Winnebago County Defective Drug Injury Lawyers

Attorneys for Those Injured by Defective Pharmaceutical Products in Rockford, IL

Prior to releasing their product to the public, pharmaceutical companies are supposed to undergo exhaustive clinical testing to ensure the product is safe. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. The Journal of American Medicine conducted a study of drugs approved by the FDA between 2001 and 2010, and found that approximately one third of them were "affected by a post-market safety event." If you or someone close to you has been harmed by a dangerous or defective drug, you may have the right to compensation.

At Mannarino & Brasfield, A Division of Schwartz Injury Law, we fight aggressively for those who have been injured by the negligence of large pharmaceutical companies and other manufacturers. Our lawyers have in-depth knowledge of defective products cases, and we have helped several victims of defective drugs obtain just compensation. There is no excuse for bringing dangerous drugs on the market and putting consumers at risk. We put our extensive experience to work to ensure that those responsible for these actions are held fully accountable.

Defective Drug Lawsuits in Illinois

In the rush to bring drugs to market, many manufacturers cut corners during the FDA approval process by omitting important information that might cause a delay in getting approved. In addition, clinical trials are typically limited to a few hundred or a couple thousand individuals over a limited period of time. As a result, some of the harmful effects of a drug do not become known until after it goes on the market.

Filing a lawsuit against a pharmaceutical company is far more complicated than a typical personal injury case. For example, if someone is injured in a car accident, there is usually physical proof, witnesses to the event, and other evidence to show the other party was at fault. This type of evidence rarely exists in defective drug cases. For this reason, more time, energy, and resources are required to ensure a favorable outcome.
