Brain Injury

Pennsylvania brain injury victims may feel like they have nowhere to turn. A Pennsylvania brain injury lawyer at SchmidtKramer can help.

Drug Injuries

There have been a variety of drugs in the news of late with many drug manufacturers in the spotlight. The pharmaceutical industry is hugely competitive. Drug manufacturing giants aggressively market their products, often with their eyes strictly on profits. Specific health risks associated with their "wonder drugs" are frequently downplayed or hidden from the public. All too often, the FDA must request stricter warning labels, only to pull the drug off the market months later. However, by the time of these drug recalls, many case reports of drug injury and even death have accumulated. [read more]

In our environment exist dangers not of nature's design that fall into the realm of human responsibility.

Nursing Home Abuse

Trusting the care and health of a loved one who is in need of assistance and medical attention to a Pennsylvania nursing home is a decision not taken lightly. Research, facility visits, and much more go into the process of deciding where—or whether or not— to place your loved one in a nursing or assisted living facility.
