Pharmaceutical Dangers

You have a right to expect that the medications prescribed by your doctor or sold over-the-counter (OTC) are safe to take as directed.

As a part of the largest and most profitable industry in the United States, many pharmaceutical companies reap record profits each year even as deaths from adverse reactions to prescription medications continue to rise. Independent studies show that of the 46% of Americans who take at least one prescription medication each day, an estimated 1.3 million will be injured and 106,000 will die this year from complications arising from adverse reactions to those drugs.

If you are among the many who have suffered ill effects due to the irresponsible practices of these multi-billion dollar corporations, we urge you to contact us for more information about pharmaceutical negligence.  

Pharmaceutical Liability

The law clearly states that manufacturers of prescription and OTC medications or devices are responsible for ensuring the reasonable safety of their products and disclosing any potential side effects. However, thanks to the pharmaceutical industry’s successful lobbying efforts for “fast-track” acceptance, products often appear on the market before they have been adequately evaluated for safety.

Cases involving defective drugs and medical devices have caused the recent unprecedented increase in pharmaceutical litigation. Please contact a qualified SEG pharmaceutical lawyer if you have experienced health complications arising from the use of:
