Patients taking pharmaceutical medications expect to see improvement in their health, not deterioration.

Though some dangerous drugs have been recalled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or voluntarily recalled by their manufacturers, many others are still available.

Our defective drug attorneys have obtained millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients nationwide.

Drug manufacturers, pharmacists, and doctors have a responsibility to ensure that the drugs they prescribe their patients do not cause harm. Some drugs have dangerous side effects, while others have the potential to cause long-term damage. These drugs are often the subjects of later recalls. While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a regulatory role in approving and monitoring their safety after approval of a drug, the manufacturer is ultimately liable for any injuries from their medications.
