Gilbert Dangerous Drugs Lawyer

Just about everyone has heard a long list of side effects being read on TV or over the radio at the end of an advertisement for a prescription or over-the-counter medication, and those lists are there for a very good reason. Drug manufacturers who fail to properly warn doctors and consumers about all the possible effects their product could have when taken normally may hold civil liability for any injuries and losses caused by an undisclosed side effect — and unfortunately, many corporations in this industry act irresponsibly in just that way much more often than you might think.

Even if you have valid legal grounds to file suit over harm you sustained from a medication you thought was safe, enforcing your rights can be extremely difficult without having a skilled personal injury attorney on your side. Big pharmaceutical companies will fight lawsuits like this tooth and nail in order to protect their business interests, and a Gilbert dangerous drugs lawyer from Phillips Law Group can be a vital source of support for fighting back and protecting your own best interests.

How Do Dangerous Drugs Get on the Market?

Broadly speaking, “product liability” law in the United States does not expect pharmaceutical companies to be perfect about identifying every single possible effect a new drug could have, for fear of discouraging further research and development that could help sick people in the future. However, these companies do have a legal duty to perform reasonably diligent testing on all new products to make sure they are safe to be used as directed, and they also must warn consumers about any harmful side effects from the product that their research uncovers.

Unfortunately, oversight from federal authorities on companies who are supposed to comply with these rules is not as strong as it should be, and there are several “loopholes” in the normal Food and Drug Administration approval process for medications which can sometimes lead to dangerous products being put up on sale before they are fully tested.

Some manufacturers even put products on the market that they know are unsafe and intentionally hide dangerous side effects in order to make money — a scenario that seasoned Gilbert dangerous drugs attorneys have seen all too often.

Understanding “Mass Tort” Litigation

Another problem with drug company regulation as well as civil litigation against them over dangerous drug injuries is the immense amount of money these corporations have at their disposal. Even with a dedicated and experienced lawyer on their side, people who try to go up against companies of this size alone rarely get good results from their civil claims.

Fortunately, it is often possible in situations like this to join forces with other people injured by the same drug in the same way, increasing everyone’s collective chances of obtaining financial restitution for the harm they have sustained. A dangerous drugs lawyer in Gilbert can help join — or potentially start — a “mass tort” claim which involves multiple people pursuing their independent claims together, or a “class action” lawsuit which involves multiple people combining their independent claims into one central settlement demand.

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...

Took care of my case and told me there was a possibility of a higher settlement and I kinda forgot that they said that and was contacted by them more than a year later and was told there was another check at their office for me. Very down to earth people and will fight for you as hard as they can. Highly recommend their office to work with!

At the beginning of my lawsuit my kidney transplant of 30 years failed and the next four years became the hardest time of my life. There were days where we didn't know if I would make it. Phillips Law Group became my HOPE during this time in my life. In life I believe God will bring people across our path's that are super rare and a DIAMOND.

My experience with Phillips Law Group was outstanding. They have represented me in two different cases and Kurt Maahs and his team have helped me every step of the way, Tracy and Hannah were always prompt in answering my emails. Nasser helped get me the settlement I desired. If you ever need representation from a firm who shows they care Phillips Law Group is a firm who shows they genuinely have the interest of their client. Thanks for all y’all did for my family and me. If ever I need representation again. Y’all will be my first choice.

When visiting Arizona my husband and I were driving through an intersection when a car ran a red light and tboned us. I hit my head on the window and later found out I had a concussion and whip lash. I wasn’t sure how to navigate a car accident and called Phillips based on their good reviews. My attorney and his paralegal were with me every step of the way and ensured my healing process was the top priority. After many treatments and 14 months later I finally feel better, not 100% but in much better condition. Philips was able to get me compensated for my medical and for ongoing medical expenses, without them I never would have recouped medical...
