Filing a lawusit against a pharmaceutical company for their bad drug doesn't only help you, it saves the lives of others.

Your doctor prescribed you a drug they believed would help you, but it didn't.  The drug you were prescribed has caused more harm than good and left you with terrible side effects that put your health at further risk.

...how could this have happened?

4 reasons to file a lawsuit against a drug company if you were hurt by their product:
    
♦ A bad drug has caused major changes in your well-being
     ♦ A bad drug has put your finances in ruin
     ♦ A bad drug has changed your life
     ♦ Giant drug companies make billions from drugs that have inadequate warnings

In the early 90's Congress asked the FDA to work with drug companies to speed the process at which new medications were approved. President Clinton joined their plea for quicker drug approval, asking that the FDA see pharmaceutical companies as “partners, not adversaries.” This cry to action was intended to accelerate the rate at which AIDS drugs were available to the public. The intention was honorable; however, the repercussions are still being felt today.

It's no secret that big drug companies aggressively lobby politicians to help speed up drug approval times.  And once the drug is approved, the drug company will spend billions on advertising campaigns.   

This expedited drug approval process, along with the enormous sums of money drug companies pour into Congress and patient advocacy groups, means that FDA approved drugs are not as safe as they once were. In a period of seven years, seven drugs were responsible for at least 1,002 deaths in the United States. This number includes at least 24 deaths in children under six due to the use of heartburn drug called Propulsid. In clinical trials, eight children had died, yet doctors were not warned about the risks to children. Before being pulled the drug generated over $2.5 billion dollars in sales.

Due to the deep pockets of drug manufactures, questionable drugs continue to flood the market, only to be recalled after they have harmed or killed numerous Americans. For the families who have lost a loved one or for people who suffer the lifelong repercussions of taking a bad drug, no amount of money will fill their loss. However, if enough victims stand up and demand to be heard, the drug companies and Congress alike will be forced to look at dangerous drugs as a serious problem.



Keller & Keller has compiled an extensive list of drugs  that have harmed individuals who the medicine should have helped. Their staff works hard to keep updated on new drugs as well as older drugs that may not have been recalled. It is crucial that any suspected reactions to medications are reported immediately to a physician. In addition to being treated, it is vital that the affected person’s reactions are reported. This is important, as the numbers of adverse reactions to medications are grossly under-reported, leaving the victim unaccounted for and putting thousands of lives at risk.
