Orlando, Florida Dangerous Drug Attorneys
Recently, a number of prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals have come under increased scrutiny. 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 for sale. At the Orlando law office of Dellecker, Wilson, King, McKenna & Ruffier, our Florida dangerous drug attorneys are committed to serving victims and are well-versed in the product liability laws that protect consumers. We handle dangerous drug claims involving Trasylol®, Zelnorm®, Fosamax®, VIOXX®, Bextra® and other potentially harmful pharmaceuticals.
Patients taking pharmaceutical medications expect to see improvement in their health, not deterioration. If a personal injury or wrongful death occurs, the victim (or the victim’s family) has the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, physical and emotional trauma, and other losses. Our product liability lawyers have obtained millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements on behalf of clients throughout Florida. Contact our Orlando dangerous drug attorneys to speak with an experienced, courtroom-seasoned litigator.
Pharmaceutical Litigation
Consumers trust drug manufacturers and health care providers to offer safe, effective medications. If a manufacturer acts negligently, its actions can result in serious medical complications for the consumers of their drugs. Those unfortunate victims however, may have a remedy by bringing a product liability claim against the drug manufacturer. If a physician acts negligently in prescribing a medication, the doctor may be held liable for medical malpractice.
Drug manufacturers are required to comprehensively test each product before seeking approval from the FDA. Additionally, each drug’s label must disclose full information about the product’s potential side effects. The failure to warn of the risk of serious side effects such as heart attacks and strokes is frequently the basis of pharmaceutical litigation.
When a drug causes serious health problems, the FDA or the manufacturer may take the drug off the market. However, many drugs that have questionable safety profiles continue to be marketed and distributed. These dangerous drugs may cause numerous serious side effects, with potentially life-changing consequences.
