Navigating Complex
Legal Claims
Defective drug and device cases are some of the most complicated legal battles you can face in Indiana. 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 Indiana market. Without proper representation from an experienced Indiana defective drug and device lawyer, 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 Indiana doctor who performed the surgery or prescribed the medication. This is a critical reason to make sure your Indiana 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 Indiana patients’ 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 an Indiana law firm that can withstand appeals and delays and has the necessary financial backing to investigate and present your claim.
Understanding Statute of Limitations
In Indiana, you typically have two years from the date you discovered your injury to file a defective drug or device lawsuit. However, these cases take time to investigate and build properly. The sooner you contact our Indiana defective drug and device lawyers, the better we can protect your rights and preserve crucial evidence before it disappears.

The Hard Truth
Indiana Defective Drug And Device Statistics That Demand Action
The pharmaceutical and medical device industries’ track records show why Indiana residents need experienced legal advocates 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.

Compensation Available for Indiana Defective Drug and Device Victims
If you’ve been injured by a defective drug or medical device due to a manufacturer’s negligence, you may be entitled to various types of compensation under Indiana law.
Economic Damages
These are quantifiable financial losses, including:
- Medical expenses (past, current, and future treatment costs)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Costs of revision surgeries or device removal procedures
- Rehabilitation and therapy costs
- Home modification expenses for permanent disabilities
- In-home care costs
- Travel expenses for specialized medical treatment
Non-Economic Damages
These more subjective damages compensate for:
- Pain and suffering from the defective product
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement and scarring from failed devices
- Loss of consortium (impact on marital relationship)
Punitive Damages
In cases involving extreme recklessness, fraud, or intentional concealment of known dangers, Indiana courts may award punitive damages designed to punish the pharmaceutical company or device manufacturer and deter similar behavior across the industry.
Wrongful Death Damages
When defective drugs or devices result in fatalities, surviving Indiana family members may recover compensation for funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship and guidance, and the pain and suffering of their loved one before death.
