Dangerous Drugs and Defective Medical Devices

Scott Shachtman has also handled pharmaceutical negligence and strict liability cases. Several years ago, he and several other lawyers in the Kansas City area helped thousands of the victims of Robert Courtney obtain settlements.

Shachtman met with hundreds of Courtney’s victims personally and helped them pursue their claims against Courtney and the drug manufacturers.
