Defective Pharmaceuticals

When a medication does the opposite of heal.

Pharmaceutical companies are not entitled to a benefit of the doubt when a drug they profited from causes harm. We take on the largest manufacturers in the country on behalf of the patients they let down.

What it means

Defective pharmaceuticals, in plain English.

When a drug causes serious harm the manufacturer knew — or should have known — was possible, the patient is entitled to accountability. These cases usually turn on what the label warned, when the company learned of the risk, and whether that risk was hidden from prescribers.

Known risk

A serious side effect the science tied to the drug.

Inadequate warning

A label that understated or omitted the risk to doctors and patients.

Documented harm

A diagnosis, treatment, or hospitalization linked to the medication.

  • You have pharmacy records showing the prescription and dosage.

  • Your medical team has connected the diagnosis to the medication.

  • The claim is within the applicable statute of limitations.
