Pharmaceutical companies are expected to put reasonably safe products on the market. Medications should be properly researched, and the data from any clinical studies should accurately reflect their findings. However, companies sometimes minimize or hide the dangers of their drug for profit. If a patient has been injured by a pharmaceutical company’s desire to profit, they may have a strong basis for an injury claim.
Medication manufacturers may act negligently in variety of ways, including:
Failing to warn about known side effects-falsifying clinical data-unsafely designing medication-dangerous or unclean manufacturing conditions-leaving defects in medication design-intentionally misrepresenting medication safety
Any of these types of negligence and more may warrant a dangerous drug lawsuit against the drug manufacturer. Contrary to what many believe, a recall of a drug is not required for a drug lawsuit to be successful. However, a plaintiff might have a better chance at a successful dangerous medication claim with the assistance of a skilled Chicago lawyer.
