Practice Areas
We focus on the following types of cases.
Benzene/Leukemia
Benzene has long been connected to Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes and Aplastic Anemia. We see this most often with Auto Mechanics and people who worked in the Printing field.
Talc and Ovarian Cancer
Since 1982 Talc has been linked to Ovarian Cancer. If you have Ovarian Cancer or Fallopian Tube cancer and you used Talc then you may have a claim.
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy and Erb’s Palsy can both be connected to mistakes made during the birth process. Cost of Lifetime care can be very expensive so it is worth finding out if you and your family have a case.
Medical Malpractice
Medical Mistakes may account for as many as 250,000 deaths in the US each year. We can help you determine if you or your family may have a claim.

Would absolutely recommend. …if they had a valid case that needed a serious attorney to represent them, they should call Burke and Eisner.
