Fighting for Women and Infants - That's What Motivates Me

By: Paola Pearson, Anapol Weiss Partner

[Excerpt from a conversation with Paola Pearson, a Partner on the Anapol Weiss Women's Health Litigation Team]

In 2021, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl after years of fertility challenges. My experience with pregnancy and loss inspire my career as an attorney in ways I never imagined.

Birth Injuries Caused by Negligence

My personal fight to become a mother motivates me to fight for the victims of senseless birth injuries that result in preventable and catastrophic injuries to innocent children and their families.

Infant NEC Injuries Caused by Baby Formula

My life experiences also push me to seek justice for dozens of NICU families whose premature babies suffered a horrible intestinal disease called necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) as a result of dangerous Similac and Enfamil brand cow-milk based formulas marketed for premature infants.

Vision Loss in Women Caused by Elmiron

In addition, as a woman, I am proud to be on the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee of In RE: Elmiron Products Liability Litigation (MDL 2973) representing thousands of women who suffered vision loss caused by a dangerous bladder medication.

Brain Tumors and Spinal Tumors Caused by Depo-Provera

Now, I look forward to the opportunity to represent women who suffered preventable brain and spinal cord tumors after taking Depo Provera to prevent pregnancy or treat endometriosis.

Women Fighting on Behalf of Women

For the last 10 years, I’ve worked alongside powerful female attorneys at Anapol Weiss advocating for women and children victimized by negligence. As a majority women-owned and operated civil litigation firm, the female lawyers at Anapol Weiss understand the unique healthcare challenges women face and have the unique ability to walk our female clients through the legal process with the compassion and empathy they deserve.
