NYC Defective Drug Lawyer
Holding pharmaceutical companies accountable for dangerous medications
Experienced Defective Drug Representation
When we take prescription medications, we trust pharmaceutical companies conducted adequate testing and disclosed all risks. Unfortunately, profit motives sometimes lead drug companies to rush products to market, hide dangerous side effects, or fail to properly warn doctors and patients.
Defective drug cases involve complex medical and scientific evidence, powerful corporate defendants with vast legal resources, and often multiple victims nationwide. These cases require attorneys with the experience and resources to take on major pharmaceutical companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a drug defective or dangerous?
A drug is defective if it has undisclosed dangerous side effects, inadequate warnings to doctors and patients, improper testing before release, manufacturing contamination, or the risks outweigh the benefits. Drug companies must fully disclose all known risks.
Can I sue if the FDA approved the drug?
Yes. FDA approval doesn't shield drug companies from liability if they concealed risks, failed to conduct adequate testing, or didn't properly warn about side effects. Many dangerous drugs were FDA-approved before serious problems emerged.
What is a drug recall and how does it affect my case?
Drug recalls occur when the FDA or manufacturer removes dangerous drugs from the market. A recall strengthens your case by establishing the drug was dangerous, but you can sue even before a recall if you suffered injuries from a defective medication.
How long do I have to file a defective drug lawsuit?
Generally three years from when you discovered (or should have discovered) the drug caused your injury. However, defective drug cases can be complex with multiple defendants and class actions, so contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights.
What compensation can I recover in a defective drug case?
You may recover medical expenses for treatment and monitoring, future medical care, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, permanent disability or disfigurement, and in cases of corporate fraud or concealment, substantial punitive damages to punish pharmaceutical companies.
