Right Firm. Right Now.Dangerous & Defective Drug Attorneys in Victoria
Serving Clients throughout Texas & Nationwide
When a doctor prescribes a medication to help you overcome a health problem, you have a right to expect it will be safe and effective. Drug companies should disclose relevant information to doctors and patients. After all, prescription medications go through extensive testing by the Federal Drug Administration before they become available to the public. Unfortunately for patients and their doctors, the FDA does not know the status of many post-approval studies promised by drug companies.
In one study, the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services said the FDA should improve its monitoring of studies. The Inspector General said 35% of 336 annual reports due in 2004 were missing entirely or contained no information on open, post-marketing study commitments. The FDA validated only 30% of the reports.
Dangerous medications can cause severe side effects and even death.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What qualifies as a dangerous or defective drug?
A dangerous or defective drug is one that causes harmful side effects, health complications, or death due to its design, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn consumers of potential risks. Prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and even herbal supplements can all be classified as dangerous if they cause serious harm.
2. How do I know if my injury was caused by a defective drug?
If you or a loved one experienced adverse side effects, health complications, or worsening of a condition after taking a medication, it may be related to a defective drug. Consult with a medical professional immediately and then contact our attorneys to evaluate whether your case involves a dangerous or defective drug.
3. Can over-the-counter drugs or supplements be considered dangerous?
Yes. Over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements can be considered dangerous if they cause unexpected and serious side effects. Just like prescription drugs, manufacturers of these products are responsible for ensuring their safety and providing adequate warnings about potential risks.
4. What damages can I recover in a dangerous drug lawsuit?
In a dangerous drug lawsuit, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses (both past and future)
- Lost wages or loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death (if a loved one has passed away due to a dangerous drug)
Our attorneys will work to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve for the harm caused by a defective drug.
