Reid Burman Lebedeker Xenick represents those injured by defective or harmful products, drugs, medical devices, and surgical implants, whether as an individual or in other situations where large groups of people are injured. The specialized area of law dealing with large-scale defective products is also referred to as Multi-District Litigation (MDL), “mass torts” or mass tort litigation.

Effective mass tort representation requires specialized knowledge and experience, due to the complex nature of mass tort litigation.
