Why You Need a Dangerous Drug Attorney

It can be very intimidating if you are considering suing a major corporation or a medical provider. While no one is above the law, drug manufacturers and healthcare providers will often employ a team of defense attorneys to minimize any possible payout. Navigating a dangerous drug case will require high-quality legal counsel that is aware of these tactics and is not afraid to confront them. Our Albuquerque injury lawyers can fully investigate your case, gather evidence, and give your case the attention that it requires for successful results.

Who is Liable for a Dangerous Drug?

There are numerous parties that may be responsible for your damages if you are seriously injured from a dangerous drug, including both medical providers and pharmaceutical companies. For example, depending on your case, a manufacturer, testing facility, pharmacy, doctor, or a medical facility may be liable for committing one of the following negligent acts:

• Lack of proper testing
• Defects in the manufacture of a drug or the means of administering the drug
• Failure to warn about dangerous side effects
• Prescription mistakes or errors
• Mislabeling
• Dispensing incorrect dosage
• Misleading marketing ploys
• Failure to obtain approval from FDA

A substantial investigation will often be required to determine the reason why a drug was dangerous and caused your injury. Victims are entitled to compensation for their related medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.
