Too often dangerous drugs and defective medical devices are brought to the market, causing injuries to the patients that rely on them for help. While recalls help ensure that these products are no longer made available, they do little to help the patients who may have already been injured.

In the United States, the FDA reviews and approves all new pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices before they can be used and sold by the general public. Between 2009 and 2017, the FDA approved 302 new pharmaceutical drugs—a sharp increase over the previous eight years which only saw 209 drugs approved. In 2020, the FDA approved 40 new medical devices—an increase of about 25% over the previous year.
While the FDA’s review process helps ensure a basic standard of safety, it is not flawless. In some cases, it is only after thousands of patients have used a drug or medical device that information about dangerous side effects and adverse events are brought to light.
We rely on drugs and medical devices to improve our quality of life, but sometimes companies market unsafe products that may cause terrible — sometimes irreversible — side effects.
If you’ve been injured by a medication, medical device, or medical error, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Find out if you qualify.
Pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers are required to ensure their drugs and medical devices are safe before they sell and distribute them to patients. If patients are injured from a dangerous side effect or complication that the manufacturers failed to warn about, patients may be able to hold them accountable by filing a lawsuit.
Most dangerous drug and device lawsuits include allegations that the manufacturer failed to warn of the risk for developing a severe side effect or complication. Lawsuits may also be filed if the manufacturer conducted inadequate safety testing or there was a defect in the manufacturing process, including possible contamination of medications.
