Pharmaceutical Litigation

Defective Pharmaceuticals – Drug Recalls

When manufacturers fail to test drugs adequately, users of the drug may experience side effects that cause injury or death. When the pharmaceutical company fails to issue a drug recall in a timely way, even more injuries or deaths may result. At Brent Coon & Associates, our attorneys have helped many people injured or the families of those killed by dangerous medications. These claims are a type of product liability lawsuit; we have obtained compensation for many people injured by dangerous drugs or other defective products.

A number of major drug companies have been the defendants in recent claims. Eli Lily, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Novartis, and Pfizer are involved in litigation over one or more of their products. These manufacturers and their products targeted common medical problems, such as arthritis pain, depression, and smoking cessation withdrawal symptoms. The potential profit on these drugs was enormous, giving the manufacturers a strong incentive to push the drugs through the evaluation process quickly. In some cases, the manufacturers fought drug recall efforts, increasing the number of people who have been injured or killed.

Our lawyers have helped people injured by widely used prescription drugs such as:

• Celebrex
• Evista
• Fosamax
• Paxil
• Serevent
• Trileptral
• Vioxx
• Welbutrin

In many instances, we have been able to obtain compensation for victims or their families for injuries or death caused by these medications. We have added their voices to those calling for a drug recall. Our lawyers believe that medications should be safe and effective; it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure that each product is tested sufficiently so that recalls are not necessary.
