Dangerous Drugs & Medical Devices

If you took a pharmaceutical drug that hurt you, or if you were the recipient of a medical device that instead of helping you deal with your health issue made things worse, you may have grounds to bring a product liability lawsuit. Your chance of winning your lawsuit will increase when you hire an experienced dangerous drugs  attorney with national experience. Our firm has represented numerous plaintiffs in individual and class action lawsuits who have been injured as a result of a variety of unsafe drugs and unsafe medical devices, including:

  • Propulsid
  • Vioxx
  • Sulzer hip and knee implants
  • Rezulin
  • Phen-fen
  • Vaginal slings

In most parts of the country, a plaintiff in a pharmaceutical or medical device products liability case must first prove that the drug or device is defective. For example, a claim against a pharmaceutical company can be based on the way the drug was created and tested, the way the drug was manufactured, and the way the drug was marketed. Marketing defects (improper instructions and failures to warn consumers about a dangerous aspect of the product) are particularly abundant in drug defect cases.
