If you developed an illness or became sicker after taking a prescription or over-the-counter drug, or if you lost your loved one because they took a medication, you might have legal grounds to pursue a lawsuit for compensation. However, to succeed in your dangerous drug case, you need to establish that someone was legally responsible. As with most other forms of personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits, dangerous medication claims usually involve proving that someone was legally negligent because they failed to take reasonable care in their actions.
Unfortunately, establishing negligence in Boca Raton dangerous drug cases can be complicated. To give yourself the strongest chance of succeeding, you should consult with our skilled pharmaceutical injury attorneys at Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia.
Most claims in Boca Raton involving dangerous drugs are against negligent pharmaceutical companies. Most commonly, cases against drug companies involve proving that the drug had a specific kind of defect that caused it to become dangerous.
When a medication has a design defect, it is inherently unsafe, even if the manufacturer adheres to the safest production procedures. A drug with too many side effects has a design defect. Although all drugs have some side effects, the risks posed by a drug’s negative effects should not outweigh its actual benefits to patients.
Manufacturing defects, which result from mistakes made during the production process, could cause a medication to become hazardous. For instance, if the wrong chemical or substance enters a batch of medication, the entire batch is contaminated and could pose a risk to consumers.
A marketing defect refers to a manufacturing company’s failure to warn consumers and patients of potential risks associated with a new medication, such as known side effects, possible drug interactions, and allergens. Negligence can also occur when a pharmaceutical company fails to instruct consumers, hospitals, and patients on how to take the drug safely.
