Drug Injuries

We Know Drug Injuries

Most Americans use prescription or over-the-counter medicine on a daily basis. When you visit your doctor, you are often given a prescription for a drug that has been tested and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a federal agency responsible for protecting the public from ineffective or unsafe drugs. The FDA also regulates over-the-counter drugs that are a staple in virtually everyone’s medicine cabinet. Even though the FDA does not control most herbal or nutritional supplements, their increasing popularity means that these supplements’ damaging potential is also a reality.

Even drugs that are deemed safe can be harmful and sometimes deadly. In fact, the U.S. Government’s Center for Disease Control has reported that drug use, including prescription drugs, may actually account for as many fatal auto accidents as drunk driving. Patients all around the country are demanding that their rights be protected, and holding physicians and laboratories responsible for damages caused by ill prescribed or unsafe drugs. An experienced lawyer can help you determine if there has been negligence in your medical care and protect your rights and your health.
