Dangerous Drugs - Defective Drugs - Pharmaceutical Products Liability

If you took a pharmaceutical drug and it hurt you instead of helping you deal with your health issue, you may have grounds to bring a product liability lawsuit. Too often, drug companies put profits over the public's welfare. And the FDA, which is in place to protect the public from unsafe pharmaceuticals, often discovers the problem after the damage has been done. Our firm has represented individuals who have been injured as a result of a variety of unsafe drugs, including:

  • Acetaminophen Analgesic (Failure to Warn of Foreseeable Contra-indications)
  • Antihistamine (Foreseeable Adverse Reaction)
  • L-Tryptophan

In most parts of the country, a plaintiff in a pharmaceutical products liability case must first prove that the drug is defective. That 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 are particularly abundant in drug defect cases, and involve improper instructions and failures to warn consumers about a dangerous aspect of the product.

Proving that the pharmaceutical was defective is the most difficult and important aspect of a pharmaceutical products liability lawsuit. It requires the services of a variety of experts and a law firm with a history of handling defective drug cases, with experience it takes to effectively gather and organize the crucial information. At Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, we have the resources and experience it takes to successfully pursue a products liability action based on a defective or dangerous drug. Contact us today. We would be happy to discuss your case with you.
