Why You Need a Defective Drug And Device Lawyer
When a medication or medical device harms you instead of helps you, the manufacturers have already started protecting themselves. These aren’t small operations—they’re billion-dollar corporations with armies of lawyers whose job is to minimize what they pay out. You need someone on your side who knows how to fight back.

Navigating Complex
Legal Claims
Defective drug and device cases are some of the most complicated legal battles you can face. These cases involve FDA regulations, complex medical evidence, pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, device engineering specifications, and corporate defendants who’ve been preparing for lawsuits since before their products hit the market. Without proper representation, you’re facing an uphill battle against opponents who’ve done this thousands of times before.
It’s never correct to assume the drug or device company is the only defendant that has liability. Medical companies can spend millions of dollars pushing a product into the marketplace, and several groups are often involved in making that possible. Examples of others who might be liable include suppliers of particular parts, vendors, distributors, and even the doctor who performed the surgery or prescribed the medication. This is a critical reason to make sure your defective drug and device lawyer has experience handling complex claims.
Understanding Insurance Company Tactics
Drug companies and device manufacturers make billions every year, and sometimes their profits come at the expense of public health. They have entire legal departments dedicated to defending against injury claims, and they’ll use every tactic in the book to avoid paying what you deserve. They’ll dispute causation, blame pre-existing conditions, claim they provided adequate warnings, and argue that the benefits outweighed the risks—anything to protect their bottom line.
Make no mistake, these types of cases are often expensive and time-consuming, and medical companies often employ high-priced defense attorneys who take as long as needed to protect their assets. For this reason, it’s important you choose a law firm that can withstand appeals and delays and has the necessary financial backing to investigate and present your claim.
Understanding Statute of Limitations
Time limits for filing defective drug and device lawsuits vary by state, but they’re typically between two to four years from when you discovered the injury. However, these cases take time to investigate and build properly. The sooner you contact us, the better we can protect your rights and preserve vital evidence before it disappears.

The Hard Truth
Defective Drug And Device Statistics That Demand Action
The pharmaceutical and medical device industries’ track records show why we need to hold them accountable.
Studies show 6.7% of hospitalized patients suffer serious adverse drug reactions. This makes ADRs the 4th leading cause of death—ahead of diabetes, pneumonia, and car accidents.
This means the true number of injuries is far higher than reported. Even though serious adverse event reports doubled from 2006 to 2014, most victims never report their injuries, leaving dangerous products on the market and putting more lives at risk.
These activities occurred between 2003 and 2016, totaling $33 billion. From 1991 to 2021, drug makers paid $62.3 billion in penalties across 482 cases. Despite these massive fines, many companies treat penalties as just another business expense and continue putting profits over safety.
