Prescription Drugs and Medical Devices

Each day consumers and health authorities blame prescription drugs for negative side effects. While many of these drugs are recalled and taken off the market, other drugs stay on the market until hundreds, even thousands of people have suffered or died. Drugs such as Vioxx, Bextra, Zyprexa, Adderall, Paxil, Ortho Evra, Effexor have received numerous complaints.

Consumers also complain that medical devices, while designed to help, can cause additional irreversible injuries. Defective medical devices can include knee replacements, dialysis machines, defibrillators, heart valves, stents, and more.

Many medical-related lawsuits involve a group of people who file a class action lawsuit and split the settlement award. Individual lawsuits can also be brought against pharmaceutical or medical device companies. A lawyer can evaluate your case at no cost.
