According to FDA reports, nearly 1.3 million people were hospitalized and 124,000 died due to adverse drug effects in 2014.

Before a drug can be sold to consumers, it must first be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Because of this, FDA approval may appear to mean a medication is safe for anyone to use. Unfortunately, this isn’t always true. For example, a drug may be approved for use by adults but not children.
Furthermore, the FDA does not conduct its own tests to determine whether a drug is safe. Instead, the agency relies on drug companies to test the effectiveness and potential risks of the drugs they develop. The FDA then reviews the results of those tests before deciding whether to approve them or not.
Test results may be skewed by an inadequate sample size and/or testing period length, or through deliberate concealment or manipulation of results by companies more interested in profit than consumer health.
Defects can also be discovered months or years after drugs are initially approved, causing the people who take them to develop severe complications and health problems.
Drug injuries can result from a variety of factors, including:

In most cases, the pharmaceutical company is considered the responsible party in a defective drug lawsuit. While a doctor or pharmacist may be considered liable for failure to provide adequate warning of a drug’s risks, prescribing the incorrect dosage, or prescribing a drug for a use for which it has not been approved by the FDA, those mistakes are often pursued via medical malpractice claims rather than defective product claims.
If you or someone you love suffered from a drug-related injury or health complication, we can collect evidence that proves you were improperly or insufficiently warned of potential risks. Then, we’ll do everything in our power to hold the negligent drug manufacturer liable for your injuries.
If we don’t win your case, then you pay us nothing. At Brian Hodgkiss Injury Lawyers, we don’t believe that the inability to pay upfront legal fees should prevent a victim from seeking the compensation they deserve for injuries caused by a company’s negligence.
