Defective pharmaceuticals may cause serious injury or death because a pharmaceutical company has decided to place profit above consumer safety. Taking a prescribed medication should not be a risk taking event.

Everyone knows almost all prescription drugs have side effects to some extent, but defective prescription drugs can have life-threatening side effects even when taken as directed by a physician. Defective pharmaceuticals have been known to cause heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, pulmonary dysfunction, liver damage and death.

Defective pharmaceuticals include medication for arthritis pain, cholesterol lowering medication, diet drugs, oral contraceptives, anti-depressants, vaccines and many other types of drugs. It has become a common occurrence for medications to be recalled due to serious side effects after many patients have been injured and their families tragically impacted.

If you or someone you love has been injured by a defective pharmaceutical, the pharmaceutical company may have failed to deliver a safe product to the consumer and you may be eligible for financial compensation because of the injuries you or your loved one has suffered due to the drug manufacturer’s negligence.

The most important aspect of a defective pharmaceutical lawsuit is proving the drug was defective and responsible for your injuries. The Cochran Firm has the expertise and past history of handling defective pharmaceutical cases to a successful conclusion.
