Pharmaceutical Malpractice

California Defective Drug Injury

When drug manufacturers ignore studies and fail to report adverse effects of new medications such as antidepressants or statins (cholesterol lowering drugs), patients are sometimes seriously injured or die. The Pasadena defective drug lawyers at the pharmaceutical malpractice and consumer protection law firm of Ball & Roberts are committed to seeking justice for people who have suffered severely as a result of drugmakers' negligence.

One only has to check the headlines or news reports to know that drug recalls are all too common. Manufacturers of dangerous drugs may be held liable for damages in a product liability lawsuit under the theory that it is their duty to ensure that the product they produce is reasonably safe. The following is a list of just a few of the more common drugs that have caused, or are suspected of causing, serious injury:

Accutane

Vioxx

Baycol

Rezulin

Bextra

Serevent

Tussionex

Yasmin

Celebrex

Actos

Adipex-P

Ultracet

Crestor

Tricor

Fastin

Serzone

Fen-Phen

Avandia

Aricept

Darvon

Ultram

Meridia

Singulair

Mobic


Doctors and pharmacists can be held responsible in a pharmaceutical malpractice lawsuit for medical complications and other injuries caused by improperly prescribed or administered drugs, failure to warn patients about serious or potentially fatal side effects, and severe drug interactions resulting in damages such as:
 
  • Kidney failure
  • Birth defect
  • Increased risk of heart attack
  • Muscle damage
  • Heart valve failure
  • Blood clots and stroke

 

If you suspect that a dangerous drug or prescription mistake caused serious injury or wrongful death, there are two things you should do: First, save all remaining medications, receipts, prescriptions or other evidence that may be crucial to your case; and second, contact Ball & Roberts today to schedule a free consultation with a knowledgeable pharmaceutical malpractice attorney.
