Defective Drugs Overview
Can drugs be a source of injury?
Pharmaceutical injury or drug injury refers to the harm caused due to the use of a pharmaceutical product. These days the markets are flooded with new drugs. These drugs, often seen as miracle treatments or even cures, do offer benefits to people but also may have side-effects with the potential to cause serious injuries and in some cases even death.
Why does this happen?
The huge potential profits involved in drug sales and the high costs of developing new drugs (averaging $250 million or more) lead many pharmaceutical companies to rush through the testing phase of a drug, often compromising on the norms set by law, so that they can get it on the market before anyone else. (A patent gives the drug company a monopoly on that medication, allowing drug companies to charge disproportionately high prices and gain huge profits). The result is pharmaceutical injury amongst many users.
Make the right choice
If you or a family member has suffered any harm following the use of a pharmaceutical product, you should look for professional legal help to get the appropriate reimbursement.
Drug companies invest hundreds of millions of dollars in protecting their interests, so it is critical to find an attorney who specializes in dealing with pharmaceutical/drug injuries.
Make sure that the lawyer who pursues your case has the resources and the courage to fight against big pharmaceutical companies to ensure that you receive justice and appropriate compensation for the drug injury.
