Hope for the Holidays

As the holiday season quickly approaches, we remember the victims of the heparin tragedy that occurred almost two years ago this winter. In a season that is supposed to be filled with joy and peace, many of our clients still struggle with the emptiness left from the loss of their loved one, as well as frustration from Baxter’s ongoing refusal to acknowledge and take responsibility for the harm it caused these families.

However, the holiday season is one that is filled with hope. While taking on a powerful billion dollar drug company is not an easy or quick task, there is an amazing team of attorneys, doctors, scientists and other victim advocates, who are working every day to expose Baxter’s lies and to hold it accountable for its decision to put corporate profits over people’s lives. We will not waiver or tire in our quest for truth and justice for the hundreds who lost their lives. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.”

As our important fight continues, we wish all of the families hope, strength and perseverance this holiday season.
