Meet Attorney Genevieve Zimmerman

"I help people. I am a trial lawyer and I focus my time exclusively on helping patients and families who have been injured as a result of dangerous drugs and defective medical devices. I try cases and have successfully resolved thousands of claims in settlement."

Genevieve Zimmerman focuses on complex product liability cases, particularly those involving defective medical devices and drugs. She currently serves as Co-Lead Counsel for plaintiffs affected by Bair Hugger Products and worked on the Smith & Nephew Birmingham Hip Resurfacing litigation, achieving significant milestones, including multi-million-dollar settlements and favorable trial outcomes.

With extensive experience representing individuals harmed by defective medical devices and pharmaceuticals, Genevieve is uniquely qualified to handle cases like Depo-Provera lawsuits, given her proven track record of leadership and results in high-stakes pharmaceutical litigation. 

Genevieve has played key roles in high-profile cases, including the $1.43 billion settlement in the Stryker Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation and the 3M Combat Earplug MDL. Her work has helped patients harmed by defective products and drugs like transvaginal mesh, Yaz, Actos, Vioxx, and hernia mesh, among others.

Beyond litigation, Genevieve dedicates significant time to pro bono efforts, from assisting survivors of the I-35W Bridge Collapse to representing victims of domestic violence and supporting immigrants in updating their documents.

She is a past member of the Board of Governors for the American Association for Justice. Genevieve has been rated by SuperLawyers as a Super Lawyer since 2014.
