Medford Dangerous Drugs Lawyer

Legally speaking, dangerous drugs are prescription medications that can cause injury and even death. For many years, the pharmaceutical industry has recalled drugs that were proven to cause injury and death to patients.

The Medford dangerous drugs lawyer represents people and families who were harmed by these dangerous drugs. Contact a compassionate injury attorney today to begin your claim.

Rushed to Market by Pharmaceutical Companies

Pharmaceutical companies are required to test the effectiveness of their drugs and the potential dangers the drug may pose to patients. These drug trials are largely run by the drug company itself, so it is easy for an eager manufacturer to overlook or ignore dangers and rush a drug to market.

When patients begin to turn up at hospitals, the Medford dangerous drugs attorney fights for information on the drug and why it is causing so much harm.

Inadequate Warnings of Dangerous Interactions

Some drugs pass reasonably good drug trials and enter the market, but harm only a percentage of patients. These drugs were sold without adequate warnings from the drug companies about the harm they cause to people with certain pre-existing illnesses or conditions.

They may also only harm people when they are prescribed with other drugs, that when taken together, cause an adverse reaction leading to injury or death.

In these cases, the Medford dangerous drug attorney has recovered monetary settlements from drug manufacturers for their negligence in failing to warn of dangers.

Laws Governing Bad Drugs

New Jersey law imposes strict liability on drug manufacturers who introduce dangerous drugs to the public. A dangerous drugs lawyer in Medford would need to prove that the drug as manufactured was dangerous and that the drug caused injury to the plaintiff.

The dangerous drugs lawyer does not need to prove the drug manufacturer knew the drug was dangerous, only that it manufactured the drug, sold it to patients, and the drug caused the harm claimed.

• Bravelle
• Invokana
• Risperdal
• Xarelto
