PHARMACEUTICAL INJURY

An Ounce of Prevention is better than a Pound of Cure ?

Each year, thousands of people die from or are seriously injured by prescription and over-the-counter drugs they believe to be safe. Patients trust these defective drugs will not harm them because they have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or been prescribed by doctors or pharmacists they know and trust. But unfortunately, many of these defective drugs are inadequately tested or have insufficient warnings on their labels. Ultimately, they can lead to serious health ailments, from high blood pressure to acute liver failure.

Drug companies have a responsibility and obligation to consumers to assure that their drugs, medications and medical devices are safe when uses as intended.

Too often, a pharmaceutical company will create an unreasonably dangerous product by failing to properly research a drugs possible risks before placing it on the market.  In some cases unfortunately, drug companies are too eager to get a product to market.  In either event, the general public winds up being the unwitting guinea pig and risking signficant risk factors.

In suing a drug manufacturer for injuries caused by pharmaceuticals, the usual theories of products liability apply:

• Strict liability
• Negligence
• Breach of warranty

Drug manufacturers and drug-prescribing physicians hold positions of trust and should expect that if their negligence causes damage, they will be held responsible.
