Attorney Karen Barth Menzies represents the survivors of sexual assault, and she advocates for women’s health causes. For more than 25 years, Karen has litigated in federal and state courts throughout the country, and she has served as lead counsel, liaison counsel, and as a member of plaintiff steering committees for some of the largest pharmaceutical and medical device mass tort cases. She has been involved in litigation involving The Boy Scouts of America sexual abuse lawsuit, and she represents women suffering permanent baldness following breast cancer treatments with Taxotere.
Recently, Karen has emerged as a leader in litigating sexual assault claims that have been made viable because of legislation in New York and California that has impacted the statutes of limitation, allowing survivors with previously documented claims to pursue justice in the civil courts. Beyond simply holding predators liable for their crimes, Karen is dedicated to taking on the industries and institutions that silence survivors and foster and protect the sexual predators within their ranks.
As a plaintiff advocate, Karen has testified twice before FDA Advisory Boards as well as the California State Legislature on the safety concerns regarding SSRI antidepressants and the manufacturers’ misconduct. She has also advised victim advocacy groups in their efforts to inform governmental agencies and legislative bodies of harm caused by corporations.
