Dangerous Drugs

Recent discoveries in the fields of chemistry and biology have yielded many new pharmaceuticals targeted to very specific and complex illnesses and conditions.  However, doctors and chemists often believe that they know more about the body than they actually do, and they are often unaware of the side effects these drugs may have on other systems of the body. This ignorance is compounded by the eagerness of corporate executives who rush drugs to market either before adequate testing is complete, or despite the results of early testing that long-term side effects may exist. Once a pharmaceutical company has decided to market a drug, it uses its power and influence to persuade doctors and health care insurers to promote the new medication, leading to its rapid distribution through the population.

Defective drugs are the most dangerous class of Defective Products because they are engineered to make a deep impact on our bodily systems, so when they have side effects, these side effects can be fatal, resulting in wrongful death.  They are also one of the worst examples of corporate misconduct because they abuse the public trust and misuse their influence to force these dangerous products on us.  Sometimes drugs are pushed through with full knowledge of their possible side effects under the assumption that the company will be able to make its profit on the drug before side effects come to light, then fight all the lawsuits one by one and try to win as many as possible, as seems to have been the strategy in the case of Vioxx.

If you or a loved one has suffered as a result of using a defective prescription drug, you have a responsibility to pursue litigation to decrease the profitability of this dishonest corporate practice.  Here at Carr & Carr, we are dedicated to making sure that each and every individual hurt by this malicious form of profiteering gets his or her voice heard.  Contact us today at our Tulsa or Oklahoma City, Oklahoma offices or our Fort Smith or Northwest Arkansas offices for a free evaluation of your case.
