Dangerous Drug Lawsuits

While prescription medications and other drugs can cause side effects, the overall assumption should be that the medication provides more benefits than adverse effects. However, many side effects do not outweigh the benefits of the medication. In some cases, the drugs cause more harm than good resulting in life time complications and even death.

Failure to Warn

It is the responsibility of the pharmaceutical companies to educate and warn consumers of a drug’s side effects so the consumer can weigh the pros and cons of taking the medication. Many times, defective drugs enter the market and most pharmaceutical companies do not issue a recall or properly state the warnings and instructions due to the financial benefits of letting defective medicines stay on the market.

Complaints Against Dangerous Medications

If a pharmaceutical company failed to warn about the dangerous side effects of a medication, they may be held negligent in a class action lawsuit. Other possible lawsuit claims may be:

  1. The harmful side effects were concealed
  2. The medication failed to provide warnings
  3. The dangerous drug was knowingly produced and sold

What Factors Play a Role in a Bad Drug Lawsuit?

Dangerous drug lawsuits can be complicated and depend on a number of factors. Some of the factors that can play a role in a dangerous drug lawsuit are:

  • The type of drug
  • The drug’s dosage amount
  • The length of the prescription
  • The consumer’s medical history
