Let Our Experienced Jackson, MS Dangerous Drugs Attorneys Help Today

Before being released to the general public, over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs should undergo tests to guarantee efficacy and safety. Unfortunately, this testing is not always comprehensive and allows for distributing unsafe medications that can cause significant consumer damage.

Even with the FDA overseeing the approval process, defective drugs and medical devices continue to be released to the public and cause thousands of preventable injuries and fatalities each year. Examples of drugs with significantly dangerous side effects include Viagra, Prilosec, Nexium, and Valsartan. Unfortunately, many people take dangerous drugs without being told about the possible harmful effects. When this happens, victims have the right to pursue compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages due to using the defective product.

If you or a loved one has injuries from prescription drugs or any medication, you need to speak with a Jackson, Mississippi lawyer with experience in mass tort cases. Unsafe medications can have devastating consequences for unsuspecting patients, who often suffer adverse effects from drugs intended to help them recover from illness or injury.

Product Liability and Unsafe Drugs

A product liability claim is a lawsuit filed against a company for injuries caused by its products. Manufacturers and distributors of goods may be liable in product liability cases if they sell defective items to customers. A product may be faulty in its manufacturing, design, or marketing. Inadequate labeling, warnings, or instructions for use are all examples of marketing flaws.

What Injuries Can Happen If You Take an Unsafe Drug?

The following are side effects of dangerous drugs on the market:

  • Bleeding and hemorrhaging
  • Blindness
  • Blood clots and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • Cancer
  • Congenital disabilities
  • Gastrointestinal issues
  • Heart failure
  • Physical abnormalities
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Stroke

Can I File a Wrongful Death Claim Due to an Unsafe Medication?

It’s not unusual for patients to die due to hazardous medicines and faulty medical devices. When deadly drug injuries result in the death of a patient, surviving family members have the right to file a wrongful death claim. This lawsuit allows the surviving family members to get justice for their deceased loved one, hold responsible parties accountable, and seek compensation for future expenses.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Lawyer for a Dangerous Drug Case?
