Our Defective Drug Lawyers Help Victims of Dangerous Medications

Medicine is supposed to help us. We assume that doctors prescribe drugs that are safe for us to take as directed. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Many patients suffer unexpected side effects and outcomes, some of which can become deadly. When this occurs, you might be able to seek compensation from the manufacturer of the defective and dangerous drugs.

If you experience complications or serious side effects from defective drugs, contact our lawyers at Alonso Krangle, LLP. We can determine if you have a case against the pharmaceutical company and any other parties that might be legally responsible for your injuries. Our defective drug lawyers have experience securing compensation for victims of dangerous drugs. Call us today at 800-403-6191 for a free evaluation of your defective drug claim.

Our Lawyers Can Help If You Get Injured by Prescription and Over the Counter (OTC) Defective Drugs

Litigation against pharmaceutical companies and drug manufacturers over defective drugs can potentially involve any medication. Both prescription drugs and OTC drugs have been the subject of many successful lawsuits.

When you think about the fact that pharmaceutical companies and drug manufacturers can release hundreds of drugs each year, it should be no surprise that thousands of people suffer from dangerous side effects and injuries that cause death.

Some drugs and issues that have been the subject of litigation or controversy because of claims that they are defective and dangerous include:

  • Does Zantac cause cancer?
  • Does Elmiron cause blindness?
  • Does Ranitidine increase the risk of certain cancers?
  • Injectafer might cause severe HPP
  • Pradaxa might cause uncontrolled bleeding
  • Is Losartan contaminated?
  • Does Belviq increase the risk of cancer?
  • Does Paraquat cause Parkinson’s disease?
  • Talcum powder might increase your risk of cancer.

Our Lawyers Know How to Hold Pharmaceutical Companies Liable For Dangerous Drugs

Product liability laws demand responsibilities from companies that make, market, and sell drugs. The responsibilities include making sure the drugs are safe for their intended use. A drug that is defective means that it is not safe for its intended use. It might have design defects, manufacturing defects, or labels and warnings that are inaccurate.

As part of the approval process, drug companies must conduct safety tests and trials before seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They must also submit adequate labeling, with information that reflects the possible risks, dangers and side effects of a drug. The FDA relies on this information when it makes its decision to approve the drug or not.

Just because a drug is approved does not mean it is safe. In some cases, pharmaceutical companies provide false or misleading information to the FDA to expedite approval. In other cases, drug manufacturers might not warn of some of the real dangers of the drug or not follow FDA protocols for their labels. Sometimes the FDA forces pharmaceutical companies to recall their defective drugs so they don’t continue to injure victims.

Who Might Be Liable for Injuries Caused by Dangerous Drugs

Once a drug is approved, there are additional duties that exist. For example, the drug must meet certain marketing criteria. Also, doctors and pharmacists must prescribe/sell the drugs according to their intended uses and in the correct doses.

When pharmaceutical companies, drug manufacturers, marketers, distributors or prescribers of drugs breach one of their duties, and people get injured, there might be a legal obligation to pay compensation victims. Many defective drug cases involve legal issues surrounding design flaws, manufacturing defects, improper marketing, or failure to warn.

Our defective drug lawyers at Alonso Krangle, LLP, know that there are many parties that might be liable when you get injured by a dangerous drug. We have the experience and skill to find the parties and prove their negligence. Our lawyers have the resources to uncover liability at every stage of the drug process and can determine if legal responsibility might rest with any of the following parties:

  • Drug manufacturer
  • Pharmaceutical company
  • Pharmacy
  • Doctor
  • Hospital
  • Testing laboratory
  • Pharmaceutical sales rep

Each of these parties has a variety of duties to ensure the safety of the drugs they work with. If you are injured because a duty was breached, you might be eligible to seek compensation.

What Compensation Might Be Available in Your Dangerous Drug Case?

Like other product liability or personal injury claims, injured victims might be entitled to collect compensation to cover various losses.

Victims of dangerous drugs might be able to receive compensation to cover medical expenses and lost wages. If injuries are severe, compensation might include lost future wages and the expenses of future medical treatments and other expected costs associated with long-term care or recovery. When defective drugs cause death, compensation can also include funeral expenses.

In some cases, punitive damages may be available. For example, if a pharmaceutical company deliberately falsified test results or concealed the drug’s dangers, the court might award punitive damages.

Contact Our Defective Drug Lawyers at Alonso Krangle, LLP, to Learn More About Filing a Claim

No one expects prescribed or OTC medicine to harm them. We all read labels and get an idea of what side effects are common and those that are rare. We understand the risks as they are presented to us. Even then, we hope for the best and assume our drugs will do what they are supposed to and all will be well.

It feels terrible to learn that a drug you trust has been recalled. It is frightening to find out that medication you take to fix a condition, has caused another, more serious illness.

  • Why weren’t you warned?
  • How did the drug get approved if it was dangerous?
  • Was the drug recalled?
  • Could the drug manufacturer have made it safer?
  • Did someone make a mistake that could have been avoided?

If you were injured or someone you love died after taking a recalled drug, or defective drug, call our lawyers today at 800-403-6191 for a free evaluation of your claim.

Our lawyers have experience handling defective drug cases and will be happy to listen to your story. Let us determine if you have a dangerous drug claim and are entitled to seek compensation.

Note: We currently are not accepting any cases involving these drugs: Fosamax, Actos, Benicar, Januvia, Abilify ,Daytrana, Depakote, Fresenius, Invega, Prozac, Risperdal, Testosterone, Tylenol, Victoza, Yaz

We were very fortunate to meet David Krangle
My husband and myself had been involved in a multiple vehicle accident 5 years ago. At that time we were given the name of Mr. David Krangle, attorney. It took close to 5 years of very diligent work for Mr Krangle to complete our case to everyone’s satisfaction. During those years of endless hours and hours of work that he put into our case yet whenever we reached out to Dave (as the years allowed us to call him) he was always available to us. His patience did seem endless. His professionalism in researching everything to make our turnout perfect for us was everything we expected and let us rest knowing things are following the right path. I know we were treated with the utmost respect from various insurance companies and other attorney’s because that was something Mr Krangle made sure of. In difficult times it can be intimidating to work with a professional but we were very fortunate to meet David Krangle who had the ability to share warmth and compassion with us during a trying time. Those are traits that we admired in David Krangle and are delighted to have worked with him.

Absolutely Instrumental in Helping Me Expose Medicare Fraud That My Former Employer Was Engaging In
When you have to fight Goliath you better call David. Dave was absolutely instrumental in helping me expose Medicare fraud that my former employer (one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world) was engaging in. Dave took the time to listen to my concerns and my evidence. He worked tirelessly to bring the best resources to table so that our case would be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted. In the end, the Goliath was defeated thanks to Dave!

Strongly Recommend Alonso Krangle As a Highly Experienced And Respected Firm

I consulted a close friend and well respected lawyer in the mid-Atlantic region regarding my hip revision surgery due to a medical device recall. Without hesitation, he strongly recommended contacting Alonso Krangle LLP to discuss my case. In his view, Alonso Krangle possessed extensive knowledge and experience in the type of litigation my case required, as well the respect of those throughout the judicial field for their professionalism. Equally as important, their personal focus on each individual’s case gives the client a feeling they are their only concern. My friend’s assessment could not have been more accurate.

Although in New York, Alonso Krangle could not have been more responsive or accommodating if they were located here in Virginia. I cannot recall a single time when my wife or I called their office and did not speak to either Andres Alonso or David Krangle. They were always completely available and ready to answer any and all of our questions. Their advice and recommendations were always honest, sincere, and accurate enabling us to plan accordingly. Legal proceedings can be a long process, but we never felt left out or forgotten thanks to timely updates initiated by Alonso Krangle. In the end, everything turned out as Alonso Krangle estimated from the beginning. I could not have expected better personal attention or concern from a family member handling my case. As with my friend, I too, would not hesitate to strongly recommend Alonso Krangle as a highly experienced and respected firm that will treat you like family.

Dave Krangle Worked Restlessly On This Case Until We Won
I consider David Krangle as my attorney for many years now. Going back about 13 years ago my father was involved in a hit and run accident. David had gone the extra mile to win our case….. Mr. David Krangle worked restlessly on this case until we won the case. Since then, if anybody asks for a good attorney I recommend David Krangle with confidence. He has helped a number of my friends and relatives and they all appreciated his professionalism, prompt responses to any inquiry during case development, careful study of all details pertaining to their case. He treats his clients as family. Thank you, Mr. Krangle, wishing you a continued success, good health and prosperity.

You’ll be in good hands!

I was involved in an accident and needed a good Personal Injury Attorney. A friend referred me to David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. After my initial phone conversation with David, I was confident that I found the right Attorney. David was not only extremely thorough, he kept me updated on every stage of my case. Most importantly, he was always available for questions and followed-up promptly. In most cases, the same day. Since there was a 3-hour time zone difference, I was very appreciative from a client stand point.

With his expertise and guidance, I had a successful outcome. I felt very fortunate that David and his wonderful staff represented me.

If you ever find yourself in need of expert legal advice and guidance. I highly recommend you contact David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. You’ll be in good hands!
