California Defective Drugs Lawyers
Diseases are widespread. People often consult doctors for the treatment of their diseases. Surprisingly, prescription drugs as well as over the counter (OTC) drugs, can cause extensive harm to your body. Pharmaceutical companies roll out FDA approved products, but, nearly 20,000-40,000 people lose their lives every year due to their indiscriminate use.
An FDA approval is no guarantee that the drug is devoid of side effects. It is estimated that nearly 50% of drugs have detrimental effects. In case you or your loved one has suffered side effects from ingesting any prescription drug, it is important that you consult experienced defective drug lawyers to evaluate your case. Defective Drugs Lawyers at Farahi Law Firm help you get financial compensation for any trauma you had to undergo due to defective drugs.
What are Defective Drugs?
With so many pharmaceutical companies fighting for the same market and increasing their margin of patients, there are bound to be some corners cut. Many times, companies are so sure of their product that they launch it without taking care of all procedures and testing. This has an effect on consumer health as safety issues are not properly taken care. Some of the most common drugs and products which have been documented to show such issues include:
- Actos
- Decongestants
- Denture Creams
- Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (Avelox, Cipro, Floxin)
- Gadolinium
- Hip and knee replacement products
- Kugel mesh hernia products
- Low Testosterone Therapy (Androderm, Foresta, Testim)
- Medtronic defibrillators
- Opioids
- Pain pumps for a shoulder injury
- Proton pump inhibitors for kidney injuries (Protonix, AcipHex, Zegerid)
- Risperdal
- Valsartan
- Xarelto
Who can be Held Responsible for Defective Drugs?
Prescription drugs cause more fatalities than traffic accidents. According to the U.S. Centre for Disease Control (CDC), nearly 50% of drugs result in damage despite testing and FDA approval. Many of them, are withdrawn from sale in just 12 months of release. Sometimes, despite being aware of side effects, drug companies still market them. In such cases, the onus lies not just on drug manufacturers but also on FDA and physicians prescribing them.
Manufacturer Liability
Before launching any drug in the market, the manufacturer should conduct trials (animal and human) over a period to study the benefits and potential side effects of the drug. However, in a hurry to jump the gun, drugs are often released without complete awareness of the risks. This may result in initial patients suffering injury and the drug might be recalled from the market. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to make consumers aware of the potential side effects of their drug.
FDA Responsibility
Any pharmaceutical drug which hits the market is assessed and passed by the FDA. In case a medicine is found to have certain side effects, it is the FDA’s duty to investigate and determine if the benefits of the drug outweigh the potential risks. The FDA has two options available; either recall the drug from the market or instruct the manufacturer to add an additional warning to the drug’s label.

If you or a loved one has been injured due to serious side effects from taking a prescription drug, your case should be thoroughly evaluated to see if you can recover financial damages. It is important that you contact a qualified California Defective Drug Lawyers for a case evaluation.
Pharmaceutical companies manufacture and market hundreds of new drugs each year. The Food and Drug Administration regulates and approves each product before it reaches the consumer. Every year over 200,000 people die from these drugs. It is estimated that more than 50% of all the drugs marketed to the American consumer have deleterious effects, in spite of testing and FDA regulation.
Of all the recent examples of harmful drugs, most were withdrawn from sale within 12 months of release. Drug companies still market some drugs even after evidence of serious side effects or death had been noted. By law, drug manufacturers are strictly liable for injuries if the product they sell is defective or unreasonably dangerous.
When your injuries are significant enough to cause a lifetime of pain and suffering, a quick and easy settlement from the insurance company is never enough to cover the future costs, suffering and emotional stress as a result of your injury from a defective drug. Catastrophic injuries such as heart attacks, paralysis, burns, brain damage, blood clots or even death have life-long effects on you and your family. This is when you need the advice and counsel of a compassionate, experienced, legal advocate dedicated completely to your cause.
