Contra Costa Dangerous Drug Attorneys

Dangerous Drugs

Both prescription and over-the-counter medication helps millions of people every day. These drugs reduce the symptoms of a cold, fight infection, lower blood pressure, reduce stomach acids and provide a wide range of other useful and helpful results. When these drugs do not perform as intended or interact harmfully with other drugs, they can result in very serious injury or even death for the unfortunate person using them. For the most part, drugs work quickly and alleviate the unwanted symptoms. However, the dangers of some drugs do not become apparent until after weeks or months of daily use, resulting in significant health problems for the user. Have you or someone you care for been injured by medication? The Northern California dangerous drugs lawyers at personal injury law firm Balamuth Harrington, LLP, may be able to help.

Northern California Dangerous Drugs Law Firm Helping People

Defective and otherwise dangerous drugs kill and injure thousands of people every year. Hardly a day goes by without a story about the dangerous side effects of a drug appearing on the front page of a newspaper. The companies that manufacture these drugs can be held accountable if:

• The manufacturer fails to provide adequate instructions for use
• The manufacturer fails to warn of possible dangers of using the drug, including harmful interactions with other drugs
• The pharmaceutical causes injury or death
• They don't list possible side effects of taking the drug
• They sell a defective product that causes harm

Companies that manufacture prescriptions and over-the-counter medication have a responsibility to ensure that their products are safe to use and reliable. The advertisement and marketing for these products must be honest about the drug, its capabilities and any harmful effects of using it so that consumers can make informed decisions about whether to use the drug or not.
