Dangerous Drugs and Medications in Pennsylvania
When people take medicines and drugs to improve their physical health, they have reasonable expectations that the possible side effects of those drugs will not adversely affect their overall health. Pharmaceutical companies have the responsibility to properly and honestly disclose risks and side effects and to manufacture drugs that are safe. Due to their very nature, dangerous drugs can cause serious injuries for those who take them if the patients are not properly warned of the risks and instructed how to administer the drugs.
The Pennsylvania defective drug lawyers at Hill & Associates, P.C. are dedicated to helping those who have been harmed by dangerous and defective products. By filing a product liability claim against the company who manufactured the drug that harmed you, it may be possible to recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering. Punitive damages may also apply if the company was aware of the defects.

Product Liability and Dangerous Drugs
Manufacturers of drugs and other products must test their products prior to sending them to market. They must also notify consumers of possible dangers and side effects that could accompany approved uses of those products. If a defect exists, either through design or manufacture, the manufacturer may be held liable for any injuries the defect causes to product consumers.
Manufacturers must also adequately warn potential users with proper labeling and clear instructions. Drug companies that are aware of side effects, but do not warn those who may take the drugs about the side effects, should be held accountable. With an experienced lawyer on your side, your rights will be heard.
