Current Investigations

Personal Injury Attorneys
Gilman and Pastor’s personal injury attorneys have represented many individuals in personal injury and insurance related claims, including but not limited to automobile, truck and motorcycle crashes, premises liability, property damages, property and casualty losses and professional malpractice cases.

Infuse Bone Graft Off-Label Surgery
Manufactured and sold by Medtronic, Inc., the Infuse Bone Graft has been approved only for use in lower spine-repair surgery to promote bone growth. Infuse has been linked to dozens of cases of fatalities or life-threatening complications when used off-label in surgeries on the upper spine and neck.

Yaz/Yasmin Oral Contraceptives
Women taking the oral contraceptives Yasmin and Yaz have experienced blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, strokes, gall bladder damage, and in some cases have died.

Zicam Cold Remedy
On June 17, 2009, the FDA warned consumers to stop using Zicam, a popular homeopathic cold remedy, because it can damage or destroy the sense of smell. The FDA had received 130 reports of people losing their sense of smell after using one of the Zicam nasal products, which include Zicam Cold Remedy and Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs.

Zimmer Hip Recall
Zimmer Holdings, the nation’s largest producer of orthopedic devices, has recalled its Durom cup, a hip socket, due to a high failure rate. The medical device was first sold in the U.S. in 2006 and has been implanted in 12,000 patients.

Magnetix Toy Recall
Magtastik and Magnetix Pre-School Magnetic Toys are animal, vehicle, or building toys embedded with magnets that allow the parts to connect to large, colored metal balls. The embedded magnets can detach over time.

When more than one magnet is swallowed or aspirated by a young child, the powerful magnets attract to one another, causing intestinal perforations and blockages, which can be fatal.

Medtronic Sprint Fidelis Recall
Medtronic has recalled its Sprint Fidelis defibrillator heart lead in 2007. Today the defective product injured heart patients, from seniors to children, who received defective heart leads.

Park to Reverse Transmission Defects
Multiple vehicles, including certain Ford and Chrysler cars and SUVs, have faulty automatic transmission shift selectors which can cause them to unexpectedly move backwards.

Vehicle Fires
Millions of Ford trucks and SUVs were equipped with faulty cruise control switches which have caused hundreds of fires. We represent vehicle owners who were injured or incurred substantial property losses as a result of a vehicle fire. We also represent owners of vehicles produced by other manufacturers who suffered catastrophic burns in accidents due to defective fuel tanks.

Yamaha Rhino Accidents
The four-wheel, side-by-side Rhino manufactured by Yamaha Motor Corporation has become one of the most popular recreational off-road vehicles in the U.S. Nearly 60 riders have been killed and hundreds seriously injured in Rhino accidents.

Plaintiffs charge that the Rhino contains multiple design flaws rendering it unstable and prone to rolling over, even when driven on flat ground at low speeds. Plaintiffs further allege that the Rhino is equipped with defective doors, inadequate seat belts, and a dangerous roll cage.
