[Excerpt from a conversation with Paola Pearson, a Partner on the Anapol Weiss Women's Health Litigation Team]
In 2021, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl after years of fertility challenges. My experience with pregnancy and loss inspire my career as an attorney in ways I never imagined.
Birth Injuries Caused by Negligence
My personal fight to become a mother motivates me to fight for the victims of senseless birth injuries that result in preventable and catastrophic injuries to innocent children and their families.
Infant NEC Injuries Caused by Baby Formula
My life experiences also push me to seek justice for dozens of NICU families whose premature babies suffered a horrible intestinal disease called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) as a result of dangerous Similac and Enfamil brand cow-milk based formulas marketed for premature infants.
Vision Loss in Women Caused by Elmiron
In addition, as a woman, I am proud to be on the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee of In RE: Elmiron Products Liability Litigation (MDL 2973) representing thousands of women who suffered vision loss caused by a dangerous bladder medication.
Brain Tumors and Spinal Tumors Caused by Depo-Provera
Now, I look forward to the opportunity to represent women who suffered preventable brain and spinal cord tumors after taking Depo Provera to prevent pregnancy or treat endometriosis.
