Houston Medical Device Attorney

Each year, thousands of individuals in the United States hire a dangerous drug lawyer because they are victims of serious and deadly side effects stemming from pharmaceutical drugs or medical devices prescribed to them by their physicians that were thought to be safe. In most cases, people believe in the safety of their prescriptions because the United States Food and Drug Administration had approved the medication or medical devices. Unfortunately, many of these “FDA approved drugs and devices” cause dangerous side effects and even death. This is because many prescription and over-the-counter drugs and medical devices are poorly tested or do not carry adequate warnings about potential side effects on their labels.

If you’ve been injured because of an unsafe drug or defective medical device, contact the Padua Law Firm’s unsafe drug lawyer today for a free legal consultation.

Why Hire A Defective Drug and Medical Device Attorney?

Your Houston medical device attorney can help you evaluate your case, answer your questions, and ultimately get you compensated for your losses by holding giant pharmaceutical and medical device manufactures liable under various legal theories of product liability including: insufficient testing, design defects, or lacking instructions or warning labels. For example, if the Food and Drug Administration discovers that a previously approved drug or device’s known risks outweigh all potential benefits, a defective drug injury attorney can use that information to help hold the pharmaceutical company that manufactured them responsible for your injury or illness. Similarly, if manufacturers do not inform consumers of certain risks involved with a particular drug, or they fail to adequately notify medical providers, your defective drug injury attorney can also hold them liable for your injury.

If you’ve been a victim of faulty medical devices or unsafe pharmaceutical drugs, an experienced and successful medical device lawyer at Padua Law Firm, PLLC can help you to handle your case and help you navigate the complicated system of product liability litigation so that you can receive the compensation you deserve.
