Ed Taber is a trial lawyer with 25 years of experience defending the health care industry in tort litigation, including academic medical centers, medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and other health care entities.
Ed’s practice over those 25 years has been a complementary mix of high-end medical malpractice defense for leading academic medical centers, combined with a nationwide product liability practice in defense of America’s medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers. He has handled cases in numerous federal and state court jurisdictions in 20 different states across the U.S.
Ed has participated on national defense teams for 18 federal multidistrict litigations involving medical products. He has tried more than 20 jury cases to verdict, and prevailed on summary judgment for his clients more than 50 times.
Ed greatly enjoys complex medicine and science, and the individual stories behind the plaintiff and defense sides of personal injury lawsuits, whether it be in a mass tort context or an individual case.
Ed and his wife have four children, born in two waves separated by 17 years. In between trials, he likes to spend time with family at Lake Huron, or on a motorcycle, or fixing things (sometimes successfully).
