Medical Injury Lawyer &
Medical Injury Lawsuits
What you need to know about lawsuit process.
A medical injury lawyer is needed to navigate the complex litigation process following an injury from an unsafe drug, medical device, or dangerous product.
Unsafe drugs, defective medical devices
and dangerous products
Every year in the United States unsafe drugs and defective medical devices wreak havoc on the lives of unsuspecting patients, causing serious injuries resulting in corrective surgeries and in some cases, death. Medicine is meant to cure us, not harm us; unfortunately some manufacturers design their products with the singular focus of profit. In their attempts to maximize profits and rush products to market, manufacturers cut corners, speed up clinical trials, or fail to conduct them at all; circumvent approvals, and provide misleading or false warnings and labels. To make matters worse, complications discovered during clinical research are sometimes intentionally withheld.
When this type of negligence is displayed by the pharmaceutical giants that manufacture these medical products, consumers tend to be on the receiving end, suffering serious illness, injury and even death. Drugs such as Zofran or Risperdal and devices such as hernia mesh and knee replacements that are meant to improve your health and overall quality of life can cause chronic pain and other serious health issues.
We understand that it is an overwhelming task to take on these companies, but do not let that intimidate you. Our attorneys will work diligently to protect your rights and ensure that you are not taken advantage of by pharmaceutical companies. We currently represent clients in defective drug, dangerous product, and medical device cases that involve a variety of pharmaceutical drugs and devices across the country, including:
