DANGEROUS & DEFECTIVE DRUG AND MEDICAL DEVICE CASES
Even a slight brush with the health care system in the United States will place Tulsa and Oklahoma residents in contact with one of the most powerful and influential organizations in the world–the pharmaceutical industry. With total sales that eclipse the gross national product of all but the largest industrial nations, drug companies wield almost unbridled power over those who could only hope to keep us safe from dangerous and inappropriate drugs, the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and even your own doctor. Compounding the problem are pharmaceutical company advertising budgets and industry media campaigns that effectively promote unsafe drugs as being essential to our health and well-being. Even Conscientious and well informed citizens are made to trust that the companies who sell these drugs and medical devices ensure that they are safe before they are ever sold to the public.
When a pharmaceutical company undertakes the manufacture and marketing of its prescription drugs and medical devices it becomes legally obligated to do so in a way that ensures that the medication or device is safe and effective for its intended purpose. With profit margins that even the largest oil companies can’t match one can easily grasp that proper research and development in many cases is not accomplished before the drug or device is released to the public. Even worse, some manufacturers fully aware of the dangerous propensities of a particular device or drug purposefully choose to mislead or keep the public misinformed as to the medical product’s unreasonable risks or potential side effects. Monetary and other damages for the victims of these activities are available to those who can obtain the proper legal resources needed to take on these pharmaceutical giants.
