Between 1990 and 2008, U.S. spending on prescription drugs increased from $40 billion to $234 billion. Today, almost half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug. The sale of medical devices has grown into an $85 billion-per-year industry. But too many people are injured by severe side effects of dangerous drugs and defective medical devices. Often, the injuries are more debilitating than the condition that led to the prescription or device in the first place. Fortunately, the law gives injured consumers remedies if they are injured because of a manufacturer’s negligence. You can now file a defective medical device lawsuit.
Prescription drug lawsuits and defective medical device lawsuits fall under a special category of law known as products liability law. If filing a lawsuit related to a prescription drug or medical device is an action you want to take, it is a good idea to consult a lawyer who is familiar with this kind of law.
Attorneys can help in a number of ways. They will be able to help you understand your legal rights and options if a drug or a device is recalled. They can evaluate whether you have a weak or a strong claim and if you do have a claim the attorney can file the claim for you. Once a lawsuit is filed, your lawyer can help negotiate a settlement in the case or take it to trial.
