Every year, thousands of people take FDA-approved medications prescribed by doctors, only to later discover that these drugs contain harmful chemicals leading to severe health complications. From life-threatening organ damage to long-term disabilities, dangerous drugs can have devastating consequences for patients and their families.
While pharmaceutical companies are often responsible for manufacturing and marketing defective drugs, doctors and healthcare providers can also be held liable if they negligently prescribe, overprescribe, or fail to warn patients about potential risks.
Our firm specializes in dangerous drug claims and understands the complex nature of these cases. If you or a loved one has suffered due to a harmful medication, our attorneys are ready to fight for your rights.
Failure to Disclose Side Effects
Some pharmaceutical companies hide known risks from consumers to boost sales.
Contaminated Medications
Drugs manufactured in unsafe conditions can become tainted with harmful substances.
Improper Testing
Inadequate clinical trials and rushed approvals can lead to unsafe medications hitting the market.
False Advertising
Some drugs are promoted for unapproved or off-label uses without proper safety evaluations.
If you suspect that a prescription medication has caused harm to you or a loved one, taking immediate action is crucial:
Seek Medical Attention: Consult a healthcare professional to document your condition and prevent further harm.
Keep Your Prescription Records: Preserve medication bottles, receipts, and doctor’s notes related to the drug.
Consult an Attorney: Speak with experienced dangerous drug lawyers before signing anything from the pharmaceutical company or their insurers.
Act Quickly: Dangerous drug claims are time-sensitive, and waiting too long may affect your ability to file a lawsuit.
The opioid crisis has devastated families across the country. Many pharmaceutical companies misled the public about the addictive nature of opioids, leading to widespread addiction, overdoses, and deaths. Additionally, some doctors have been found guilty of overprescribing these drugs irresponsibly. If you or a loved one has been harmed by prescription opioids, we can help you pursue justice.
The damage caused by opioids extends beyond addiction. Many patients suffer from severe withdrawal symptoms, long-term health complications, and loss of livelihood. Families are left to cope with the financial and emotional burdens of addiction and, in some tragic cases, fatal overdoses. Our legal team is dedicated to holding both drug manufacturers and negligent doctors accountable for their role in this crisis.
Certain diabetes and weight loss drugs have been connected to heart disease, kidney failure, and even cancer. If you’ve experienced severe side effects from these medications, our team will fight to get you the compensation you deserve from both the drug manufacturers and negligent doctors.
In addition to these severe complications, some diabetes and weight loss drugs have been found to cause sudden and severe drops in blood sugar, leading to seizures or comas. Many patients were prescribed these drugs without proper warnings about the potential risks. If you or a loved one has suffered due to one of these medications, we will work to hold those responsible accountable for their negligence.
Some medical devices, such as pacemakers or insulin pumps, when combined with certain medications, can cause catastrophic harm. Drug interactions may amplify side effects or result in dangerous complications. If you’ve been injured due to defective medical devices or dangerous drug interactions, we can help you pursue justice against the responsible parties.
Some blood-thinning medications have been linked to life-threatening internal bleeding and strokes. These medications require careful monitoring to ensure they are working correctly and not causing harm. Unfortunately, some doctors fail to adjust dosages or recognize warning signs of excessive bleeding, putting patients at serious risk.
Many antidepressants and other mental health medications have been linked to serious side effects such as suicidal thoughts, violent behavior, and severe withdrawal symptoms. If you or a loved one has experienced life-altering side effects due to these drugs, our legal team is ready to take action and seek compensation for the harm caused by these medications.
Filing a dangerous drug lawsuit begins with an initial consultation, where your attorney will assess the details of your case, including the drug involved and the injuries suffered. If you choose to proceed, the attorney will conduct an investigation, gathering medical records and evidence to determine any negligence or wrongdoing.
After this, the lawsuit is filed, outlining the allegations and seeking damages. Next, the discovery phase begins, where both sides exchange information and evidence. During this time, your lawyer will negotiate for a settlement.
If a fair settlement isn’t reached, the case may go to trial, where both sides present their evidence before a judge and jury. If necessary, there may be an appeals process following the trial. Throughout this process, an experienced attorney will guide you, helping you navigate the complexities of the legal system and pursue the compensation you deserve.
