    1. BECOME INFORMED

    There's a commercial for a mens clothing store in New York that says "An informed consumer is our best customer." This is true for people who have potential medical malpractice and injury cases. From the moment the phone rings until we've finished their case, the most important aspect of my job is to inform you, the client, whether you have the
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    basis to bring a lawsuit, what your chances for obtaining money are, and to give you the best legal advice possible.

    Without good legal advice, your ability to make informed choices are limited. That's why you need as much information as possible, and as soon as possible. You don't want to be told that the time to bring your lawsuit has lapsed, which leads me to the ne

    2. LEARN WHAT YOUR TIME LIMIT IS TO START A LAWSUIT

    You must know how much time you have to bring a claim and/or a lawsuit. There are many different time limits in New York, depending on the type of case you have. In a car accident case you generally have three years from the date of the accident in which to start a lawsuit. However, you only have 30 da
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    There are many different exceptions to the time limits in New York. For example, if you were treated in a City Hospital such as Coney Island Hospital or Jacobi Hospital and you feel a doctor or nurse treated you improperly that resulted in injury, you'd have only 90 days to fil

    a claim against them. Then you'd have only one year and 90 days from the date of the malpractice within which to start a lawsuit. BUT WAIT! You can't start your lawsuit until after you've filed a claim against the agency that 'owns' the hospital. See...it gets complicated. That's why it's so important to learn about the time limits you have. YOU MUST BECOME FULL INFORME

    If you wait too long to seek legal advice, you might not be able to start a lawsuit because your time has lapsed. Find out now, then make your decision about whether you want to proceed with a lawsuit.

    3. MEET WITH THE ATTORNEY TO SEE IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH HIM OR HER

    Not every attorney will fit every client. It's like a first date. Some people you'll fee
    ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc
    l comfortable with, and others you won't. You won't know until you actually meet with the lawyer. Look at the surroundings. Look at how organized the lawyer is. Is the lawyer a professional. Does he or she appear confident in their abilities? Is the lawyer explaining and answering your questions, or is he or she trying to sell you on how wonderful he is? Use your common
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi
    ense when deciding whether this lawyer is for you.

    If you're unsure, tell the lawyer honestly that you're not sure whether you're going to choose him, and need to speak to other attorneys before you make a decision. Being open and honest with your lawyer is extremely important. Most lawyers will understand your reluctance to immediately sign up. Some will pressure you t
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically
    sign a retainer before you leave the office. Remember, this is YOUR CASE. You must feel right with whichever lawyer you choose.

    4. EVALUATE THE LAW FIRM

    Does the lawyer have support staff to handle any questions or issues if your lawyer is busy? Does he have partners? Is he a solo practitioner, or is this a large law firm? Is the lawyer you meet with the one wh
    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ
    will be with you every step of the way? Or will your case be assigned to different lawyers as it makes its' way through the legal system?

    If you have questions about the status of your case will the lawyer you meet with call you back, or will you get a call from some paralegal you've never met before? When you call the office will you have to give them a file number fo
    ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi
    them to know who you are and what's going on with your case, or will the attorney have these facts at his fingertips?

    Answers to these questions will help you decide if this lawyer and this law firm are the right match for you.

    5. DOES THE LAWYER HAVE FREE INFORMATION FOR YOU BEFORE YOU EVER WALK IN THE DOOR?

    Before going to meet the lawyer, can you get inform
    ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

    Following aspects would a
    ation about lawsuits and his experience from any written materials like a brochure or his law firm website? Look to see what information they provide. Is the lawyer hesitant to talk to you on the phone? Are there any pamphlets or booklets the lawyer has written that he sends to prospective clients to give them information about their type of case?

    Remember, becoming inf
    dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

    Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
    Which combination prod
    rmed is the key to understanding your legal rights.

    6. ELIMINATE SURPRISES- ASK ABOUT FEES

    Most lawyers who handle medical malpractice and injury cases in New York do not charge any fee to meet with them or to investigate your case. If an attorney accepts your case, they will have you sign a retainer agreement which sets out in detail the terms of the fee arrang
    cts are meaningful and rational?
    Which therapeutic categories to select?
    Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
    Do combin
    ment. In injury cases, typically the attorney will receive 1/3 of the net fee (after expenses and disbursements have been re-paid). In a medical malpractice case, the lawyer will get a fee that is much less, and works on a sliding scale- as the client's share goes up, the lawyer's fee drops.

    7. ASK ABOUT EXPERIENCE

    In most medical malpractice cases, a lawyer's e
    tions increase the patient compliance?
    What would be the developing cost?
    How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen
    perience is the key to getting not just fair compensation but just compensation. You must ask not only how long the attorney has been in practice, but how long they've handled cases like yours, and whether they have handled cases similar to yours. Obviously past experience does not guarantee a future result. However, with past similar cases the attorney has the ability t
    t?

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel
    properly advise you about what needs to be done to try and achieve the best result possible.

    8. ASK ABOUT PREVIOUS CASES SIMILAR TO YOURS

    (See #7 above)
    What if your attorney has never handled a case like yours? Well- you can still stick with this attorney. I'm sure he can learn everything he needs to handle your type of case. But remember this- This is th
    ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

    e only time you'll be able to bring a lawsuit for your injuries. Don't you think you might be better off with an attorney who has handled these types of cases for years and years? The choice, as always is yours. Make your decision after carefully thinking about the risks and benefits of chosing one lawyer over another.

    9. ASK ANY ATTORNEY YOU MEET, WHO HE WOULD USE I

    HE NEEDED A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAWYER

    If the lawyer you meet with is confident of his or her abilities, they should have no problem recommending another attorney for you to get another opinion. However, if they are hesitant, or refuse to give you another name of an attorney to consult with, I would personally questions why not? Obviously, they don't want to lose y
    .

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de
    u as a prospective client. However, I have found that lawyers are totally upfront with clients and give them the information they ask for, more likely than not, the client will return to their office and ask them to be their lawyer.

    10. YOU HAVE NO OBLIGATION WHEN YOU CALL AN ATTORNEY FOR INFORMATION IN NEW YORK.

    Just because you meet with an attorney, without p
    elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip
    ying any fee, does not obligate you to sign up with or stay with that attorney. We hear so often in attorney advertising "There's no obligation!" What this means is that you have a choice. If you like the attorney and are confident of their abilities, great! If you don't, say "thank you for your time," and move on to the next attorney. You are under no obligation to stay
