About Our Network

National Pharmaceutical Injury Law Legal Network

Pharmaceutical companies have a legal duty to ensure their products are reasonably safe when used as intended. This includes adequate testing before marketing, proper labeling of risks and side effects, and monitoring for adverse events after approval. When manufacturers fail in these duties, they can be held liable for resulting injuries.

Drug injury claims may be based on several legal theories: strict product liability (design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn), negligence, breach of warranty, and fraud or misrepresentation. The applicable theory depends on the specific facts of the case and the laws of the state where the claim is filed.

Many pharmaceutical cases are consolidated into multi-district litigation (MDL) for pretrial proceedings while preserving the right to individual trials. Our network attorneys are experienced in both MDL proceedings and individual pharmaceutical injury trials.

Common Questions

Drug Injury FAQ

Common questions about pharmaceutical injury claims.

How do I know if a drug caused my injury?
A pharmaceutical injury attorney will review your medical records, the timeline of your drug use and symptoms, and the drug's known side effect profile. Medical experts may be consulted to establish causation.
Can I sue if the FDA approved the drug?
Yes. FDA approval does not immunize a manufacturer from liability. Many successful drug injury claims involve FDA-approved medications where the manufacturer failed to disclose risks or the drug was defectively manufactured.
What compensation can I recover in a drug injury case?
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in cases of egregious misconduct, punitive damages. Each case is unique.
