The effects of prescription drugs can lead to the payment of medical expenses, lost wages and reduced quality of living. A dangerous drug lawyer can help you pursue damages.

Prescription Drugs

While many people use prescription medication as prescribed by their physician, some drugs can have harmful side effects that aren't properly warned of or explained to the patient. These drugs may also cause serious harm to others, and an experienced York dangerous drug lawyer can help patients obtain the right amount of compensation for their injuries.

Prescription drug lawsuits can be complex however a skilled lawyer can help clients navigate the procedure. Seven out of ten Americans regularly use at least one prescription medication. Unfortunately, drug manufacturers can often conceal information about potentially dangerous side effects in order to get FDA approval. In addition, doctors could misuse prescription medications by prescribing them for off-label applications or in large dosages, which can cause injury and death.

Most commonly abused prescription medications include painkillers (which can have a high potential for abuse) as well as central nervous system depressants, such as benzodiazepines, such a Xanax or Valium as well as stimulants like Ritalin or Adderall. Many people misuse these drugs in order to feel high, or to relieve anxiety or depressive symptoms. Misuse can include sharing prescription medications with family members or friends or taking them at a different dose than prescribed.

Additionally, prescription drugs are extremely risky for toddlers and infants. Birth defects, respiratory depression, sudden death from overdose, and digestive problems are the most common dangers. These problems can occur when you take a medication prescribed to treat a health issue, like allergies or an ear infection.

A skilled dangerous drug lawyer could identify and contact all culpable parties to obtain the maximum amount of compensation for injuries.

Over-the-counter drugs

We often think of illegal drugs when we think of the abuse of drugs, but legally-approved medicines may also be dangerous for the user. Certain people are allergic or suffer adverse side effects from certain medications. Some of these problems could be fatal.

Over-the-counter medicines are those 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 manufacturer will recognize that a medication is dangerous or even deadly and issue recalls. However, it's usually too late for many victims who have already experienced serious health issues.

The FDA evaluates the safety of all medications before they are approved for sale. Unfortunately, some pharmaceutical companies don't do enough to ensure their drugs are safe for the consumer. Some drug manufacturers fail to include important warnings or ignore reports from both doctors and consumers regarding harmful effects.

Medical Devices

Many suffer harm from faulty medical devices, like robotic surgical equipment, implants that have become infected or eroded or isn't able to fulfill its purpose. These issues are usually due to inadequate design, manufacturing, or testing. Similar to drugs, the FDA examines these devices to ensure their safety and efficacy prior to their introduction into the body 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).

When someone is injured by a hazardous drug, device or other substance, they are often afflicted with long-term and serious consequences to their health, such as limb loss, organ failures, mental illness, and severe pain and suffering. These injuries can result in financial losses, which include loss of wages and earning potential.

This is different from other personal injury claims like car accident cases where it is much easier to demonstrate that the defendant's actions caused your injuries, including physical injuries or emotional distress.

In the majority of cases, dangerous medical device and drug lawsuits are filed as medical negligence or product liability lawsuits depending on the specifics of your particular situation. Multidistrict litigation may be used in cases where multiple patients are injured by the same medication.

Unfortunately, drug companies do not always conduct adequate testing of their drugs and often market their products to patients who are not aware of little or any evidence of their dangers. In some instances they are approved by the FDA after they've been shown to cause serious side effects in other patients, like if the medicine interacts poorly with another medication patients take or when it is used for off-label purposes (something not covered by the original FDA approval). These are just some of the reasons why you should seek legal representation from a lawyer who is knowledgeable about dangerous drugs as soon as possible.

Pharmaceuticals

Each year thousands of people are injured or killed by dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and medical equipment. Pharmaceutical companies have a strong incentive to bring their products to market quickly, which could mean that adverse side effects are brushed aside or that new ingredients aren't rigorously test. If this leads to injuries in patients and devices, the drug or manufacturer could be held accountable for those injuries. The lawyers at Sullivan & Brill are currently involved in numerous multi-district litigation cases involving defective pharmaceuticals.

A risky drug case could include any drug. This includes prescription and non-prescription drugs. However, many of these cases concern prescription drugs and the manner in which they are prescribed or dispensed to patients by physicians or hospitals.

In these instances it is possible that a prescription been issued for a usage that is not approved by the FDA, or the medication could have been administered without a proper scan of the prescription or a confirmation that the patient's medical condition warrants its use. A doctor who prescribes a medication "off-label" or for unapproved uses could also be accountable.

Dangerous drugs could also be the result an issue with the manufacturing process, or because a drug was contaminated with carcinogens that have been identified in its manufacturing and distribution.
