Dangerous Prescription Drugs

The FDA, through the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, began placing many medications on a fast-track to approval. The drug companies themselves are allowed to directly advertise to consumers in the form of print, radio and television advertisements. The authors believe it is wrong for manufacturers of medicines to put patients’ lives at risk for the sake of corporate gain. But that is what the market requires today, as drug companies rush more drugs to the market for financial profit. This comes at the expense of patients, who can be harmed by side effects and toxic reactions. In some cases, patients have died or face life-changing injuries because of a pharmaceutical drug.

As the pharmaceutical manufacturers see record profits, consumers have been injured. Drug recalls are no longer out of the ordinary. In recent years, reports on Vioxx, Bextra, Celebrex, Crestor, and Zocor have uncovered significant problems of consumer safety. If you believe you have been injured by taking prescription drugs, including being prescribed the wrong prescription drug, please contact us for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have prepared a FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS page to assist you.

No Recovery, No Fee

We take cases on a contingent basis, meaning that there is generally no cost to you unless we are able to recover a settlement or judgment on your behalf. We also front all litigation costs, meaning you need no money down to hire us as your attorneys.Litigation costs can include filing fees, court reporter fees for deposition, copying costs, experts, and travel. If you recover via trial or settlement, we are reimbursed our fronting of litigation costs out of any damages you are awarded. The actual percentage agreement between our firm and our clients may differ depending on each case. We invite you to contact us to discuss in more detail how we can help you, but please remember if there is no recovery, there is no fee.

The Personal Difference

When you contact us, you will personally receive a telephone call back from either Tim or Ed, not an assistant. If you send us an email, you will receive a return email from Tim or Ed, or another lawyer in our firm, not a paralegal or assistant or third party. You will receive our email addresses, our cell phone numbers, and a number that rings directly to our desks (not a receptionist that screens telephone calls). We want our clients to have access to us at anytime they need us.

Contacting an Attorney

If you or a loved one have used a prescription drug and have been diagnosed with any medical condition as a result of the taking of that drug, or your loved one has died while using a prescription drug, you should contact an attorney immediately for review of a potential claim against the manufacturer. Statutes of limitation, which are deadlines set by state law, regulate the filing of lawsuits, and they vary from state to state. If the statute of limitations in your state expires, your right to pursue a claim against the manufacturer may be forever barred. If you or a loved one was harmed by a prescription drug, you should not delay in contacting an attorney.
