Drug and Pharmaceutical
Drug companies are supposed to make sure that their drugs, medications and medical devices are reasonably safe when used as intended. Too often, a srug company will put profits over safety and create an unreasonably dangerous product by failing to properly research a drug's possible risks before placing it in the stream of commerce. In some cases, the drug companies will even hide bad information on the drug from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In such instances, without being warned in advance of the drug, human beings serve as unwitting guinea pigs. A drug's approval by the is not a guarantee of its safety and will not shield a drug manufacturer from liability.
Each year, thousands of Americans are injured or killed as the result of taking dangerous prescription drugs. Many of these drugs are later pulled off the market by the FDA but not until it is too late for many people. If you suspect that a drug that you or a loved one has taken has caused injury, illness or death, see if the drug has been recalled. Talk to the doctor or pharmacist that prescribed the medication. The FDA has a website devoted to providing information on drug recalls, market withdrawals and safety alerts.

Your next stop is to contact a lawyer that handles these types of cases. We have worked on many cases involving drugs that have been recalled or found to be harmful and defective. Sometimes we network and associate with lawyers from other states, so we can combine resources to take on the powerful drug companies. Selecting the right lawyer with experience in drug cases is most important.
