Eva Canaan’s practice focuses on the strategic development and coordination of the scientific defense in pharmaceutical and medical device products liability litigation. In addition to her law degree, Eva holds a Masters in Epidemiology from Columbia University. Eva is adept at challenging expert witness testimony in depositions and Daubert briefs in federal and state courts.
Eva focuses on making complex scientific concepts accessible to judges and juries. She routinely works with experts in a variety of scientific disciplines, including epidemiology, toxicology, teratology, and clinical medicine. Going beyond bottom-line conclusions, Eva aggressively interrogates the data and methodology of studies and reports, often exposing flaws and weaknesses glossed over by the authors and plaintiffs’ experts. She has deposed plaintiffs’ main causation experts and drafted Daubert and Frye briefs in high-stakes litigations affecting hundreds of cases. Eva follows the epidemiological literature related to her clients’ products – both in and outside of the litigation context -- and provides real-time analyses and risk-assessments to her clients.
