Napoli’s Work in Pharmaceutical Litigation

Modern medicine has helped people to live with debilitating diseases and cure life-threatening illnesses. However, used improperly, or without knowledge of their side effects, medicine can have the adverse effect and have an impact on an individual’s quality of life, or even result in death. Every year, thousands of Americans are injured or killed by prescription and over-the-counter medications, making it a leading cause of death in the United States. Today’s blog will discuss pharmaceutical litigation, what it is, and how Napoli Shkolnik PLLC can help you in your case.

 

What Is Pharmaceutical Litigation?

Given the proliferation of medications in the last few decades, and Americans increasing use of them, pharmaceutical litigation deals with court cases that concern medications and drugs. This field of law deals with lawsuits filed against pharmaceutical companies and related entities, practitioners, doctors, nurses, and pharmacy technicians. If a client takes a pharmaceutical product that impacts them in some negative way, they may be able to file a suit against any of the groups above and hold them accountable.

 

Pharmaceutical litigation cases

Pharmaceutical litigations can come about from just about any type of drug. For example, Effexor, a popular antidepressant, was found to cause serious birth defects. Regrettably, this is one in a sea of drugs that has serious side effects that are causing harm.

 

What Do Your Pharmaceutical Litigation Services Cover?
