Compensation for injuries resulting from prescription drugs may cover losses like medical expenses, lost wages and diminished quality of life. A skilled dangerous drug attorney can help you pursue these damages.

Prescription Drugs

Many people take prescription medications as prescribed by their doctor However, some medications can cause dangerous side effects which are not always clearly explained or notified to the patient. These drugs can also cause harm to others. An experienced York dangerous drug lawyer can help patients recover compensation for their injuries.

Prescription drug lawsuits can be complex but an experienced lawyer can help clients navigate the procedure. Seven out of ten Americans regularly use at least one prescription drug. Unfortunately, drug companies can hide information about side effects that could be harmful in order to obtain FDA approval. In addition, doctors can abuse prescription drugs by prescribing them to non-approved uses or in excessive dosages, which can cause injuries and even death.

Most commonly used prescription medications that are abused include painkillers (which can have a high possibility of abuse) as well as central nervous system depressants, such as benzodiazepines, like Xanax or Valium and stimulants like Ritalin or Adderall. Many people abuse these drugs to gain a high or as a way to relieve depression or anxiety. Misuse can include sharing prescription medications with family members or friends, or taking them at an amount that is different from the prescribed.

Prescription drugs can also be harmful for infants and toddlers. The most frequent dangers are birth defects, respiratory depression, sudden death due to overdose, as well as gastrointestinal tract problems. These problems can result from taking medications prescribed for a different health issue, such as allergies or ear infections.

The injured party may file a claim if a dangerous prescription medication causes injury or death. A successful claim could provide compensation for intangible and tangible losses, such as physical pain, emotional distress, loss of life's pleasures and medical expenses.

Over-the-counter drugs

When we think of abuse of drugs We tend to concentrate on illicit drugs. However, legitimate medicines are also risky. Certain people are allergic to or have adverse reactions to certain drugs. Unfortunately, a lot of these issues could be fatal.

Over-the-counter medications are those that you can purchase without the need for a prescription. However, they are subject to the supervision of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Sometimes the FDA or a drug maker will realize that a medicine is dangerous or even deadly and issue a recall. Unfortunately, this is often too late for some patients who have already experienced serious health problems.

The FDA reviews the safety of all medications before they hit the market. Unfortunately some pharmaceutical companies don't take the necessary steps to ensure that their products are safe for consumers. Pharmaceutical companies may not include important warnings on their label, or they may ignore reports of adverse side adverse effects from patients and doctors alike.

Medical Devices

Faulty medical devices could cause harm to a number of people. They include implants, robotic surgery equipment that are infected by bacteria or damaged by time, or a device which isn't able to fulfill its purpose. These problems are usually due to poor design, manufacturing, and/or testing. Similar to drugs, the FDA reviews these products to determine their safety and efficacy prior to being placed in the bodies of patients. Depending on the severity of the issue, these devices may be classified as Class I (low risk), Class II (intermediate risk), or Class III (highly critical/life-sustaining).

If someone is injured by a hazardous drug or device the person often suffers long-term and serious health consequences, such as organ failure, loss of limbs, mental illness, or extreme suffering and pain. These injuries can cause financial losses too including loss of earnings and potential future earnings.

In these cases the case, an NYC dangerous drugs lawyer can help make the responsible parties accountable. This includes the pharmaceutical company and the doctors who prescribed the medication, and pharmacists who administered the medication.

These claims are a bit complicated and require expert testimony from a medical professional to demonstrate how the drugs affected your body, resulting in injuries. This is different from other personal injury cases like a car crash, where it's easier to prove that the defendant caused your injuries, including physical injuries or mental distress.

Medical device and dangerous drug cases are usually filed as medical malpractice lawsuits, based on the particular circumstances of your situation. Moreover, if a large number of individuals are harmed by the same medication, multiple lawsuits might be filed under what is known as multidistrict litigation.

Unfortunately, drug companies don't always test their medications properly and market the drugs to patients who aren't aware of having a complete understanding of the dangers. In some instances the FDA has approved these medications after they have been proven to cause serious adverse reactions in other patients. This is often the case when the medication interacts badly with another drug a patient is taking or if it is taken off-label (something that is not covered by the FDA's initial approval). Here are a few reasons why you should get legal counsel as soon as you can.

Pharmaceuticals

Thousands of people suffer injuries or even death each year due to exposure to harmful pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices. Pharmaceutical companies are under pressure to bring their products on the market as soon as they can. This can result in the downplaying of adverse side effects or the absence of rigorous testing for new ingredients. If this causes injuries to patients and their loved ones, the drug or manufacturer of the device can be held liable for those injuries. Sullivan & Brill attorneys are currently involved in a variety of multi-district lawsuits involving defective pharmaceuticals.

A risky drug case could be involving any medication. This includes prescription and over-the counter drugs. A majority of these claims are related to prescription drugs and how they are prescribed or administered by doctors or hospitals.

In these situations the medication could have been prescribed for a non-approved use or given by a pharmacy or hospital without proper scanning of the prescription or verifying that the patient's condition warrants the medication's administration. A doctor who prescribes drugs "off-label", or for purposes that are not approved, may be held accountable.

Dangerous drugs could be the result of an error in manufacturing or because a product was contaminated by carcinogens that were identified during its production and distribution. You could be entitled to compensation if you have suffered a serious injury because of a defective pharmaceutical.
