Product Liability in Arizona

Dangerous drug lawsuits are a type of product liability claim. The companies that manufacture drugs for public use are legally obligated to ensure the medications are reasonably safe for consumers. This means that drugs must be adequately designed, manufactured, and tested before going on the market.

There are three types of product defects: manufacturing, design, and marketing.

• Manufacturing Defect: When an error occurs during the drug manufacturing process. To recover compensation, the consumer must prove the product would have been safe if it was made correctly, but due to a mistake in the manufacturing process, it was not, and they sustained injuries because of it.
• Design Defect: A design defect means the drug is inherently dangerous based on the way it was designed. Drug companies and manufacturers are responsible if there is a safer design they could have reasonably utilized to avoid consumer harm.
• Marketing Defects: Drug companies have an obligation to warn consumers about known dangers and side effects of taking medications. Because of this, drugs come with a list of possible side effects. Nevertheless, drug companies and manufacturers are liable for marketing defects if they fail to warn a consumer about a known risk of the drug.

Liability in a Dangerous Drug Lawsuit

Under Arizona’s product liability laws, pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers are held strictly liable for a consumer’s harm when a drug injures them. Whether the entity acted negligently is irrelevant to the underlying claim.

In some dangerous drug cases, multiple parties are legally responsible for a consumer’s injuries. For example, the drug manufacturer could be responsible for manufacturing or marketing defects. At the same time, the doctor who prescribed the drug could also be liable if they fail to inform their patient about known side effects or other risks. Likewise, a pharmacist can be liable for filling out the wrong medication or giving an improper dose. Determining liability in a dangerous drug case can be complex; it is imperative you discuss the claim with an experienced Avondale dangerous drugs attorney who can help investigate who is liable for your injuries.

My husband and I have been clients of Phillips Law Group since 1999. Over that time, we have probably used their services 15 to 20 times for various reasons and have referred at least 100 people to them. What’s really great about Phillips & Associates is that, in addition to providing excellent service, if they don't believe they are absolutely the best firm for your case, they won’t take it. Instead, they refer you to another firm that can better handle your needs. This approach is unlike many other firms that might take a shot at handling your case, often learning on the job at the client's expense. Knowing that they would rather decline a case than risk giving the...
