Dangerous Drugs: The Power to Heal or Harm
Prescription pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter drugs have the power to treat conditions and cure disease. They also have the power to seriously injure unsuspecting patients. Sometimes the medications intended to heal a patient can instead be fatal.
The attorneys of Darrell L. Castle & Associates in Memphis represent people who have been harmed by all kinds of dangerous drugs, from doctor-prescribed drugs and medications used in hospitals to over-the-counter remedies to diet aids and dietary supplements.
Motivated to Put Patients at Risk
It takes years of research, development and testing to achieve FDA approval for a new drug. By the time a drug is approved, the manufacturer is motivated to get it to market as soon as possible, to begin to recover the investment.
Because of the tremendous financial pressures, drug makers may choose to overlook potential problems with drugs.
While a medication may be effective for its intended use, it may have unintended consequences. For example, a medication given for colonoscopy preparation also damaged patients' kidneys.
Dangerous drug litigation is an extremely challenging area of law. Not every law firm is up to the challenge. Our lawyers have the resources, skills and experience to take on big pharmaceutical companies and hold them responsible for the damages they cause.
