FDA logoAs product liability attorneys, we recognize the critical importance of timely adverse event reporting by medical device manufacturers. Such reporting is not only a regulatory obligation but also a fundamental aspect of patient safety and corporate accountability. Delayed reporting can have significant legal ramifications, including:

  1. Regulatory Non-Compliance: Manufacturers are mandated by federal law to report adverse events to the FDA within 30 days of becoming aware of them. Failure to comply can result in enforcement actions, fines, and potential injunctions against the company.
  2. Increased Liability Exposure: Delayed reporting may be construed as negligence, exposing manufacturers to lawsuits from patients harmed by undisclosed device risks. Courts may view the failure to report promptly as a breach of duty to consumers.

As NYC bicycle accident attorneys, we have seen the devastating impact of the city’s failure to prioritize safe streets. Victims of reckless drivers often suffer life-altering injuries—broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage—all because the city refuses to implement the infrastructure that could prevent these tragedies.

A newly released Department of Transportation (DOT) report confirms what cyclists and safe-street advocates have long suspected: Mayor Eric Adams has systematically undermined New York City’s legally mandated commitments to expand bike lanes and bus lanes, putting cyclists and pedestrians at continued risk.

Nicholas Dominici died because of the daycare's reckless negligenceAs Bronx personal injury lawyers, we have seen many tragic cases of negligence and recklessness, but few are as shocking as the case of Divino Niño day care. What should have been a safe space for infants turned out to be a front for a narcotics operation, with fatal consequences. This case underscores the severe risks posed by illicit drug activity in environments where children are supposed to be protected.

On Monday, Grei Mendez, the owner of Divino Niño, was sentenced to 45 years in federal prison for her role in a fentanyl trafficking operation that resulted in the death of a 22-month-old child, Nicholas Feliz Dominici, and the poisoning of three other toddlers. Mendez had pleaded guilty to possessing and conspiring to distribute narcotics resulting in serious injury and death. Prosecutors argued that she prioritized protecting herself and her co-conspirators over the lives of the children in her care, even attempting to delete incriminating evidence while being questioned by police.
