Ludwig Law Firm | Drug Injury

Each year thousands of people are injured in the United States due to defective products. Fortunately, individuals and companies responsible for injuries caused by defective products can be held accountable under State and Federal law.

Before a doctor can prescribe a medication, it must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, many approved drugs are later found to be dangerous. Drugs can be on the market for years before authorities realize they are connected to negative and deadly patient outcomes.

Examples of dangerous drugs include certain birth control pills, heartburn, and acid reflux drugs, testosterone, Zofran for anti-nausea in pregnant women, certain antidepressants, and certain antipsychotics. If you were injured by a prescription medication in a way that was not a known risk, call a defective product lawyer right away.

You also are at risk of purchasing and consuming dangerous over-the-counter drugs. The FDA does not approve OTC medications. Sometimes they are only tested after hitting the shelves. This means you could purchase a contaminated drug at the store. After taking the drug once or numerous times, you may suffer a serious injury. If an OTC medication harmed you, call us right away.
