C/P/R has been involved in some of the largest drug liability cases in history.


All too often pharmaceutical companies place the interests of shareholders and marketing success above the safety of the people taking their medications. At Cohen, Placitella & Roth, we are proud of our efforts to hold those companies responsible when the products they introduce onto the market lack necessary warnings, or the health risks of the drugs outweigh any benefit, and prove to be simply too dangerous.

Pharmaceutical Litigation

Over the past four decades, we have developed the technical background, experience, and resources to investigate and pursue pharmaceutical litigation cases. Our efforts and the litigation we have filed have improved the safety profile for these types of products. We have been involved with some of the largest drug liability cases in the history of this country and have successfully prosecuted those cases on behalf of both injured people and institutions that have been misled into paying for drugs that were unsafe or ineffective.
