Drug Liability
Dangerous and Defective Drugs
Pharmaceutical companies are required to put the safety of consumers before profits. Physicians and pharmacists are required to hold to a professional standard of care. When these corporations and professionals fail to uphold their responsibilities and market dangerous or defective prescription drugs patients may be seriously injured or die.
If you have been seriously injured as a result of the use of a prescription drug an attorney from our Baton Rouge, Louisiana, law firm,
McGlynn, Glisson, and Mouton, will help you determine how to proceed. Contact our office at the earliest opportunity to make arrangements for a free consultation.
Pharmaceutical Liability Litigation
Our lawyers have the experience and the resources necessary to handle the complex and difficult litigation involved in pharmaceutical liability and medical malpractice cases and have handled defective drug claims at the national level. We have a doctor and several nurse paralegals on our staff and will assemble a legal team with the power to face large corporations.
Marketing and Recalls of Defective Drugs
In spite of testing and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation, sources estimate that over half of all drugs marketed to the public are dangerous, and over 200,000 people die every year from the use of those drugs. By holding pharmaceutical companies responsible for these losses through
personal injury claims, including those for
wrongful death, our attorneys help prevent future tragedies.
