Human tissue transplants in New Jersey and elsewhere have become quite commonplace in today’s society. As medical technology increases, human tissue transplants become more widely available, helping individuals to recover from serious, life-threatening injuries and illnesses.
But what happens when the tissue has not been screened for certain infectious diseases? This is when problems arise that may require the assistance of an experienced legal firm like South Jersey’s Anapol Schwartz.
Human tissue destined for transplant is required by law to be screened properly for Hepatitis B and C, HIV and Syphilis. Many clients in New Jersey and across the country have unfortunately been diagnosed with Hepatitis and/or HIV due to tainted human tissue, and others were recipients of improperly screened human tissue donations but have not yet manifested symptoms of these or other potential diseases.
Anapol Schwartz currently represents over one hundred recipients of tainted body parts, some of whom began their nightmare in 2005, when the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) first notified hospitals and physicians that an investigation into the trafficking of bones and tissues illegally harvested from funeral home cadavers had begun. While the total number of people affected by this terrible practice is unknown, the effects on human health and life continue today.
Individuals in South Jersey and other areas of the United States who will be receiving donated human tissue are strongly cautioned by the medical community and our legal firm to obtain prior testing to avoid the risk of infection from tainted tissue. Anapol Schwartz is proud to take a leading role in representing victims in New Jersey who have received bone, skin, tissue and other transplants from corpses without the required screening for certain infectious diseases.
If you have been the unfortunate recipient of tainted human tissue in New Jersey, begin getting the help you need by filing a lawsuit against the responsible party. Anapol Schwartz, will work closely with you to obtain the compensation you deserve for any ongoing medical problems from which you are suffering.
