Victoria R. Calhoon

Focused on the Science of Product Liability

Victoria identifies the appropriate experts, prepares strategies to address opposing parties’ experts’ theories, and writes Daubert briefs to limit or exclude opposing parties’ experts. Victoria works with expert witnesses to address regulatory and scientific issues that arise in product liability litigation. She also has experience defending medical causation theories through working with epidemiologists.

Regulatory Risk Identification

Victoria uses her litigation experience to assist drug and device clients with the review of clinical study reports, instructions for use, product warranties, promotional materials and other regulatory submittals. Victoria’s work with regulatory issues in drug and device litigation aids in spotting thorny language that could raise questions with an agency or become challenging in potential litigation.
