History

Established in 1987.

Saunders & Walker has always represented people who have been injured or wronged by others. We have been involved in civil jury trials and settlements of liability cases. For our first decade into the 1990’s we handled primarily auto crash cases, workers compensations cases, civil rights cases including police shootings, and medical malpractice cases. In the late 1990’s we developed our current specialty in medical device and drug litigation when we became deeply involved in the Fen-​Phen diet drug litigation. In the early 2000’s we expanded to handle medical device litigation including hip implant recalls, heart devices, and other drug litigation such as Baycol, Vioxx and others.
