Dangerous Drugs and Defective Medical Devices

Lawsuits resulting from dangerous prescription drugs are one of the fastest growing types of personal injury cases involving serious injury or death. Drug companies, in their rush to get new drugs to market, often withhold or misrepresent important safety information before, during and after clinical trials and the FDA approval process or other licensing procedures. Drug makers have a great responsibility to the public yet evidence has shown that this responsibility is continually neglected.

When drug companies neglect or just ignore their duty to the public, the result can be catastrophic and their defective drugs have resulted in the death or injury of thousands of people in some cases.

In addition to dangerous prescription drugs, many people are injured or forced to suffer unnecessary pain due to defective medical devices. Devices that have been found to be defective include: Hip Replacements, Knee Replacements, Pacemakers, Defibrillators, Stents and Breast Implants.
