Whether they’re sold over the counter or only with a prescription, medications are supposed to promote healing and ease the symptoms of illnesses and injuries. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has strict standards for medications sold in the U.S., and most medications on pharmacy shelves are safe and effective. However, some medications can pose serious dangers to patients even years after they’re approved due to hidden or unpublicized risks.
Pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars researching, developing, manufacturing, and marketing their products. To recoup those costs, they do everything they can to make sure their medications are approved for sale—and sometimes that involves skipping important safety steps or even hiding their own findings that indicate potential dangers to patients.
At Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers, we believe that pharmaceutical companies should be held liable when their profit-driven negligence causes innocent victims like you or someone you love to suffer health problems after taking a medication. Our Norfolk drug injury attorneys aren’t afraid to stand up to billion-dollar pharmaceutical companies and hold them accountable when innocent people are harmed by their products.
When you hire us, we’ll work to prove your injuries, illness, or complications were caused by the unsafe medication. Then, we’ll calculate how much money you’re owed for your medical bills and lost wages. Finally, we’ll negotiate to get you maximum compensation. Contact us today for a free consultation.
