When an individual suffers personal injury as a result of the neglect of a large corporation, the individual is usually represented on an “individual” basis by one attorney. Hovde Dassow + Deets has represented hundreds of individual claims in large scale pharmaceutical litigation against the largest drug corporations in the world. These are not class actions – we represent you individually.
A drug liability claim may exist when a company develops, manufactures, distributes or sells a prescription drug or other pharmaceutical that is unreasonably dangerous or defective resulting in injury or death.
Too often in their efforts to rush new drugs onto the market, manufacturers ignore safe practices and fail to conduct adequate testing that could have revealed the dangers of their products. In certain cases, drug manufacturers and medical device makers are aware of dangers associated with their products before ever placing them on the market.
Injuries and deaths can occur even when the drugs have been used according to the manufacturers' warnings and instructions. Some are the result of defective warnings and labels, which fail to adequately warn of drug interactions, adverse reactions and serious side effects, and fail to provide instructions for safe use, or which do not provide information regarding contraindications or pre-existing conditions which increase the risk of injury leading to drug liability cases.
Others are caused by drugs which are recalled or withdrawn from the market, which were never safe to begin with, and which would not have been approved but for the manufacturer misleading or withholding material data from the FDA.
