The Law Offices of John D. Winer is still accepting cases involving Baycol and other prescription drugs such as the diet drug, Phendimetrazine, which are known to cause serious injury and death
The Firm is currently handling and considering Baycol cases with serious
outcomes. Prescription drug litigation requires a great deal of special
knowledge for an attorney to successfully handle a case. Complex issues of
liability and causation are frequently the hallmark of a defective drug
case. John Winer, Esq. has authored a well received FAQ and article on
defective drug cases.
Mr. Winer is also recognized by his peers to as one of the top lawyers in
the state of California on handling cases with complex damage and causation
issues.
At the Law Offices of John D. Winer each case is handled personally by Mr.
Winer and at least one associate attorney. The firm spends the time and
money on each case that is necessary to produce a successful result. Each
client is given individual attention. This is particularly crucial in large
defective drug cases when some firms represent hundreds of clients and put
them all together in a class action. Frequently, under those circumstances
the needs of the individual clients are ignored. The Law Offices of John D.
Winer prides itself on paying close attention to the case of each client.
The Firm tries to only take the best cases to insure that each case can receive the
attention that it deserves.
Because of Mr. Winer's reputation in the legal community as one of the leading attorneys in California in psychological injury
and serious personal injury cases, most of the cases handled by the law firm come from referrals from other personal injury
lawyers who do not specialize in handling prescription drug injuries, psychotherapist malpractice, healthcare provider sex abuse, sexual harassment,
post traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury and elder abuse cases. Many of these cases result in severe psychological
trauma and require thoughtful and sensitive representation of clients.
Mr. Winer explains "Because we are selective in the cases that we handle, we can give each case the special attention
that it deserves. We only accept cases when we believe that the plaintiff will be better off after the litigation than they
are before they attempt to seek redress for their injuries. We attempt to not only obtain the best financial result that we
can for the client, but also attempt to help people become empowered through the litigation process. Because of our
reputation, we are sometimes able to settle cases without extensive litigation and without exposing our clients to the
trauma of litigation. If a case does have to be litigated, we pursue it aggressively."
"Finding the right lawyer is difficult without specific information about the background and experience and successes
of a law firm. We welcome you to examine the other areas of this website to learn more about our firm and our outstanding
results in other cases."
The Baycol cases will necessarily, at some point, result in a special
litigation group set up in California and nationally to handle the large
number of cases. It is important when these litigation groups are set up
that your lawyer is part of the steering committee or the committee that
will lead the group. Further it is important that your case does not get
lost in the shuffle as the class action law firms attempt to settle large
number of cases all together.
John Winer and the Law Offices of John Winer is in a good position to contribute significantly in the committees when they are finally set up. Mr. Winer
has been involved in a significant number of mass tort cases including the
breast implant litigation, the 1989 San Francisco Earthquake Cypress
Structure Collapse; Sun Valley Mall Airplane Crash; Squaw Valley Gondola Collapse and a number of other high
profile groups. Because of his reputation as a trial lawyer and his
leadership position in the community as Immediate Past President of the San
Francisco Trial Lawyers Association and Past Vice President of the
California Trial Lawyer Association and the Consumer Attorneys of
California, Mr. Winer will likely play a significant role in the Baycol cases
and is already working with an American Trial Lawyer Specialty Group to
coordinate litigation efforts.
