If you believe that you, or a loved one, suffered an injury due to a prescription medication, over the counter medication, or a nutritional/diet supplement, then you may be entitled to seek compensation against the pharmaceutical manufacturer, the distributor, the retailer, and/or the prescribing health care provider. Many times with this type of lawsuit, the defendant(s) may be negligent for an unreasonable failure to warn the public of an adverse side effect related to the recommended use of the drug or product.
This may occur when management, or the employees, of the product manufacturer had prior knowledge about an unreasonably dangerous side effect yet failed to disclose this information on the product’s warning label or to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Often times, these types of cases are or have been filed as a class action lawsuit where an injured party may elect to opt in, or out of, the class action depending on the facts and circumstances regarding their case.
