Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What types of compensation can I receive in a pharmaceutical injury case?
Victims of pharmaceutical injuries may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and sometimes punitive damages if the drug manufacturer was negligent. - Do I need to prove that the drug was FDA-approved to file a claim?
No. Even if a drug was approved by the FDA, it can still be defective or dangerous. You must show that the drug caused harm and that the manufacturer was negligent in ensuring the drug’s safety. - Can I still file a lawsuit if the drug was recalled?
Yes. If you were harmed by a drug before it was recalled, you may still have grounds for a lawsuit. Recalls often happen after significant harm is discovered, so you may be entitled to compensation for any injuries. - How do I know if my injury is linked to a pharmaceutical drug?
Speak with a healthcare provider who can evaluate your symptoms and medical history. If there’s a possible link to a drug, consult with an attorney who can help determine if you have a case. - What is the role of expert witnesses in pharmaceutical litigation?
Expert witnesses, such as medical professionals or pharmaceutical experts, help establish the link between the drug and the injury. They also provide insights into the drug’s risks and whether the manufacturer failed to warn consumers. - Can I file a pharmaceutical injury claim on behalf of a loved one who passed away?
Yes, if a person has died due to a pharmaceutical error, their surviving family members may file a wrongful death lawsuit against the drug manufacturer. - How much will it cost to hire a pharmaceutical litigation attorney?
Many pharmaceutical lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win the case. This allows you to pursue your case without worrying about upfront legal fees.
