Each day, thousands of lawsuits are filed against pharmaceutical manufacturers for dangerous drugs and defective medical devices. The market is saturated with companies who falsify a product’s benefits or downplay the serious risks associated with it, ultimately leading to a number of drug recalls. Although they are required to perform quality testing to confirm a drug’s safety and effectiveness, some manufacturers cut corners. This can end up leading to consumer injuries.
Class action lawsuits involve a group of injured people who file a single lawsuit against a defendant.
Multidistrict litigation (MDL) entails separate lawsuits against the manufacturer under one court.
Victims of dangerous drugs and defective medical devices win billions of dollars in MDL lawsuits every year.
Without multidistrict litigation (MDL), drug litigation proceedings can take years to settle on an individual basis.
A trusted attorney with experience in drug lawsuit cases can guide clients through the entire process and help ensure a good outcome.
Many MDL cases are able to negotiate and reach a settlement. In the case of a trial, the case will go to court in order to reach a resolution.
Drugs once labeled as safe could potentially run into problems years later resulting in a recall, black box warning or having it pulled completely from the market.
As doctors and pharmacies learn about drug recalls, they are required to alert patients about any safety consequences.
A lawsuit can help individuals that have been harmed by a dangerous drug or device that has since been recalled.
