Speak to an Illinois Lawyer About Pharmacy Errors Injuries
It is one thing when a drug produces unexpected, negative side effects in a patient. It is another thing altogether when patients are not informed of the risks — and suffer harm with no opportunity to give informed consent.
Doctors are responsible for staying informed about the characteristics of medications that they prescribe. Drug manufacturers are responsible for informing the public, as well as individual doctors and patients, of known risks of prescription drugs.
Were You Seriously Harmed or Was a Family Member Killed Because of a Medication Mistake or a Defective Drug?
If you were injured or if your family member died because a doctor, a pharmacy or a drug manufacturer did not take reasonable precautions and known dangers were not disclosed, you may have a viable claim for compensation.
David S. Jasmer has helped achieve over $85 million total in verdicts and settlements since 1996.
Elements of a strong case for compensation in a case involving a defective drug will normally include the following:
- You took medications prescribed by your doctor or were given medications in a hospital setting.
- A doctor prescribed the drugs and a pharmacy delivered those drugs to you, whether in a bottle to take home or through an IV in a hospital.
- The medication was known to have risks. This information was available through publications and labeling. The drug may have been named in a product recall.
- You suffered serious illness or injury, or your loved one died as a result of ingestion, injection or inhalation of the defective drug.
You are encouraged to discuss your situation with a knowledgeable Chicago defective drugs lawyer if you suffered a heart attack, liver damage or any other serious side effect after taking a prescribed medication, such as the following:
- Avandia
- Paxil
- Yaz
- Fosamax
- Prempro
- Levaquin
- Cipro
- Reglan
- Aprotinin
- Trasylol
- Chantix
- Gadolinium
