Defective Drug Lawyer
The pharmaceutical industry generates billions of dollars in America, however defective drugs cause thousands and thousands of injuries and fatalities each year. In fact, more deaths occur from adverse reactions to defective drugs than from illegal drugs. Before a pharmaceutical drug can be sold in this country, it must be approved and monitored by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Unfortunately, the FDA does not guarantee that a drug is safe or risk-free. Furthermore, pharmaceutical companies often disregard or minimize the potential health risks of their drugs in order to be more profitable. Regrettably, the consequences are usually very harmful when millions of people end up taking defective drugs without proper warnings. Those who have been injured, on the other hand, have legal rights against pharmaceutical companies liable for the harm caused by these defective drugs.
Pharmaceutical Liability is a type of claim filed when a pharmaceutical company’s defective drug causes harm to a person. In some cases, the drug manufacturer can be held liable for selling a defective drug, failing to use reasonable care in ensuring a drug’s safety and even for acting in a criminally negligent manner. Some states have created their own ‘Pharmaceutical Liability’ statutes, which govern the way an injured party can recover for damages against the manufacturer of a defective drug. Accordingly, it is important that an attorney fully understands the complex issues in both science and law that arise in defective drug cases. If you or someone you love has been injured a result of a defective drug, please consult with an experienced attorney immediately in order to avoid any deadlines related to your case.
