Medical Products Cases

MEDICAL PRODUCTS

Our firm has successfully handled litigation in the complex area of the law involving pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

Pharmaceutical products include prescription drugs and any product that is used on the human body by the healthcare industry. It is not uncommon to find a drug company distributing a product that later proves to be dangerous. Nor is it rare to discover that the manufacturer knew of the danger of a product long before it adequately warned doctors and the public.

Cases sometimes involve inappropriate use of drugs as well as the dangers inherent in prescribing them. Hence many medical products cases often overlap with negligence on the part of a healthcare provider.

The medical device area can include negligent manufacture of individual devices. The device may be designed in a dangerous manner or the warnings for its use may be inadequate.

Often patients are unaware that their harm had anything to do with a medical product. Only by carefully reviewing the medical records and searching the relevant literature can many such injuries be discovered.

Our firm has the capability of discovering the part that a drug or device has had in causing harm. We have the resources to research the product and find experts who will testify.
