If You Were Injured by a Dangerous Drug or Defective Medical Device

If You Were Injured by a Dangerous Drug or Defective Medical Device

As the FDA continues to relax the administration of their approval process regarding new prescription medications and medical devices, the number of dangerous drugs and defective products released into the marketplace has grown exponentially. In addition, industry competition often encourages manufacturers to economize in the design and testing phases of production. The haste in which the FDA and manufacturers are allowed to bring new products to market has resulted in harm to consumers.

What is a “Mass Tort”?

A “Mass Tort” occurs when a product causes harm to a significant number of victims who are injured in a similar fashion. Each plaintiff in a mass tort action has their own case and is treated as an individual in the lawsuit. Therefore, each plaintiff will seek to prove that the defendant’s negligence caused their injury.

Class Actions Generally Include More Plaintiffs than Mass Torts

In a class-action suit, the class members are treated as a single plaintiff. The large group of plaintiffs is represented by a representative of the class who speaks for all members.

Dangerous Drugs

Although many new prescription drugs are developed to offer lifesaving cures and restore the quality of life for millions of individuals, many manufacturers often attempt to bring new drugs to the marketplace before the medications are sufficiently tested. Unfortunately, their efforts to market new drugs too soon can result in life-threatening consequences for consumers. If you, a loved one, have been injured by a defective drug, contact Burg Simpson for a free case evaluation now. Our mass tort lawyers are here to protect you and your legal rights.

Defective Medical Devices

Defective medical devices that were approved by the FDA’s 510(K) abbreviated regulatory process can sometimes be brought to market in a matter of months. This can occur even without sufficient testing or clinical trials. When defective medical devices are rushed to the marketplace without adequate testing and cause harm to consumers, the manufacturers must be held accountable for the faulty technology.
