Each day, thousands of people are injured by dangerous and defective drugs. Some of these drugs are over-the-counter medications, and others are prescription medications. Pharmacists and doctors can be held liable under a medical malpractice theory if drugs are prescribed without obtaining a sufficient medical history to ensure that contraindications do not occur. In other cases, people are injured every year from drug products that should never have been put on the market.
Drug companies that fail to thoroughly test new drugs and then pressure the FDA to approve them should be held accountable for placing their profits before the well-being of consumers. At Bednarz & Bednarz, our attorneys in Hendersonville, TN, believe that it is not acceptable when these actions lead to someone being injured or killed.
Dangerous Drugs and Medical Device Lawsuits
Vioxx, Celebrex, Bextra, and other similar drugs have been linked to numerous harmful and potentially lethal side effects, such as heart attack and stroke. We help consumers who suffer serious injury or death from products that were initially designed to help them. We have also been involved in litigation involving the DePuy hip implants, Wright Medical Technologies implants, Yaz cases, and cases against the manufacturers of vaginal mesh.
Liability in Defective Drug and Medical Device Cases
Liability in these cases does not require proof that the manufacturer intentionally misrepresented the medication or concealed harmful side effects. If a drug is marketed as safe but later proves dangerous, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may all be held responsible. At Bednarz & Bednarz, our defective product attorneys and Celebrex lawyers have successfully litigated defective drug cases in Hendersonville and across Tennessee, protecting the rights of consumers harmed by unsafe medications.
