The damage a defective drug can cause goes far beyond a bad reaction. We have seen clients deal with organ failure, permanent nerve damage, cardiovascular events, cancer, and severe psychological harm, all traced back to a medication that was supposed to be safe.
Some people lose their ability to work. Others face a lifetime of ongoing medical treatment. Families are torn apart by wrongful deaths caused by drugs that never should have been on the market. These are not minor inconveniences. They are catastrophic injuries that change everything.

New York law gives you the right to pursue compensation when a defective product causes you harm. Drug manufacturers, distributors, and even pharmacies can be held liable under product liability law if a medication was defectively designed, improperly manufactured, or sold without adequate warnings about known risks.
You do not need to prove the company intended to hurt you. You need to prove the drug was unreasonably dangerous and that it caused your injuries. Â
Liability in a defective drug case does not always stop with the manufacturer. Depending on the facts of your situation, we may pursue claims against the company that designed the drug. This facility manufactured or packaged it, the distributor that supplied it, or even the prescribing physician if they failed to warn you about known risks. Every link in the chain that brought that drug to you can potentially be held responsible.
If a defective drug harmed you, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, future treatment costs, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
In cases where a pharmaceutical company acted with reckless disregard for public safety, punitive damages may also be available. We pursue every category of damages that applies to your situation because you should not be left paying for injuries someone else caused.
