Dangerous Drugs

Pharmaceutical companies are working continually to develop, produce and market medications that fight disease and save lives. Each day, dedicated medical professionals recommend drugs to help manage health conditions, alleviate suffering and improve quality of life for millions of Americans.

But drug companies, under pressure to recover development costs and generate profits, sometimes downplay side effects or fail to perform adequate testing before a medication goes to market. At the same time, inappropriately prescribed medications can cause drug interactions or adverse reactions in the unsuspecting people who take them. In fact, problems with medications result in 200,000 deaths and 2.2 million injuries each year.

Sokolove Law's affiliate network includes co-counsel firms with experience in handling even the most challenging Dangerous Drug cases. We’ve helped thousands of patients collect damages for injuries caused by harmful, defective or inappropriately prescribed medication. We've also pursued and won hundreds of wrongful death claims on behalf of survivors of patients who died from medication-related injuries.
