Texas Drug Litigation Attorney
Experienced Drug Litigation Lawyer at Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C.
When a new drug is launched, there is often a presumption of safety, fueled by extensive clinical trials and FDA approval processes. Warnings regarding potential side effects are typically communicated through package inserts and promotional materials. However, this presumption can be misleading. What is marketed as a “safe” medication can sometimes lead to severe, unexpected side effects or even fatalities.
Understanding Drug Litigation
Drug litigation is a specialized and intricate field within personal injury law that demands a robust blend of legal expertise, experience, and meticulous attention to detail. At Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C., we are committed to representing clients who have endured injuries or the tragic loss of a loved one due to defective drugs. Our team navigates the complexities of bureaucratic systems and corporate defense strategies to advocate for the rights of those affected.
The Risks of Prescription Medications
While a new medication undergoes rigorous testing before reaching the market, unforeseen complications can arise after it is widely prescribed. Patients may experience severe side effects that were not disclosed in the original safety information. These adverse effects can be exacerbated by interactions with other medications or underlying health conditions, turning what was meant to be a beneficial treatment into a dangerous liability.
Seeking Justice for Victims
If you or a loved one has suffered due to a prescription drug, it’s crucial to understand your rights. Contact us to discuss your case with a skilled drug injury lawyer.
Determining Liability in Drug-Related Injuries
Who is responsible when a drug causes harmful side effects? Liability can be complex and multifaceted. Drug manufacturers may be shielded from lawsuits if they adequately communicate risks through warning labels or advertisements. However, we often encounter cases where serious side effects were not disclosed or where patients were affected before warnings were issued.
A medication intended to enhance health can, paradoxically, lead to grave health issues or even death. Proving causation—demonstrating that the drug directly caused the injury—along with overcoming the presumption of safety, are significant hurdles we tackle on behalf of our clients.
Our Comprehensive Approach
At Herrman & Herrman, we leverage a network of industry experts and medical professionals to uncover hidden dangers associated with pharmaceutical products. Our thorough investigation process is designed to gather evidence, strengthen your case, and hold negligent parties accountable.
We are dedicated to helping our clients navigate the legal landscape and strive for justice and compensation for their suffering.
If you believe you have a claim related to a dangerous drug, don’t hesitate to reach out for a consultation. Your road to recovery starts with us.
When a new drug is introduced to the market, a presumption exists that the drug is safe. The process starts with lengthy trials and FDA approval. Warnings of side effects are communicated via printing on the package and commercials promoting the new drug.
Sometimes a so-called “safe drug” is actually dangerous and deadly due to side effects or interactions with other medication. For help, contact us today for a FREE consultation.
Who is liable for side effects causing injuries? Talk to a drug injury lawyer and know your claims.
The “black box” or warning label on the drug’s packaging should call attention to all side effects. Drug manufacturers may be immune to lawsuits when the negative aspects of their defective products are clearly communicated on the container or in a commercial.
However, we handle many cases where additional side effects were not listed. Some clients took the drug before any warnings were noted. A drug that was supposed to improve health can cause more serious health problems, with some resulting in fatalities.
Proving causation and overcoming the presumption that the drug was safe are only some of the challenges we face on behalf of our clients. We also call upon our network of industry experts to verify the drug’s unpublished and hidden dangers. These are the first of many steps we take on behalf of our clients in getting them on the road to recovery.
CONTACT HERRMAN & HERRMAN IF YOU HAVE BEEN INJURED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF ACCIDENTS:
Our Texas personal injury lawyers help clients who have suffered injuries in various accidents.
We can help you if you have been harmed by the following:
- Car accidents – Our lawyers have extensive experience handling car accident cases. We will work to identify the party or parties at fault for the crash and build a case to demonstrate persuasively how the parties caused the accident and your injuries. We will seek fair and full compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial if necessary.
- Truck accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel the roads of Texas every single day. Unfortunately, careless truck drivers and trucking companies disregarding safety put innocent people at risk of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a truck accident, let our experienced Texas personal injury lawyers stand up to the trucking companies and insurers on your behalf.
- Motorcycle accidents – Motorcycle riders often suffer grievous injuries in crashes caused by other motorists. Too many motorcycle accidents in Corpus Christi are caused by careless drivers who don’t look for motorcycle riders or violate their right of way. Our personal injury lawyers will work to cut through the bias and stigma against motorcycle riders. Our goal is to seek the financial compensation that you’ll need to recover from a serious motorcycle accident and injuries such as bone fractures, road rash, or traumatic brain injury.
- Product liability – Product manufacturers have a legal obligation to make products that are safe for their intended uses and to warn consumers of any risks that may come with the product. When products have design or manufacturing defects or undisclosed dangers, the product manufacturer may be legally responsible for injuries suffered by consumers. Our attorneys can help you evaluate whether you have a valid product liability claim.
- Brain injury – Brain injuries can leave accident victims with disabilities that leave them unable to work or perform many tasks of daily living. Seeking compensation for a brain injury in an accident often proves incredibly complex. The brain injury survivor may seek compensation for anticipated future medical care and the medical care already provided. Our personal injury lawyers can help you through the difficult recovery process following a brain injury and will fight to make sure you have the resources you need.
- Spinal injury – Spinal cord injuries could cost millions of dollars of care over the course of the victim’s lifetime, especially when those injuries result in partial or complete paralysis, such as paraplegia or quadriplegia. If you or your loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, you deserve compassionate legal representation. Our attorney can help you determine whether you may be entitled to claim compensation for your injury and expenses related to living with the disability, such as making a home more accessible.
- Wrongful death – If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another party, your family deserves to seek accountability and compensation from those at fault for the wrongful death.
