Every day, millions of people around the country rely on prescriptions and over-the-counter medications to manage their pain, treat chronic illnesses, and recover after an injury or surgery. These individuals rely on pharmaceutical companies to produce products that are safe for their intended use.

Taking any medication is a personal choice between a patient and a medical professional. Even relatively safe substances such as aspirin or antacids have potential side effects that can have a powerful impact on a person’s health. Deciding whether to take a drug always involves a consideration of the possible benefits and risks.
Patients and doctors rely on accurate data from drugmakers to make this decision. To place a drug on the market, drugmakers must perform extensive tests and submit their findings to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval. Any attempt to avoid this approval process or provide false information to the FDA is inexcusable. Unfortunately, this still happens all too often.
Our attorneys are prepared to bring dangerous drug lawsuits and hold manufacturers accountable. Even if a drugmaker satisfies every requirement to receive FDA approval, it may still be liable for producing an inherently dangerous medication. To make this case, your local attorney must prove the drug was dangerous due to its chemical composition and that a potential alternative design would have prevented your injury. A Webster Groves dangerous drugs attorney at OnderLaw will stand with you every step of the way in seeking justice for your suffering.
Dangerous drug lawsuits are often complex. Proving that a medication caused your injury may require analyzing the drug’s chemical composition and proposing alternative designs that would provide the drug’s stated benefits without the risks. Our skilled lawyers work with experts who can testify that a drug is dangerous.
Another potential pitfall in these cases is the statute of limitations. This law places a time limit on all claims for compensation following a personal injury. Missouri Statute § 516.120 says that most people have five years from the date of injury to demand compensation. The sooner you reach out to OnderLaw, the sooner our pharmaceutical litigation attorneys can begin supporting you in your recovery and fighting for the compensation you deserve. Our dangerous drugs lawyers in Webster Groves aren’t just on your side; we’re by your side.
Anyone who suffers an injury because of the negligence or recklessness of another party has the right to demand compensation. This includes negligent and dishonest corporations like pharmaceutical manufacturers.
