In the cover article, “Protecting Patients and the Public,”
writer Justin Smulison calls 2024 the firm’s landmark year as Lubin
& Meyer pursues a local case with national impact. The case
against Derrick Todd, MD, formerly of Brigham and Women’s Hospital
and Charles River Medical Associates, alleges improper behavior
including unnecessary and invasive pelvic exams and breast exams,
among other doctor patient boundary violations.
Lubin & Meyer filed a master complaint that united the
various lawsuits filed against Todd. In addition to Todd the
lawsuit names three dozen defendants. And patients continue to come
forward to join the class action.
Lubin & Meyer founder and well-known victim’s advocate,
Attorney, Andrew C. Meyer, Jr., stated, “This doctor violated his
oath not to harm — to protect and act in the best interest of his
patients.”
Meyer and his partner William J. Thompson are lead attorneys on
the case along with partners Maria Mazur and Julie Davis and Mary
Wenham of the medical staff.
Said Meyer, “When numerous plaintiffs come forward, it is
unlikely that supervisors and leadership were unaware of this
doctor’s unethical and illegal behavior.”
“We plan to expose a pattern of systemic recklessness and
negligence. We aim to hold all wrongdoers accountable, secure
maximum compensation for the victims and demand the necessary
reforms to prevent such unthinkable acts from recurring in our
health care systems. Our decades of experience in complex medical
malpractice and catastrophic injury cases has uniquely prepared us
for a class action of this caliber,” said Meyer. Patients looking
