Your Rights to Civil Lawsuit against Pharmaceutical Companies
Our justice system gives injured consumers remedies when they are harmed due to a manufacturer’s negligence, liability or fraud.
If you have suffered complications from an FDA approved drug or medical device, you should not have to pay the costs incurred by a corporation’s negligence. Our attorneys may be able to help you take legal action through the courts by filing a civil lawsuit against the drug or device company.
Pharmaceutical lawsuits can be large and complex. The protections of personal injury law come into play. Dangerous drugs and poorly designed medical devices can injure thousands of people. This type of personal injury lawsuit is often handled in a legal action called a “mass tort.”
What is Mass Tort Litigation?
A “tort” is a civil wrong enacted by one person that causes injury to another. Legally this includes corporations. A mass tort means that similar injuries have been caused to many victims, such as in the case of an unsafe medication marketed to thousands of people throughout the U.S. by a drug company.
Mass tort cases are often handled differently in order to make the process more efficient for both the injured plaintiff and the court. Cases are assembled in one court, and evidence is shared between the cases. This effective approach is allowed in cases where
- the same or similar side effects and complications affect hundreds or thousands of people, and
- lawsuits filed are against the same company (or companies)
Each person’s case remains an individual case, and is litigated separately. Compensation is awarded according to each plaintiff’s unique injuries or damages.
This is different from a “class action” in which all the cases for all injury victims are given the same judgment.
