Claims Against Defective Medical Devices And Drugs
Pharmaceutical drugs with life altering side effects often make it to the market because their side effects are not anticipated during the clinical research and trials. As a result of poor oversight, reduced self policing and regulatory malaise, defective products enter the market and then need to be recalled as soon as their defects are noticed. Patients with serious or fatal injuries from such drugs can claim for the dangerous drug compensation through what is called injury lawsuit.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is chiefly responsible for human and animal drugs, biologics, cosmetics, medical devices and so on. But even with a regulatory body in action, thousands of dangerous drugs have been released in the market that has caused serious illnesses and wrongful deaths. The complications from a defective medicine generally vary for different drugs.
Understanding the lawsuits
There’s a difference between medical malpractice lawsuits and drug lawsuits. When a patient can prove a doctor’s negligence as the direct cause of the injuries, the patient may be eligible for compensation or even for punitive damages. Pharmacists have a legal duty to carefully understand the side effects of the drug they are selling or should have a complete knowledge about before prescribing the medicines as they have extensive training in the subject. As the general public has the right to rely on the expertise of the physicians and the pharmacists, you also have a right to seek defective drug compensation when they are not successful to protect you.
FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval doesn’t assure that a drug is safe, as recent recalls have shown. Defective drugs and defective medical devices on the market has lead to considerable health risks to the public including:
• serious injury
• disabilities
• lesser scope of earning
• hospitalization
• defective medical products can result in more intensive surgeries than are actually required to cure the damage
Thousands of people just like you have been wrongly affected by the medical devices and the dangerous drugs. To find out about your compensation and whether your case is eligible for it, dial 1-855-631-3147 or visit lawsuits411.net
