Ann M. Steinmetz
Ann is a 1991 graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Nursing. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in nursing, she spent nearly four years at the University of Virginia Medical Center, where she worked in the surgical intensive care unit, specializing in the care of trauma, general surgery and liver transplant patients.
She returned to the Rochester area in 1994 and worked at the University of Rochester Medical Center in the surgical intensive care unit before taking a position as a Liver Transplant Coordinator. Most recently, Ann spent eight years working in URMC’s Burn/Trauma ICU, where she cared for trauma, neurosurgical, general surgery, vascular and burn patients before accepting the position at Faraci Lange.
Ann’s extensive Critical Care experience lends itself strongly to the challenge of analyzing the merits of complex medically based medical malpractice, wrongful death and personal injury claims. Ann has been integrally involved in a number of highly complex medical malpractice, personal injury and product liability cases since joining Faraci Lange, LLP including the Vioxx litigation, a complex case involving the administration of the wrong thrombolytic agent to a stroke patient, a case involving the mismanagement of cervical spine trauma resulting in paralysis, a complicated case involving inappropriate use of multiple anticoagulants resulting in internal hemorrhage, a case involving the failure to diagnose and treat myocardial infarction in a 48 year old man and numerous surgical cases. Ann’s past experience has been of tremendous benefit to helping the attorneys master the technical aspects of these complex cases and many more.
