Product liability for dangerous drugs and medical devices covers manufacturers, distributors, and medical facilities when negligence leads to harm.

Damages can include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. In some cases, future medical needs and long-term care costs may be recoverable. The exact amount depends on the specifics of your injury and the impact on your life. Whether a settlement or trial yields more, depends on the evidence and negotiations.
In California, there is a statute of limitations for product liability and personal injury claims, typically two years from when you were injured or discovered the injury. There are exceptions for minors and certain recall-related actions. Early consultation helps preserve evidence and options.
While you can pursue a claim on your own, a lawyer can help gather evidence, assess liability, and navigate filing deadlines. A lawyer also negotiates with insurers and can take the case to trial if needed.
Bring any medical records, prescriptions, relevant recalls, product packaging, receipts, and notes about how the injury has affected daily life. If you have correspondence with manufacturers or healthcare providers, bring that as well.
Liability often rests on defect, failure to warn, or improper labeling. Proving causation—showing the defect caused your injury—and establishing damages are key steps in liability cases.
Yes. A recall does not automatically bar a claim. If the recall is connected to the injury and there is evidence of harm, you may pursue compensation.
Settlements resolve the case without a trial and can provide quicker, certain compensation. A trial decides the outcome in court and may yield higher or lower results depending on the evidence and jury.
Medical bills can be included in the compensation sought. Settlements or judgments may cover past and future medical expenses, but liens or insurance payments may require coordination.
Most settlements and court filings seek confidentiality terms, but some information may be disclosed. A lawyer can negotiate terms that protect your privacy where possible.
If you cannot afford an attorney, many firms, including ours, offer contingency fee arrangements where you pay nothing upfront and fees are paid from any recovery. A free initial consultation is often available.
