Drug Litigation
The Food and Drug Administration is supposed to keep dangerous drugs and pharmaceutical products off the market and away from consumers. Frequently, however, the pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors are so eager to get their product approved and on drugstore shelves that adverse side effects are ignored, underestimated, overlooked, or intentionally misrepresented. Serious and sometimes deadly consequences can result. Recent highly publicized cases involving Vioxx, Bextra, and Celebrex demonstrate all too clearly the health consequences of unsafe drugs and faulty medical devices. The Dallas Drug Litigation attorneys at Eberstein & Witherite, LLP, help Texans pursue claims for personal injury and wrongful death against the manufacturers and distributors of dangerous drugs and defective medical devices.
Even safe drugs, when improperly prescribed or administered, can cause great harm. Their manufacturers and distributors may be held responsible for their failure to properly label the product, give proper instructions about use, and to warn consumers of possible adverse reactions and side effects. Often simple and reasonable steps could have been taken to protect prescription drug and medical device customers from injury or death. Innocent consumers are tragically unaware of the inadequate testing, insufficient warnings, or the recalls required by governmental agencies.
