Richmond, KY Defective Medical Product Law Firm

When you entrust your well-being to a health care professional, you rely on his or her expert opinion about medicines, procedures, and medical devices. However, no matter how experienced and competent your physician or specialist is, they aren’t the ones who manufacture and test the pharmaceuticals or medical devices that they prescribe. Doctors will often prescribe medicine in good faith because they are unaware that the pharmaceutical company didn’t perform comprehensive tests or that they failed to fully report their findings to the Food and Drug Administration. If you or a loved one has been the victim of defective medical products, the Corbin, KY personal injury firm of Freeman Childers can represent you in your pursuit of justice.

Before a company is allowed to introduce a new medicine or device into the U.S. market, it must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The pharmaceutical company must perform a number of studies and then disclose the results to the FDA. That agency will then determine whether the product will be approved and what warnings must accompany it on its packaging and during its marketing. Most pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers know that too many warnings can destroy the potential market for their product. In some instances, makers of drugs and surgical devices have downplay the side effects or dangers of their products. When this occurs, it’s the patient who suffers an injury or wrongful death as a result of the manufacturer’s duplicity.
