Defective drugs harm or kill thousands of people each year, and if you or a loved one have suffered injuries from a dangerous drug, contact us. Our network of lawyers provides premier legal assistance to clients who have suffered serious side effects from drugs such as Vioxx, Celebrex, Paxil, Avandia, Fosamax, Plavix and many others.

Simply because a drug has been approved by the FDA does not mean it is safe. Many drug labels (the information sheet that comes with your medicine) are revised to include additional warnings or even a "Black Box warning," after extensive studies or reports from patients reveal the risk of additional or more frequent dangerous side effects. The manufacturer of the drug, the doctor who prescribed it, the hospital, and/or even the pharmacy, may be held liable in dangerous drugs cases. For example, if a doctor prescribed a drug knowing that you would likely react to it, or prescribed a drug without being aware of the most up-to-date label, the doctor may be responsible for your injuries. On the other hand, drug manufacturers often try to hide information from consumers, and may be held responsible if a consumer is unknowingly prescribed a drug that can cause serious side effects or death.

Dangerous Drugs

There are a number of dangerous drugs still on the market today, as well as as many that have either been recalled or pulled from sale. If you or a loved one have suffered health problems resulting from the use of defective drugs may be entitled compensation. Among the drugs that have been withdrawn or recalled over the years are Fen-Phen (diet drugs), Vioxx (arthritis and pain medication), Baycol (cholesterol medicine), PPA (allergy and cold medicine), and such other products as Bausch & Lomb eye drops.

Victims who were injured as the result of inadequate warnings are entitled to compensation from the manufacturer and others whose negligence caused their injuries. If you or a loved on has been harmed as the result of using defective drugs, you should contact us immediately so that we can investigate your claim. Our lawyers will review your case and determine if you have a valid lawsuit; at times, we work with other attorneys on these cases to assure that every aspect of the case is investigated.
