What Types of Product Liability Cases Does Peter Wachowski Help With?

Zantac claims involve allegations that the heartburn medication ranitidine contained or degraded into NDMA, a probable carcinogen, potentially increasing the risk of cancers such as bladder, stomach, esophageal, liver, pancreatic, and colorectal cancer. These cases require careful review of medical records, documented product use, scientific evidence, and regulatory findings. Successful claims focus on proving failure to warn, defective design, and causation, while pursuing compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and wrongful death where applicable.
Defective medical device cases arise when implants or medical products — such as hip replacements, pacemakers, surgical mesh, or insulin pumps — fail due to design flaws, manufacturing defects, or inadequate warnings. These claims often involve complex engineering and medical analysis, expert testimony, and aggressive defense from manufacturers. Injured patients may seek compensation for revision surgeries, long-term disability, lost earnings, and ongoing medical care caused by unsafe or malfunctioning devices.
Auto defect claims focus on injuries caused or worsened by unsafe vehicle components, including defective airbags, brake failures, steering malfunctions, tire blowouts, or fuel system fires. Unlike standard accident cases, these lawsuits target manufacturers and parts suppliers whose design or production errors made vehicles unreasonably dangerous. Building these cases requires accident reconstruction, technical analysis, and expert engineering review to establish liability and recover damages for serious injuries or fatalities.
SUV rollover cases involve catastrophic injuries that occur when a sport utility vehicle tips or flips due to instability, high center of gravity, tire failures, or evasive maneuvers — sometimes combined with negligent driving or defective design. These cases demand detailed crash reconstruction and vehicle dynamics analysis to determine whether driver negligence, road conditions, or manufacturer design contributed to the rollover. Victims may pursue compensation for severe trauma, long-term disability, medical expenses, lost wages, and wrongful death.
Talcum powder litigation centers on claims that long-term use of talc-based products, particularly for personal hygiene, contributed to ovarian cancer or mesothelioma, sometimes due to alleged asbestos contamination or inadequate safety warnings. These cases involve scientific causation analysis, product identification, and review of corporate knowledge and marketing practices. Compensation may include cancer treatment costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and wrongful death damages for affected families.
Pharmaceutical injury claims arise when prescription medications cause serious harm due to dangerous side effects, inadequate warnings, manufacturing defects, or improper marketing practices. These complex cases require analysis of medical history, clinical data, pharmacology, and regulatory compliance, often supported by expert testimony. Injured patients may seek compensation for medical bills, long-term health complications, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and in fatal cases, wrongful death damages.
