Defective Drugs

Nearly 50 percent of people in the United States are on some form of prescription drug. You trust your doctor to prescribe medications that are both safe and effective. Unfortunately, drug companies are often more interested in profit than in product safety, and they may push medications to market before they have been adequately tested. Additionally, drugs that have been safe for years may become tainted during manufacturing, making a safe product potentially harmful, and even deadly.

The experienced defective drug attorneys at Guerra & Moore know how these products can impact every area of your life. From medications that do not work as intended, to those that cause serious injuries and medical complications from side effects, these defects can alter a life. We can help you hold the party responsible for your injuries accountable.

In the past few years, many drugs have been recalled, resulting in class action lawsuits against drug companies. Even when a drug has not been recalled, it may cause serious harm to those taking it. Your right to seek damages caused by defective drugs, even those that have not been recalled, has been protected by the United States Supreme Court. The attorneys at Guerra & Moore have over a decade of experience in litigating these cases. We are not afraid to take the drug companies to court, fighting to get you and your family every penny you deserve.

Reasons to Litigate

Settling out of court with a drug manufacturer may seem like a good idea. But when you have suffered an injury from a defective drug, the settlements offered are often inadequate to cover all of your losses. When you contact Guerra & Moore to handle you case, we can seek damages for your injuries including:

1. The cost of the current prescription
2. All current and future medical expenses related to the injury
3. Loss of current and future wages
4. Pain and suffering

The settlements gained in trials or by using the threat of a trial can greatly exceed those initially offered by the drug companies. Even when a class action lawsuit is underway, you may be able to receive additional compensation with your own lawsuit.
