Pharmaceutical Litigation Attorneys

Patients are becoming more active involved in decision-making about the treatment of their medical conditions; however, they expect to be fully informed of the benefits and risks of those decisions. When a medical professional fails to disclose those risks or a pharmaceutical company hides or downplays the side effects of its drugs, patients who are injured may be eligible for financial compensation.

At Munley, Munley & Cartwright our firm has built a reputation over 40 years in Pennsylvania representing clients injured by dangerous drugs -- and we can help you. Our goal is to provide exceptional legal services to our clients. Contact us now for a free claim evaluation at 877-421-9173

Dangerous Drugs

Whether the medicine you are taking is a prescription drug or an over-the-counter medicine, the pharmaceutical companies providing these medicines are bound by law to provide you with products that are safe and clearly labeled with appropriate warnings and usage instructions. When unsafe products are put on the market, the American public is put at risk for serious injury, or even death.

Serious illnesses or death can be caused by drug side effects, prescription errors, or inaccurate dosage instructions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration estimates that 1.3 million patients are injured annually by drug or medication errors. The federal agency approves hundreds of new drugs every year, but sometimes a drug is sent to market that is later found to be dangerous. Many side effects from drugs that are encountered are short-term; unfortunately, some have dangerous side effects that can cause long-term damage. These drugs are often the subjects of later recalls, but are pulled off the market too late for innocent patients that have already been injured.

Defective Medical Products

A medical device is a product which is used for medical purposes in patients during diagnosis, therapy,  surgery or treatment. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates medical devices to assure their safety and effectiveness. Problems with medical devices may be caused when devices malfunction or break. Problems may also arise when users do not follow or cannot understand the instructions. Injuries caused by malfunctioning devices can lead to serious injury or death.
