records; (3) reviewing the police report and answers to interrogatories; (4) going through a mock deposition where the attorney asks the questions that are expected to be asked by the insurance defense lawyer.  The preparation ensures that the deposition will go well for the client which in turn increases the chances the case will settle for maximum value or that if there is a trial, the client’s deposition testimony will not be used against him.

The Firm has been retained by a woman who has bladder cancer to investigate whether Actos caused her cancer. Our client had been taking Actos for more than one year before being diagnosed with bladder cancer. Recent reports have indicated a potential connection between Actos and bladder cancer.  France has suspended the use of Actos and Germany no longer recommends that new patients be prescribed Actos.

In August 2010, the DePuy ASR metal-on-metal artificial hip device was recalled due to an increased rate of revisions (follow up surgeries) occurring shortly after the original hip implant.  Certain medical literature and data has shown that a number of revisions in users of the ASR hip are due to metal debris from the metal components in the device.  Following the ASR recall, a MDL was formed for all lawsuits filed in federal courts around the nation. 

 Now a second MDL has formed because DePuy makes various hip devices besides the ASR.  Specifically, DePuy makes the Pinnacle metal-on-metal hip model that is similar to the ASR.  There have been reports of metal poisoning and pre-mature revisions occurring with the Pinnacle device.  Multiple lawsuits have been filed and the DePuy Pinnacle MDL has been assigned to Judge James E. Kinkeade in the Northern District of Texas.
