We Can Help You Prove Your Defective Drug Case Under Louisiana’s Product Liability Law
RS §9:2800.54 from the Louisiana Products Liability Act governs claims alleging defective or unreasonably dangerous drugs. While this law allows injured consumers to hold drug manufacturers liable for the harm a product causes, it falls to the consumer to demonstrate that a characteristic of the drug made it unreasonably dangerous.
There are four basic types of liability outlined in this Act. People injured by a dangerous medication in the state of Louisiana could bring a claim based on:
- Defective composition or construction
- Defective design
- Inadequate safety warnings
- Violation of the express warranty of the manufacturer
There are specific requirements for each type of dangerous drug claim. Due to the complicated nature of product liability law, seeking legal advice from a dangerous drugs lawyer from our office in Marksville prior to bringing any claim may be helpful. An attorney could explain relevant laws, ensure compliance with deadlines for filing, and evaluate damages to help secure full compensation.
