Peoria Dangerous Drugs Lawyer

Pharmaceutical products have the potential to heal and treat a variety of health concerns. However, when people improperly label, dispense, make, or advertise these items, unsuspecting consumers may get hurt. When you experience an adverse event because of a medication problem outside of your control, filing a claim may be possible. Holding the at-fault pharmacist, seller, manufacturer, or doctor responsible for their mistakes could help you move forward and potentially protect others.

At the Phillips Law Group, our firm serves as a trusted advocate for many people injured by contaminated or hazardous medications. A Peoria dangerous drugs lawyer could help you forge a pathway to secure a settlement for your losses. Our experienced personal injury attorneys could explain the applicable laws and outline your possible legal options.

What Can Make a Medication Hazardous for Use?

Prescription and over-the-counter medications and other treatments can be unsafe for a variety of reasons. For example, the pharmacy that dispenses the medicine may not store it correctly, causing it to go bad before the consumer gets it. Likewise, giving a patient the wrong pills or the incorrect dosage may also pose a serious risk of injury.

Additionally, when pharmaceutical companies cut corners when sourcing or compounding the ingredients or drugs, this can lead to contamination or errors. Because of this, a patient who believes they are getting a particular strength of a medication may get far more or less than what the bottle says. Moreover, not giving consumers accurate instructions on using the medicine or what side effects they can expect is also problematic.

Injuries from defective drugs, such as pain relievers, mood stabilizers, heart meds, or other substances, can be quite significant or, in some cases, fatal. Peoria attorneys could help determine if bringing a defective medication lawsuit is possible and provide key guidance and compassion to those who are hurt physically, financially, or psychologically because of a prescription error.

What Is the Deadline To File a Lawsuit Because of a Harmful Drug?

Those injured because of a defective prescription or over-the-counter medication may qualify to seek legal damages to address the harm they experience. For example, they may be eligible to receive money to go towards the medical bills they accrued to reverse a severe reaction to the drug. However, they need to file their product liability claim before the applicable statute of limitations closes.

The timeframe someone has to take this action depends on what they claim the other person (e.g., pharmacist or manufacturer) did wrong. Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-542 gives many injured persons two years to bring a lawsuit because someone else’s mistake harmed them. However, Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 12-551 limits when someone can file some types of defective product claims, using the product’s manufacturing date as the starting point in some situations.

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!

My name is Josh Porter. If you want to work with people that will move mountains for you in your case then hire Phillips Law Group. 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. At the beginning of my case I met my paralegal named Hannah Rios. Hannah is an amazing, caring, merciful, graceful, warrior, grab the bull by its horn...

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.

Just would like to share my experience with Phillips And Associates. Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...
