Illinois Trial Lawyers: Dangerous and Defective Drugs
Who is to blame when an unsafe drug injures or kills an innocent patient: the doctor, the pharmacist, the hospital or the manufacturer? Contact us today for answers.
Dangerous drugs and the family tragedies they cause are frequently in the news. Under sometimes intense media and regulatory scrutiny, it would be logical for drug manufacturers and prescribers to redouble their efforts to prevent further instances of serious injury or death. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
When doctors and drug companies make mistakes and people are injured or die, who should have to pay? Our dedicated trial attorneys can help you seek the full and fair compensation you deserve for your injury or loss. Call our offices in Peoria, Illinois, at 866.361.7674 or e-mail us today to receive a free case evaluation.
If you were hurt or a loved one was severely injured or died as a result of a dangerous pharmaceutical drug, please contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney who can help you find out what really happened and who is responsible.
At the Carter Law Offices, our respected malpractice trial lawyers have the experience and litigation skill to aggressively prosecute cases where a pharmaceutical manufacturer's negligence or a doctor's error resulted in injury or death.
We focus specifically on cases where off-label prescriptions (drugs prescribed for an unintended or untested purpose) have harmed patients and cases where Big Pharma companies have produced dangerous drugs with serious or potentially fatal side effects, including medications such as:
- Terbutaline sulfate (marketed under the brand names Bricanyl and Brethine), linked to the development of autism
- Antidepressants (SSRI drugs such as Paxil and Prozac) linked to suicide and violent or antisocial behavior, especially in teen patients
- Isotretinoin (Accutane) linked to spontaneous abortion and severe birth defects
- Statins (cholesterol lowering drugs such as Baycol) implicated in cases of heart attack, pancreatitis, depression and cancer
To discuss your case with an attorney who has the experience and resources to stand up to the doctors, hospitals and Big Pharma drug companies responsible for the harm caused by dangerous drugs, please contact us today.
