Joseph Tyler Osborne

Weitz & Luxenberg is pleased to welcome Joseph Tyler Osborne to our defective drug and medical device team, this time as an attorney. Mr. Osborne served as a law clerk for our firm for nearly two years. After graduating from New York Law School in May 2022, and receiving his New York bar admission in March 2023, he accepted our offer to continue his law career with us. During his time as a law clerk, Mr. Osborne worked with our defective drug and medical device cases. These included the Exactech Polyethylene Orthopedic Products Liability litigation, Juul Labs, Inc. Marketing, Sales Practices & Products Liability Litigation, as well as the Stryker LFIT V40 Femoral Head Products Liability litigation. His daily work focuses on representing our clients suffering from pain and other issues with defective joint implants. While the Stryker litigation has largely settled, his legal work continues on our Exactech Knee and Hip implant products liability litigaton. Mr. Osborne is seeking justice for clients harmed by excessive polyethylene wear of the Exactech Optetrak, Truliant, and Connexion GXL polyethylene liners. In the Exactech case, these injuries include swelling, pain, limited mobility, device loosening, and osteolysis. These injuries are due to implant failures. The failures are requiring our clients to undergo revision surgery in their hips and knees.“W&L is helping clients by truly looking out for their best interests,” says Mr. Osborne. “I genuinely love my work. It is unbelievable to me that I will get to continue to work with W&L as an attorney and help thousands of people.” He emphasizes, “I am passionate about what we do and want to continue to put out good work. I will use my education and experience to make a difference and strive to be an asset to the firm and our clients.”
