It is reasonable for patients to assume that medications prescribed to them by will have a positive effect on their health: certainly, medications provided by trusted physicians should not cause patients harm. Unfortunately, every year thousands of people die or sustain serious health consequences as a result of defective or unsafe medications. Often, drugs that are found to pose serious, previously unknown side effects or that pose a potential for long-term damage are recalled and removed from the market. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is tasked with regulating the safety of all medications used in the United States, but the ultimate responsibility for unsafe or defective drugs lies with the manufacturer.
When defective or unsafe drugs injure patients, the attorneys at Allen Law Firm and Mark & Associates, P.C. work to hold negligent pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers, distributors, and marketers accountable. Our attorneys have successfully defended injured patients and their families in cases involving a number of medications. Some of the most common defective drug claims in the United States concern the following medications:
If you or someone you love has been negatively affected by a recalled or defective drug, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact the attorneys at Allen Law Firm and Mark & Associates, P.C. to have your claim reviewed immediately.
Medical devices that fail to work properly can cause patients to suffer catastrophic injuries or even death. In some cases, such as those involving defective pacemakers or stents that are surgically implanted, additional operations are needed to replace faulty medical devices. In many cases, risks to patients are greater with second surgeries and success rates may be significantly lower. In most defective medical device cases handled by Allen Law Firm and Mark & Associates, P.C., the manufacturer is held responsible for harm caused to patients. However, in some cases, the sellers, distributors, or marketers of a defective device can also be held accountable.
Some common sources for defective medical device lawsuits include:
Medical devices are submitted to rigorous testing before they are deemed safe for use. However, sometimes new dangers and risks to patients become evident once the device is in use, and a recall may be issued. Tragically, medical device recalls are often issued too late to benefit many patients who have already suffered. If you believe a defective medical device caused you or a loved one harm, contact the attorneys at Allen Law Firm and Mark & Associates, P.C. : we can help hold negligent parties responsible for your damages.
When a drug is improperly prescribed, insufficiently tested, or causes severe side effects, patients suffer dire consequences.
