Suffered severe injury or death from prescription drugs? Get a free case evaluation from an experienced attorney.
There are many dangerous drugs on the market which can cause serious side effects, long-term damage and death. Despite the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) best efforts, dangerous drug lawsuits are filed against drug makers every day.
The FDA regulates the approval of prescription drugs before they can be sold and generally requires drug makers to take comprehensive measures to ensure that their products are safe. This can include clinical trials, studies and comparisons to similar drugs on the market. Unfortunately, these measures aren't always exhaustive and the data which results isn't always accurate – leaving consumers at risk of injury or death.
While the FDA is responsible for a drug's final approval, it is drug manufacturers who are ultimately responsible for the safety and efficacy of the drugs they put into the marketplace. When a dangerous drug or defective drug causes injuries or death, manufacturers can – and should – be held responsible for their actions.
According to drug injury lawyers who help those injured by defective drugs, many pharmaceutical companies simply put profits over consumer safety by failing to take comprehensive measures to ensure that their product is safe or to disclose known defects or side effects. While drug manufacturers may later issue a defective drug warning or institute a defective drug recall, neither action helps those who have already been injured.
If you or a family member has been injured by a dangerous drug, contact an experienced drug recall lawyer to discuss your situation, evaluate your options and determine whether you might be entitled to compensation including lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering and more. In many cases, injured consumers do not need to prove that the manufacturer was negligent – only that they took the drug as intended and were injured as a direct result. Keep in mind that every state has a statute of limitations, or time limit, in which a drug injury lawsuit must be filed.
When drug injury lawsuits arise, rest assured that a pharmaceutical company will have a team of lawyers to represent its best interests. Make sure you have someone to represent yours.
