Pharmaceutical & Medical Device Litigation
When Big Pharma Endangers Patients, We Are There to Fight Back
Each year, thousands of people are seriously injured by or die from prescription and over-the-counter drugs they believe to be safe. In fact, adverse reactions to prescription and over-the-counter drugs are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. This is unacceptable—yet it continues.
Likewise, people who rely on medical devices to help with issues ranging from birth control to monitoring would-be fatal conditions often undergo surgery to implant such a device. When something goes wrong, they can face serious internal injury and lasting complications.
When the companies that make and sell these products either fail to test them or withhold information from doctors and patients, they are putting people’s lives directly at risk. This is unacceptable. It’s why our pharmaceutical and medical device litigators at Shrader & Associates, L.L.P. keep fighting. We are here to protect patients—so if you have been injured by a product that promised to improve your health, reach out to our team to learn how we can help.
When Is a Prescription Drug Dangerous?
People decide whether to trust pharmaceuticals or medical devices based on whether they have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and whether their doctor has recommended or prescribed them. Unfortunately, neither the FDA nor doctors know everything about each product.
Pharmaceutical or drug companies are responsible for the research and development of their products, a clear conflict of interest. The FDA monitors the safety of pharmaceutical products but can only spot dangerous trends after a drug has been released. If a manufacturer failed to adequately test a product or falsified results, they may be working off incomplete information.
Our attorneys have helped patients harmed by drugs and devices including:
- Accutane
- Crestor
- Fosamax
- Hernia Mesh
- IVC Filters
- Permax
- ReNu
- Transvaginal Mesh (TVM)
- Truvada
If you or a loved one experienced serious and unexpected side effects or complications due to one of these products, you may be able to file a claim for compensation.
Take a Stand Against Dishonest Pharmaceutical Companies
Lawsuits involving pharmaceutical companies are often described as “big-time” litigation because the defendants aren’t afraid to spend big to fight back. However, our team has taken on many multinational, billion-dollar corporations before—and we’re not afraid to do it again.
Despite what some people think, there is a way to win against these corporations. You can receive justice and compensation to help you through the challenges you’ve faced due to the defective drug or product. In some cases, bringing numerous lawsuits has forced companies to add warnings or even discontinue products. Having your story heard does matter, and we can help you make it happen.
If a defective pharmaceutical product has injured you, contacting a dangerous drug attorney is the first step in protecting your rights. We are here to answer your questions and guide you through your next steps in the search for justice.
