Here are some frequently asked questions from previous defective drug clients.
What are Defective Drugs?
When the negative effects of a medication outweigh the benefits of the drug, then it can be considered defective. The symptoms of defective drugs can vary, but in general, they cause suffering or injuries that can last a lifetime or impact the quality of life. Unfortunately, in a lot of situations, the bad prescription drug can even be lethal.
What Are The Side Effects Of Defective Drugs?
A defective drug can cause various injuries, depending on the type of drug. Most drugs do have the potential to cause mild to moderate side effects, but defective prescription drugs are different.
Here is a list of just some common injuries caused by bad drugs.
Heart attack
Stroke
Blood clots
Abnormal liver function
Cancer or increased risk of cancer
Permanent disability
Internal bleeding
Who is Liable for a Defective Drug?
It’s possible for several parties to be held responsible in a defective drug lawsuit. Typically, the liable party is the pharmaceutical company that produced the drug.
The company can be held liable in a number of ways.
Strict Liability
When a person takes the drug as prescribed or directed and experiences severe effects, the manufacturer can be held responsible regardless of whether they were negligent.
Negligence
In the case of negligence, it’s determined that the manufacturer was careless or reckless in producing the drug or during the testing phase.
Failure to Warn
This type of liability occurs when a drug manufacturer fails to inform the consumer of potential side effects and the consumer is injured as a result.

Client Testimonials
I chose this law firm due to the great reviews that I read online, and it was the best decision i’ve ever made! From start to finish the staff at Angell handled my cases really well. They are very professional, they know what they’re doing, and they have no problem answering questions and taking time to walk you through the process. When dealing with big insurance companies, it’s great to have a team to help negotiate to get what you truly deserve. Special thanks to Annie and Deanna as I worked more closely with them but the entire staff is amazing! If you need a lawyer I definitely recommend them. Thanks so much!
