Drug and Medical Device Lawyers

We are Now Reviewing Abilify Gambling Cases and Neocate Fracture Cases

Each day, we use hundreds of products with relative ease and safety. Unfortunately, if the pill or supplement you take is defective, you can be severely injured. Manufacturers of drugs and supplements could be held responsible for sale of defective products, devices, and drugs. The responsibility of the drug manufacturer is to make sure the consumer receives a safe product. It is their duty to design, test, manufacture, and package a product appropriately. Because of the expert testimony and understanding of pharmacology these cases require, proving drug manufacturer responsibility for a defective product can be both complicated and costly.

The Nashville defective and dangerous drug attorneys at The Higgins Firm constantly look to protect our clients from potentially harmful drugs in Nashville and it’s surrounding areas. Below are just some of the defective drugs we’re working on:

Why are so many dangerous or defective drugs being prescribed? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), responsible for testing and approving every drug made available in this country, has come under increasing pressures in the past two decades from drug manufacturers who want faster approvals and a less strict testing process.

The FDA itself admits that not all serious adverse drug reactions are documented by the time a drug is marketed. The safety profile for new drugs that come on the market is never totally defined because new drugs are studied in relatively small and homogenous patient populations. As dangerous as it sounds, the final safety profile of a new drug comes after it has been approved and is in use by the public.

There is also the classic story of corporations putting profits over people. The pharmaceutical industry is a multi-billion dollar business and the competition to bring a new drug to market is fierce. Some companies have gone so far as to purposefully hide evidence from the FDA in order to a get a drug approved.
