Abbeville Defective Drugs Lawyer

Your biggest hope when taking medication is to get better. While most drugs do precisely that, you might fall victim to a defective or dangerous drug. Sometimes, the medication you get might not be safe for you, even though your doctor prescribed it. This can result in adverse side effects that can make your condition worse.

An Abbeville defective drugs lawyer with Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers has experience dealing with such cases and can assist you. Working with our team gives you a chance to find the party responsible for the drugs and helps you seek compensation for the side effects and complications you suffer.

Parties Responsible for Dangerous Drugs

Drug manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies release hundreds of medications every year. A large number of these drugs can fall under the dangerous drug category. 

If you have ever dealt with dangerous drugs and their side effects, you might wonder who is to blame. In truth, many parties can be responsible. Pharmaceutical companies have the responsibility to ensure their drugs are safe for use. Any design or manufacturing defects that don’t warn people that the drug is not safe for intended use can cause harm. Pharmaceutical companies are also responsible for labels and warnings.

Other parties that can be liable for dangerous drugs include:

Safety Testing Labs

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can approve medication even if some of them are dangerous. They depend on tests done by the pharmaceutical company’s safety testing labs to get accurate information regarding the drug. However, sometimes the companies don’t conduct adequate tests, providing false information on the drug.

Safety testing labs are also responsible for providing any information regarding their drug’s possible side effects, dangers, and risks. They need to ensure their drug has adequate labeling, warning consumers of potential risks.

Just because FDA approved the drug doesn’t mean it is safe for use. The blame, however, may rest on the company’s testing labs. Your Abbeville defective drug lawyer can help you identify if this is where the fault lies in your case.

Drug Manufacturers

Besides the testing labs, drug manufacturers should also warn of the dangers of using the drugs. Some companies provide misleading or false information to the FDA just to get their drug approved. Any manufacturer that knowingly does this is responsible for any adverse effects the drug has on its users.

Hospital or Pharmacy

The FDA can recall certain drugs or issue warnings once they discover they are dangerous or defective. Hospitals and pharmacies need to remove such drugs from their shelves. However, some still continue to issue them, endangering even more people.

Doctors or Medical Staff

A doctor or any medical staff member that prescribes a defective drug also puts their patients at risk. You can file a defective drug lawsuit against the doctor or their employer for exposing you to a drug that endangered your health.

How a Dangerous Drug Lawyer at Our Firm Can Help

Determining which party or parties to hold liable for defective drugs can be extremely difficult. There are many people involved, and you may not have the necessary resources to do it alone. You can alleviate this pressure by working with an Abbeville defective drugs lawyer on our team.

We have the proper resources, putting us on equal footing with the liable parties. They can go toe-to-toe with them to help ensure you get the compensation you deserve. Some of the services you can get from our Abbeville defective drugs lawyer include:

An Investigation

You cannot trust the insurance companies or responsible parties to be impartial when investigating their own product. They will do what they can to protect their bottom line, leaving you at a disadvantage.

To even the playing field, our lawyers can conduct an independent investigation. They will help you find more evidence and necessary information and reach out to potential witnesses who might be able to support your case.

Legal Representation

You have the freedom to choose what legal path you want to take. Your lawyer can advise you on legal options before you and support you in whichever one you choose. They will also prepare and submit any legal paperwork necessary on your behalf.

Other ways an Abbeville defective drug lawyer at our firm can help include:

  • Conducting expert witness interviews
  • Offering an understanding of civil practices and legal advice
  • Calculating and pursuing compensation on your behalf

Recoverable Damages in a Dangerous Drug Case

You might be entitled to collect compensation that covers your injuries and damages. Your Abbeville defective drugs lawyer can help you calculate the compensation you deserve and negotiate with the responsible parties to get you a fair settlement.

Some of the compensation you can receive include:

  • Loss of income: Includes lost wages while recovering from your injuries and any potential wages you might lose in the future from your injuries.
  • Past and future medical expenses: It can cover costs for doctor’s visits, hospital stays, diagnostic tests, surgeries, and other medical care.
  • Pain and suffering: It covers the emotional or physical pain you felt from your condition.
  • Loss of consortium: Reimburses your loss for the negative effects the case had on your relationships—for example, divorce.

If you decide to file a lawsuit for damages, don’t wait. CC Art. 3492 dictates that you generally have two years from the date of the incident or discovery to take legal action against the other party.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
