The article describes Higgins and Lubin & Meyer as "an industry leader."
“Improving any system requires change, which in turn requires leadership, and that is where we excel,” said Higgins, who obtained three of the top five verdicts of 2014 — $4.8 million in a undiagnosed myocarditis case, $11 million in a case where a doctor failed to diagnose lung cancer, and $7 million in a lawsuit where a tonsillectomy resulted in the death of a 38-year-old man.

They are one of the leading causes of death in this country, and as a firm, it is not only our mission to achieve maximum compensation for our clients, but also to ensure patient safety for the general public.” — Robert M. HigginsHiggins, firm founder Andrew Meyer, and their colleagues at Lubin & Meyer (all five partners are selected for inclusion in the 2015 edition of New England's Best Lawyers) are known as relentless advocates for the rights of injured patients. By calling for a better standard of care, they have exposed the lack of quality treatment available at many institutions and, in the process, helped create safer hospital environments.
