Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Drug Claims Attorneys

With the number of new drugs being passed and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration each year, the potential for overlooked side effects has been greater than ever. Drugs such as Vioxx and Trasylol have been responsible for deaths and injuries across the country. Despite warnings surrounding such drugs by groups like Public Citizen, the number of injuries, deaths and illnesses from defective drugs and medical procedures is on the rise. If you or someone you love has suffered from an illness or adverse side effect from a prescription medication then you should contact our office for a free consultation.

Consumers are protected from harmful products by Pennsylvania's product liability laws. These laws ensure that people buying or using products in the state are not being exposed to dangerous or deadly factors. Fortunately if anyone does have adverse side effects to a pharmaceutical drug, prescription medication, or even over-the-counter medication, they have rights.

Drug companies spend billions of dollars each year lobbying government officials, the FDA, and medical officials in order to get their drugs on the market. While the overall process is fairly rigorous there are several loopholes that are commonly used by drug companies. Testing of the drug before it is approved is important and yet many drug companies are doing the testing themselves. In the case of Vioxx, for example, drug maker Merck conducted its own testing and withheld evidence of serious side effects for over a year and a half while the drug was on the market.

Practices like this are unfortunately very common and the government does not have the financial resources to ensure that the drug companies are fully complying all of the time. Thankfully, the United States has many laws protecting consumers from these drugs. These laws ensure that people injured by or even potentially injured by dangerous drugs can file a lawsuit seeking damages. Often these lawsuits can pay for related medical costs, loss of work, pain and suffering, wrongful deaths and many other elements.
