Shane Bohnen specializes in defending medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers in product liability cases, and skilled nursing homes in malpractice cases.

Shane defends all classes of medical devices, as well as devices approved for clinical trials under the Investigational Device Exemption.  He has been published and has given presentations on key defense issues involved in defending medical device cases.  Shane also defends manufacturers of generic and brand name pharmaceuticals, and has published articles on how the Supreme Court's landmark Wyeth v. Levine defense decision affects litigation for manufacturers of brand name and generic drugs.

Shane also defends skilled nursing facilities against malpractice claims, and has experience defending nursing homes in cases involving falls, pressure ulcers, dementia care and nutrition, among others.  In addition, Shane has published an article addressing the strategic and ethical considerations of making an apology after an adverse event occurs.

Shane has defended his drug, device and nursing home clients in cases ranging from permanent and disabling injuries to minor, de minimis damages.  Regardless of the exposure, Shane is experienced in developing essential factual support to position his cases for summary judgment, victory at trial, or a modest settlement well below the cost of defense.
