These are just some of the reasons why you should seek legal representation from a lawyer who is knowledgeable about dangerous drugs whenever you can.

Pharmaceuticals

Thousands of people are injured or killed each year due to exposure to dangerous medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceutical companies are under pressure to bring their products out on the market as quickly as possible.

A dangerous drug case could involve any medication. This includes prescription and over-the-counter drugs. However, the majority of these claims are based on prescription drugs and the manner in which they are prescribed or dispensed to patients by physicians or hospitals.

In these instances, the medication may be prescribed for an off-label use or given by a hospital or a pharmacy without properly examining the prescription or confirming that the patient's medical condition warrants the drug's administration. A doctor who prescribes a drug "off-label" or for non-approved uses could also be accountable.
