(800) 532-3764 1050 30TH STREET NW WASHINGTON D.C. 20007Medical breakthroughs, including most prescription drugs and medical devices, have improved the quality of life for us and our loved ones.
We’ve come to rely on these to help us feel better and cure our illnesses, but what happens when manufacturers and drugmakers put unsafe products on the market that worsen our medical conditions, create new and dangerous symptoms, or kill us or our loved ones?
Research shows many pharmaceutical companies didn’t test their products sufficiently before selling them to patients who depended on these drugmakers to treat their medical conditions. In some cases, these companies hid studies about adverse side effects because they valued profits over safety.
In addition to the pain and suffering caused by these products, procedures or other medications that treat the side effects can be expensive.
At The Peterson Firm, we believe that drug and medical device companies — not you — should be held accountable for delivering unsafe products into the hands of consumers without warning them about potentially deadly risks.
Legal claims against these manufacturers can help cover the expense of ongoing medical costs and surgeries stemming from their products. You need to take the first step by filing a lawsuit against them. It’s your right.
We can be reached toll-free at 1-800-532-3764.
Our firm handles a multitude of lawsuits involving dangerous drugs, including low testosterone medication (Low T) AndroGel, antipsychotic drug Risperdal, Type 2 diabetes drug Actos, high blood pressure medication Benicar and male erectile dysfunction drug Viagra.
While these drugs treat those conditions, studies show they are linked to adverse side effects.
Over the last several years, thousands of people have filed lawsuits against the manufacturers of hip implants, knee replacements and transvaginal mesh. Plaintiffs in many of these cases claim the products from the device makers caused them severe, crippling pain, and forced them to have revision surgery.
Hip Implants: Recipients of metal-on-metal hips have reported infections and metal poisoning after metal ions from the devices entered their blood stream. Others have shown loss of bone around the implant, which leads to loosening of the hip.
Knee Replacements: While these implants help people regain their ability to walk, the most common problem is loosening of the device, which is caused by a faulty product or surgeon error. Faulty implants also can lead to bone fractures, infection and dislocation.
Transvaginal Mesh: The product was manufactured to treat pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence in women. However, complications include recurrence of prolapse, erosion, vaginal scarring, nerve damage, bleeding and infection, among other painful conditions.
Complications from dangerous drugs and medical devices are serious to the well-being and quality of life of those affected.
