Were You Harmed by the Use of a Dangerous or Defective Drug?
Consumers of pharmaceutical products must trust in the goodwill of a chain of providers:
- The manufacturer
- Vendors and distributors
- Packaging and marketing providers
- FDA approval
- Prescribing physicians
- Pharmacist/pharmacy
- Nurses in hospitals or nursing homes
- Anesthesiologists
- Dentists
If you have been injured or a family member has died in connection with the administration and consumption of a dangerous or defective prescription drug named in a drug recall, contact a well-established and accomplished personal injury and medical malpractice lawyer at the Atlanta law offices of Watkins, Lourie, Roll & Chance, PC. We have helped many clients obtain compensation after they were injured through use of defective drugs:
- Fen Phen
- Vioxx
- Yaz (birth control)
- Celebrex
- Bextra
- And more
Sometimes the drug is known to have been defective from the start. In other instances, an overdose, wrong medication or wrong form of administration is to blame. Failure of a doctor and/or pharmacist to screen for allergies and drug interactions may be an underlying cause of the injury or fatality.
Anesthesia errors may result in death when patients have submitted to minor procedures such as sino-nasal surgery or liposuction. Spinal cord strokes may result from prolonged low blood pressure caused by anesthesia. Blocked delivery or overdose of a drug administered by IV can be a cause of injury and death in hospitals.
To begin the process of getting to the bottom of your drug injury or the death of a family member, contact an Atlanta, Georgia, products liability attorney at Watkins, Lourie, Roll & Chance, PC.
