Dangerous Drugs
“Pharmaceutical liability” is a term used to describe the legal consequences a manufacturer of drugs may face if its products injure people. Cases involving injuries caused by drugs, medical devices and other pharmaceuticals are a subset of products liability cases. Plaintiffs can bring claims against the manufacturer based on theories of strict liability, negligence or for failing to warn about potentially dangerous side effects. In some states, however, a statute creates a single claim for product injuries, which may combine aspects of the two. A lawyer who has experience in pharmaceutical liability law can advise you about your rights and help you decide whether you can pursue a claim.
