Pharmaceutical Litigation – Defective Drugs
Despite drug safety efforts by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), every year thousands of Americans suffer serious injury and death from the use of dangerous prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and other healthcare products. Defective or unsafe medications can cause heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, birth defects and other serious health problems. When these injuries occur, pharmaceutical companies may be held responsible for damages they have caused.
Pharmaceutical companies are required by the FDA to conduct testing on all new drugs, then disclose side effects and other dangers of the drugs to the FDA, healthcare professionals and consumers. Unfortunately, many of these pharmaceutical products are inadequately tested or have insufficient warnings on their labels and their use may cause severe injury or death. If you or a loved one is injured or killed by defective or unsafe drugs, you can bring a claim against the responsible pharmaceutical company to compensate you for your financial losses, and pain and suffering.
Pharmaceutical litigation refers to claims filed against the manufacturers of pharmaceutical products, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines and other healthcare products. If you have been injured due to the use of a dangerous pharmaceutical product and would like to know what your legal options are, contact the law firm of Marco Palumbo to speak with one of our Pharmaceutical Litigation Attorneys.
