NECC President Found Guilty of Racketeering

By

 

The NECC President was found Guilty of Racketeering.  Barry Cadden, the president and co-founder of the now-defunct New England Compounding Center (NECC), was found guilty of racketeering, conspiracy and fraud for his involvement in the 2012 nationwide fungal meningitis outbreak.  The outbreak killed more than 60 people and sickened hundreds.  It was the largest public health crises in the U.S. ever caused by a pharmaceutical drug.

McGrath Law Firm Represented More than 50 of the NECC Victims

Attorney Peter G. McGrath of McGrath Law Firm represented more than 50 of the victims nationwide and sued NECC  in 2012 for distributing steroid medications tainted with bacteria.

McGrath said victims and their families have mixed emotions about the verdict.  “Many of my clients thought Cadden should have been convicted for attempted murder,” McGrath said.  “But at the same time many are relieved that the case had finally been heard and are hoping it will bring closure to such a devastating chapter in their lives.  Let’s hope the sentencing in June will be just.”

McGrath Law Firm was the first law firm in the nation to file to attach Mr. Cadden’s homes on Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts.

McGrath Law Firm has unique litigation experience with infectious disease matters. Attorney McGrath, a former federal prosecutor and founder of McGrath Law Firm, was lead counsel in the nationwide Hepatitis outbreak in New England in 2010. The firm also represented 30 clients in the recent Hepatitis B outbreak in North Charleston, South Carolina.

NECC Owners Plead Guilty to Financial Crimes

By

Last week NECC owners plead guilty to financial crimes associated with NECC.  New England Compounding Center owners Doug and Carla Conigliaro admitted to hiding a substantial sum of money after the company had declared bankruptcy and following the meningitis outbreak.  McGrath Law Firm’s Attorney Peter G. McGrath, a former federal prosecutor, who represents a large number of victims in the NECC civil case, believes that the Conigliaros will testify against others.  WMUR has interviewed one of the NECC victims and Attorney McGrath; the report can be seen by clicking here.  It is important to note that while the Conigliaros plead guilty to the financial crimes, they were not involved in the day to day operations which resulted in the fungal meningitis outbreak.  Their attorney has indicated that they were sorry since the beginning.

Attorney McGrath is confident that this is not over and the prosecutors will work diligently to pursue the bigger targets in this case. The NECC owners pleading guilty to Financial Crimes is just a stepping stone.

MTBE Contamination Investigation ensues

By

MTBE Contamination Investigation ensues as McGrath Law Firm now represents 25 families who live in the West Swanzey area who have cancer, other illnesses and property damage, which are possibly linked to the MTBE – contaminated  water supply for the West Swanzey residents.

McGrath Law Firm is investigating the cause of contamination of the West Swanzey water supply which contains a gasoline additive known as MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether) that leaked into the soil and water many years ago and continues to appear and travel in and through the water source for the residents.  Several Cancer clusters have been identified in West Swanzey by the residents.

What is MTBE?

According to the American Cancer Society’s website, MTBE is defined as a flammable, colorless liquid that dissolves easily in water. It is part of a group of chemicals known as fuel oxygenates. Oxygenates do not occur naturally in gasoline; they are added to increase gasoline’s oxygen content. MTBE and other oxygenates make gasoline burn better, which lowers harmful carbon monoxide and other emissions from vehicles, reducing air pollution.

If you or someone you know was affected by the MTBE contamination in West Swanzey, call McGrath Law Firm to learn more about your legal rights. To make an appointment, call (603) 224-7111 or (800) 283-1380, or visit www.mcgrathlawfirm.com.
