Today it seems there is a “magic pill” for every health concern you can imagine, many of which are more effectively solved with common sense diet and lifestyle changes. The pharmaceutical industry is booming, and one way they make their profits is by selling dangerous medications for high prices. In many cases the drug companies are fully aware of the dangers of a medication but cover them up to keep them on the market. If you have been harmed by a defective medication our Columbus personal injury attorneys can help.

Drug Defects
Medications can be defective in many ways. A defective medication can cause permanent injuries or death. In some cases a defective drug actually causes or worsens the problem it is prescribed to prevent or treat. Some defects cause injuries that patients would never imagine or anticipate. Besides carrying risks which are not disclosed by the manufacture a drug can be defective due to contamination during the manufacturing and packaging process or due to defective labeling.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective medication, please call our Columbus personal injury attorneys or submit an online questionnaire. The initial consultation with our personal injury lawyers is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, in most cases we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a personal injury lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
