Side Effects of Dangerous Drugs in Salt Lake City

Today's society is heavily reliant on prescription drugs and other medical devices to control many disorders, illnesses and conditions. As a consumer, we expect that those drugs and products will be safe if used as intended. Sadly, this is not always the case. Nationwide sales of prescriptions drugs have dramatically increased in the past ten to twenty years, creating a situation where many individuals are being harmed by new and improperly tested prescription drugs and other medical devices and products. These products have caused untold harm to millions of people, affecting their lives in numerous ways. Some of the serious side effects from defective drugs include:

• Kidney damage or failure
• Pancreatic cancer
• Diabetes
• Severe allergic reactions
• Bone fractures
• Liver damage or failure
• Heart attacks
• Strokes
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Pulmonary embolism
• Gallbladder removal
• Other organ damage or failure
• Death

Many of these drugs are commonly in use and still on the market, despite having severe side effects. They have been given "black box" warnings, which do little to make up for the damage they have caused to you and your family. If you or a loved one is suffering from an illness or injury due to a defective drug or product, the Zabriskie Law Firm in Salt Lake City can assist you with many different types of claims.

Salt Lake City Dangerous Drug Lawyer

In many different types of defective pharmaceutical drug and prescription cases brought to us, we have helped the victims of defective antidepressants and medications which caused illness or injury to the person taking the medication. Defective medication can be extremely dangerous, as improper substances entering a person's body can not only cause illness, but even permanent damage to the body or brain. Products such as Prozac, Trasylol, Yaz, Yasmin & Ocella, as well as Paxil have caused serious injury, unexpected side effects or death to some users when side effects or warnings were not explained or presented properly on packaging. We assist the victims of these kinds of incidents by investigating the possibility of fault on the part of the manufacturer in issuing the drug without proper warnings.

Other incidents we see involving product liability such as these sometimes involve defective medical devices, or toxic chemical exposure due to certain materials or working conditions. This can include asbestos / mesothelioma and other toxic substances such as those found in manufacturing environments or even certain cleaning supplies. By fighting to prove the fault of the manufacturers of dangerous products, we assist our clients in receiving the compensation they deserve and need to help recover from their injuries or illness.

In addition to dangerous drugs, our society also finds itself facing many defective products being manufactured, which have led to serious injuries and even death to many unsuspecting individuals. Due to carelessness, poor design, or outright negligence, consumers have faced numerous accidents and injuries which have resulted from a manufacturer failing to take the proper care they should with safety standards or misleading the public by failing to disclose information on possible defects and dangers in their products. Our legal team can help you pursue compensation for many types of defective products such as defective tires, defective cars & car parts, defective seat belts & air bags, defective industrial equipment and even dangerous toys. We are also able to help pursue lawsuits relating to the DePuy hip recall and transvaginal mesh, as well as painful side effects from Accutane and denture adhesive cream.

Some defective products go beyond single person or small incident accidents or defects, such as when important manufactured parts are used in public or large forms of transportation. Many instances of defective production or manufacturing result in serious accidents. These can include train & railroad accidents due to any number of possible defective parts, plane & aviation accidents caused by improperly installed equipment, as well as boating accidents from broken, badly installed or defective parts. No matter the cause of the accident, the devastation resulting from one of these accidents can range from minor injuries to something as serious as multiple deaths.
