Prescription Injuries Attorneys

Prescription drugs are important, vital tools that enable millions of people to enjoy a better quality of life. However, they can also pose serious health risks and cause severe injuries - even death. Despite regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), many Americans suffer serious illness and injury each year from prescription drugs. In fact, the problem is significant enough that the U.S. Senate has introduced a new drug safety bill in an effort to reduce the number of people harmed by their medication.

Virtually all prescription drugs cause side effects - ranging from minor irritations to hazardous conditions. Some medicines cause side effects only in people who have certain medical conditions, while others may impact a more general population. Because most drugs can potentially result in a side effect, all pharmaceutical companies are required to conduct extensive testing on new drugs. Drug companies must then disclose any known side effects when a new medication is launched, so that doctors and patients understand the potential risks.

However, not all side effects become apparent during testing - or sometimes a drug is "fast-tracked" to more quickly address a public health concern, and the testing phase is rushed. When innocent people are hurt or killed because potentially dangerous complications weren't disclosed during the approval process or weren't communicated to the public, prescription injuries are the result - and the drug companies can be held liable.

Prescription drug injuries can be extremely serious; resulting in such conditions as:

  • Organ damage and / or disease
  • Blood clots
  • Heart failure
  • Mental confusion
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Stroke
