Dangerous Drugs Overview

The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) deems a drug "safe" for use when the benefits of that medication are determined to outweigh any risks. However, while the FDA does make sure all new medications are tested in clinical trials before approving them for public use, trials are often conducted on homogenous or small populations and may not reflect the true patients for whom the drug will be prescribed. Sadly, many dangerous drugs are not known to be unsafe until they have already been approved by the FDA and reports of serious injuries or wrongful deaths begin to arise.

While the FDA goes to great lengths to ensure the safety of our over-the-counter and prescription medications, the ultimate responsibility for a dangerous drug rests on the drug maker. Unfortunately, these companies, often pharmaceutical giants with billions of dollars at stake, have been known to put profit before patient safety. The dangerous drug lawyers at Flood Law Group, L.L.P. have even known drug makers to withhold evidence about a drug's safety from the FDA or to falsify clinical trial results in an effort to expedite approval, to circumvent making costly warning label changes, or to avoid the recall of a medication.

When innocent patients are injured or families lose a loved one due to side effects or complications of a dangerous drug, the lawyers at Flood Law Group, L.L.P. support them in filing and fighting dangerous drug lawsuits in pursuit of compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other possible damages.

Common claims in dangerous drug lawsuits may include:

• The drug maker failed to adequately warn the medical community and the public of risks or potential side effects associated with a drug.
• The drug maker was negligent in their duty to fully test a drug for safety before releasing it to the public.
• The drug maker failed to conduct sufficient after-market research into a medication after receiving reports of patient injuries or deaths linked to its side effects.
