If you believe that you suffered injuries due to a dangerous drug manufactured and produced by a pharmaceutical company, you need knowledgeable legal counsel by your side every step of the way. First of all, a lawyer may begin an investigation into the drug and determine whether or not a recall happened. If you have a viable claim, your attorney could pursue a case against the pharmaceutical company on your behalf individually or as part of a class action.
Many drug cases ultimately settle out of court. However, a lawyer is typically dealing with a large pharmaceutical company and its insurers. Settlement negotiations in drug injury cases can take many weeks or months. A Florida drug injury lawyer could take part in negotiations with the insurance company on your behalf and ensure that any settlement offer fully and fairly compensates you for your injuries. If the insurance company does not want to give you the full value for your case, your attorney could litigate the case in the state or federal court system, and if necessary, take your case to a jury trial.
