What Is a Drug Injury Lawyer?

Understanding Dangerous Drug and Medication Cases

The León Law Firm knows how to handle tough product liability cases involving drug injuries. Drug injury lawyers focus on proving that dangerous drugs caused serious side effects and holding pharmaceutical companies accountable for concealing safety information. These cases differ from regular product liability claims because they involve prescription drugs, FDA regulations, and complex medical evidence. You may have claims against drug manufacturers, generic companies, and others in the drug supply chain. Our lawyers fully understand these challenging cases.

Our Drug Injury Legal Services

The León Law Firm provides comprehensive legal services for people harmed by dangerous drugs and medications:

Prescription Drug Injury Claims

Prescription drugs can cause serious side effects that drug companies hide from patients and doctors. We handle cases involving heart attacks from diabetes drugs like Avandia, cancer from acid reflux drugs like Zantac, and many other dangerous drug injuries. We work with medical experts who understand how drugs cause injuries and can prove your medication caused your health problems.

Pharmaceutical Company Liability Cases

Drug companies have a duty to test their drugs properly and warn about all serious side effects. When they fail to do this, people get hurt or die from dangerous drugs. We hold pharmaceutical companies accountable when they hide safety information, fail to conduct proper testing, or market dangerous drugs as safe. We investigate company documents, studies, and communications to prove they knew their drugs were dangerous.

FDA Recall and Safety Warning Cases

The FDA sometimes recalls dangerous drugs or requires new safety warnings after people are already hurt. We investigate whether drug companies and the FDA acted quickly enough to protect patients. We also investigate whether drug companies fought safety warnings or recalls to continue profiting from dangerous drugs, even when they knew people were getting hurt.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drug Injuries

Our skilled legal team answers common questions about dangerous drug cases:

Understanding Drug Injury Cases

What types of drug injuries can I sue for?

You can sue for any serious side effect caused by a dangerous drug that the company failed to warn about properly. This includes heart attacks, strokes, cancer, kidney damage, liver damage, birth defects, blood clots, and many other serious health problems. If you took a medication and developed unexpected health problems, you may have a case against the drug company.

How do you prove a drug caused my injury?

We work with medical experts who study how drugs affect the body and can review your medical records and drug use history. We analyze when you started taking the drug, how long you took it, and when your health problems developed. We also use scientific studies and FDA reports that show the drug’s dangerous side effects. Our experts can testify that the drug was a substantial factor in causing your injuries.

What if my doctor prescribed the drug?

Your doctor prescribing the drug doesn’t prevent you from suing the drug company. Doctors rely on drug companies to provide accurate safety information. If the drug company hid dangerous side effects or downplayed risks, your doctor couldn’t make a fully informed decision about prescribing the drug. The drug company is still responsible for failing to provide complete safety information.

Legal Process and Timeline

How long do I have to file a drug injury lawsuit?

Time limits vary by state, but most personal injury cases have a two- to three-year deadline from when you discovered or should have discovered that the drug caused your injury. Don’t wait to contact a lawyer because important evidence can be lost over time. The sooner we start working on your case, the better evidence we can gather.

Are drug injury cases part of class action lawsuits?

Some drug injury cases are handled as class actions or Multi-District Litigation (MDL), but many are filed as individual lawsuits. Individual cases often result in higher compensation because they’re based on your specific injuries and damages. We evaluate each case to determine the best legal strategy for maximum recovery.

What evidence do you need for my drug injury case?

We need proof that you took the drug, your medical records showing your injuries, and documentation of your damages, like medical bills and lost wages. We can help you gather pharmacy records, medical records, and other evidence. The more complete medical records we have, the stronger your case will be.

What if the drug company says their drug is safe?

Drug companies always claim their products are safe, even when there’s strong evidence of danger. We examine internal company documents, scientific studies, FDA reports, and other evidence that shows the actual risks. Many times, drug companies know about serious side effects but hide this information from the public. We use their own documents against them to prove they knew their drugs were dangerous.

Types of Damages and Compensation

What types of compensation can I get in a drug injury case?

You can get compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical care needs. Drug injuries often require expensive treatment and ongoing care. If your loved one died from a dangerous drug, the family can file a wrongful death claim for funeral costs, lost income, and the family’s loss. Some cases also include punitive damages to punish drug companies for hiding safety information.

How much compensation can I get for my drug injury case?

The amount depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical costs, lost wages, and how the drug affected your life. Drug injury cases can result in substantial settlements because pharmaceutical companies often have large insurance policies and make billions from their products. Cases involving death or permanent injury typically have higher values.

What if I'm still taking the drug or my condition is stable?

You can still file a drug injury lawsuit even if you’re still taking the medication or your condition is stable. You deserve compensation for the harm the drug caused, including medical bills, pain and suffering, and the need for ongoing monitoring. You may also be entitled to compensation for future health problems the drug might cause.
