Drugs & Medical Devices

Have you or a loved one experienced serious injury because of a drug or device? Or do you have a loved one who has died due to a prescription drug or device? It’s crucial to understand your rights and options if you find yourself in such a tragic situation. Many individuals may feel overwhelmed and unsure of what steps to take next. Remember, you are not alone, and there are skilled professionals ready to help you navigate this complex legal landscape.

Unfortunately, prescription drugs and medical devices are often pushed onto the market before they have been adequately tested. This can lead to severe health repercussions for users. The pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated; however, there are still many instances where products are released without thorough testing. It is essential for consumers to be aware of these risks and advocate for their health and safety.

We represent thousands of clients dealing with complications from vaginal mesh implants. These implants, used to treat conditions that frequently occur after childbirth, are made of polypropylene and are surgically implanted. Many women report various complications, including chronic pain and discomfort, leading to significant lifestyle changes. The increasing number of complications reported with these products prompted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to require manufacturers to investigate the causes, which ultimately resulted in the recall of many of their products from the market. It’s vital for women to remain informed about the risks associated with these implants and to seek legal advice if they experience adverse effects.

Our firm also represents thousands of clients affected by Risperdal, a medication manufactured by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and approved by the FDA as an antipsychotic medication. Despite the FDA-approved purpose, J&J marketed Risperdal for use in children with mental disabilities, including autism, attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, and oppositional defiant disorder. Many adolescent boys taking Risperdal experienced significant weight gain and breast development, with some requiring breast reduction surgery. This situation raises concerns about the ethical marketing practices of pharmaceutical companies and highlights the need for consumer awareness regarding the long-term effects of prescription medications.
