Parfitt, Esq., a Personal Injury Lawyer employed with the firm, was recently inducted into the International Academy of Trial Lawyers (IATL) at their annual meeting held March 21-25, 2018. The International Academy of Trial Lawyers limits membership to 500 Fellows from the United States, which demonstrates what an honor this is for Ms. Parfitt and the firm. Attorneys who have achieved a career of excellence through demonstrated skill and ability in jury trials, trials before the court and appellate practice are identified, acknowledged and honored in this way.

“To be inducted into the IATL an attorney must be evaluated by colleagues and judges in the corresponding jurisdiction and be highly recommended by them as possessing these qualifications and characteristics. Ms. Parfitt consistently does so through her work at our firm as she champions for the rights of her clients. Individuals know they can count on her in their time of need, as her work as a Product Liability Lawyer has helped countless make their way through mass torts involving medical devices and construction liability among others,” Allen Lowe, spokesperson for Ashcraft & Gerel, reports.

Pharmaceutical lawsuits take on many forms. A pharmaceutical manufacturer may be accused of off-label promotion or may be involved in taking kickbacks. Failing to provide safety data is a violation of the law, and improper manufacturing procedures have been cited in certain suits. Individuals make use of prescription medications to improve their health but may find the medication does more harm than good. Ms. Parfitt and the entire team at Ashcraft & Gerel is here to help individuals in this situation.

“People turn to their doctor when they have a medical condition in need of treatment. Doctors prescribe medications believing them to be safe, yet often learn at a later date that they did more harm than good. Patients affected by these drugs need recourse, and Ms. Parfitt works to ensure they are treated fairly under the law and receive the compensation they deserve,” Lowe continues.

Sadly, doctors make mistakes too, and this can lead to long-term consequences for the patient. Some individuals lose their lives due to mistakes on the part of their medical team. According to the National Practitioner Data Base, 143,7123 medical malpractice payments were reported for the NPDB calendar year. However, it is estimated that 65 percent of these cases are dropped or withdrawn before reaching the trial stage. Individuals who may be eligible for compensation are choosing to drop or withdraw their case before receiving the funds they are due.

Don’t let another party’s mistake have a negative impact on your life. With our help, you can hold those who are responsible accountable for their actions.
