Pharmaceutical Drug Injuy Lawyers

Sometimes the prescribed drugs that were meant to help you end up doing more harm than good. Drugs with deadly or dangerous side effects often make it to the market because their potential dangers were not anticipated during clinical trials. These drugs are classified as defective drugs and have been identified by the FDA as having dangerous side effects that may outweigh the benefits they were intended to have. Oftentimes when the FDA identifies a drug as a defective, it will lead to drug recalls, personal injuries, and lawsuits against drug companies.
