When the FDA approves a medication, one might assume that the drug is safe, and that if there are serious side effects associated with the drug, they will be advised such. When a physician or other medical professional prescribes a specific medication, the individual who uses the drug does not ordinarily believe they are at risk of serious injury. There are, however, many medications on the market that were only found to have unreported, serious side effects at a much later date.
When injury, illness or death results from the use of a prescribed medication or a supplement, it is critical that you get legal help from a product liability attorney familiar with mass tort suits and addressing complex product liability cases. At Andrus, Hood & Wagstaff, our legal team has extensive experience in the product liability arena, and a Denver personal injury lawyer from our firm can provide outstanding legal representation in any of the following types of product liability cases:

The FDA is in charge of approving of the drugs and supplements that are sold in this country, but many of these drugs are later recalled because of severe side effects.

Product Liability Cases: Experienced Legal Team
In some cases, the product liability claim is related to other situations such as toxic spills, consumer products, product recalls or other situations in which a consumer has suffered damage through the use of a commercial product, or through the negligent actions (or inactions) of a corporation. Such cases often are heavily contested by corporate attorneys that are on the payroll of the company in question; it serves clients to have an equally powerful legal team on their side addressing their lawsuit in court.
We have a history of successfully recovering compensatory damages in settlements, verdicts and judgments for our clients who have been the victim of faulty or defective products or corporate negligence. We pride ourselves on the skill of our talented litigators who can bring the case to the jury. A carefully constructed and documented litigation strategy is vital in any case in which a large corporation is facing the possibility of having to pay out a high-value settlement. We invite you to contact our legal team to discuss your case and to advise you of the sequence of actions that will take place in your product liability case.
Why do I need an attorney?
Motorcycles can be easily hit by a negligent car driver or other vehicle on the road merely because they are harder to see. Research indicates that among the most common scenarios for a motorcycle crash is collision in heavy traffic with a larger vehicle whose driver did not observe the motorcyclist sharing the road. If you or someone close to you has been a crash victim on a motorcycle, it is in your best interests to retain a Denver personal injury attorney. Failing to retain an attorney after a traumatic accident may result in difficulties in collecting compensation for damages.
