These are the medications that are available without prescription. They are still regulated however by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Medical devices that are defective can cause harm to a lot of people. These include robotic surgery equipment, implants that are infected by bacteria or damaged by time or a device that does not perform its intended purpose. These problems are usually the result of poor manufacturing, design or testing.

In most cases, dangerous medical device and drug lawsuits are filed as medical malpractice or product liability lawsuits depending on the specific circumstances of your situation. Multidistrict litigation may be used in cases where multiple victims are injured by the same medication.

Unfortunately, drug companies aren't always testing their products properly and sell them to unknowing patients without a full understanding of the dangers. In some instances there are instances where the FDA has approved these medications after they have been shown to cause serious adverse effects in other patients. This can happen when the medication is in a bad relationship with another drug a patient is taking or if it is used off-label (something that is not covered by the FDA's original approval). These are just some of the reasons you should seek legal advice from a dangerous drug attorney whenever you can.

Pharmaceuticals

Many people suffer injuries or even death each year because of exposure to dangerous medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceutical companies have a huge incentive to bring their products on the market quickly, which can mean that adverse side effects are not emphasized or that new ingredients aren't thoroughly examined. When this results in injuries to patients and their loved ones, the drug or manufacturer of the device could be held responsible for those injuries. Sullivan & Brill attorneys are currently involved in a variety of multi-district lawsuits involving defective pharmaceuticals.

A drug case that is potentially dangerous could include any medication, including both over-the counter and prescription drugs. Many of these cases are related to prescription medications and the way they are prescribed or dispensing by doctors or hospitals.

In these instances, the medication may be prescribed for an off-label usage or it may have been administered by a pharmacy or hospital without proper scanning of the prescription or confirming that the patient's condition warrants the drug's administration. A doctor who prescribes drugs "off-label", or for purposes that are not approved, may also be held accountable.

Dangerous substances can be the result of a manufacturing defect or because the drug was contaminated by a known carcinogen during its processing and distribution. Based on the nature of your injury, you could be entitled to compensation for the intangible and financial losses that you have suffered due to using a defective drug.
