Cowper Law LLP is one of three law firms leading the litigation against Medtronic as a result of recalled 600 series Insulin Pumps. The recalled pumps have a broken retainer ring that when damaged can improperly deliver insulin to a patient leading to diabetic ketoacidosis, a coma, or death. After oral argument by Moze Cowper in front of Judge Elihu M. Berle in Los Angele Superior Court, the Judge ruled that plaintiffs have the right to communicate and share critical documents with their own physicians prior to a deposition without the involvement of defense counsel. The Judge also ruled that plaintiff’s counsel may communicate with Medtronic’s former employees so long as they are not represented by counsel, have signed a protective order, and do not disclose attorney-client privileged information.
