Parker County Dangerous Drugs and Devices Attorney


Most people assume that if their doctor prescribes them a new medication, it is safe and it will help them. After all, in order for it to be available in the first place, it has been tested and approved by the FDA and the manufacturer will have conducted countless years of studies before that. Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is that not all drugs made available to the general public are as safe as they claim to be. Through invariably nefarious means, the pharmaceutical companies rush their products to market, hoping to capitalize on their cutting-edge status and start generating millions of dollars in revenue within a matter of months.

The problem is that the dangers of certain drugs enormously outweigh any potential benefits for patients, and often it is several years after a product goes to market before the evidence comes to light which shows just how hazardous the risks associated with a particular medication really are. The FDA might decide to ban the medicine at that stage, or the manufacturer might voluntarily recall the product, but it's too late: the damage has been done.

You probably remember the infamous Fen-Phen case of the late nineties. The anti-obesity drug was widely available on the market before it became clear that the manufactures had withheld critical information from the FDA that showed their product increased the risk of serious cardiac problems. Both pharmaceutical lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm, Mark Anderson and Robert Kisselburgh were able to resolve claims for compensation against the manufacturers of Fen-Phen on behalf of their clients, and Robert in particular was instrumental in developing the initial litigation which resulted in a multi-million dollar verdict against the company.

New drugs and prosthetic implants previously thought to be safe are being exposed as hazardous all the time. In 2011 alone, there have been a number of products which while once widely available are now of concern. These include the DePuy ASR XL Hip Replacement, which has been found to cause severe pain necessitating additional expensive surgeries; the popular birth control pill Yaz, which may elevate potassium in the blood stream, triggering blood clots, heart attacks and strokes; and the diabetes medicine Actos, which is potentially linked to an increased risk of bladder cancer.

Sadly, this list is by no means exhaustive. There are many other drugs and devices which also pose risks to patients which are far in excess of any benefits they are supposed to deliver.

If you or a loved one has suffered adversely as a result of taking a dangerous drug or receiving a defective implant, it is important that you speak to an experienced personal injury lawyer who has experience in dealing with pharmaceutical cases.
