Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Nationwide
Hundreds of thousands of people have been harmed or suffered wrongful death due to dangerous prescription drugs, over-the-counter supplements and medical devices.
The Philadelphia product liability attorneys at Golomb & Honik have successfully represented clients from across the country who have been the victims of dangerous prescription pharmaceuticals, harmful medical devices and store-bought remedies sold with deceptive marketing.
Time Critical in Dangerous Drug and Medical Device Cases
Time is of the essence in dangerous drug and medical device claims. Although a few states allow three years or more from the time of harm or discovery of harm to file a lawsuit, most states have a statute of limitations of only one to two years.
Many dangerous drug and medical device lawsuits stem from inadequate warnings or fraud in product sales and marketing materials. The nationally renowned attorneys at Golomb & Honik are currently accepting cases related to:
- Actos
- Fosamax
- Levaquin
- NexGen Knees
- Yasmin and Yaz
- Zocor
- AlloDerm hernia patches
- Artificial hips (DePuy Pinnacle hip implants)
- Transvaginal mesh
- Fungal Meningitis
Our team has recovered millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for victims of hazardous prescription medication and dangerous or ineffective supplements.
Fault in Dangerous Drug and Medical Device Cases
Regardless of regulations and the safeguards of agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), hundreds of dangerous prescription drugs, over-the-counter supplements and medical devices are sold to consumers each year.
Makers of prescription drugs, nutritional supplements and medical devices may be held responsible for the resulting harm of their products if those goods reached consumers with:
- A design defect – A flaw in the intended design of the product
- A manufacturing defect – A problem in the production process, such as the introduction of a hazardous substance
- Deceptive marketing – Faulty instructions or exaggerated or otherwise erroneous information about the product and its promoted effects
- Failure to warn – Lack of warning regarding potentially injurious or deadly side-effects
