Prescott Dangerous Drugs Lawyer

Given how many different prescription and over-the-counter medications Americans see on store shelves or advertised on television, it may not come as much of a surprise to hear that not all of those medications are perfectly safe and effective. That does not mean, however, that you do not have a right as a consumer to expect the products you buy to be reasonably safe, or that you cannot take legal action against a drug manufacturer who sells you a dangerous product.

If you have suffered a serious adverse effect from a medication that you were not previously warned about by your doctor or the manufacturers of the medication, you should reach out to a Prescott dangerous drugs lawyer sooner rather than later to discuss your legal options. Lawsuits over defective medication can be uniquely challenging in numerous ways, and support from one of the experienced personal injury attorneys at Phillips Law Group is vital to getting a positive result from your claim.

Holding a Pharmaceutical Company Liable for Damages

Importantly, pharmaceutical companies are not automatically liable for any harm one of their products causes to a consumer, nor are they liable for injuries caused by a doctor prescribing the wrong type or dosage of medication to a patient. What pharmaceutical companies often are liable for injuries caused by their failure to properly warn consumers about all known side effects and contraindications associated with one of their medications, as well as injuries caused by contamination during the manufacturing process or by unreasonably dangerous errors made in a product’s formulation and design.

Any company or corporation that allows a consumer to be harmed by one of these “defects” may be “strictly liable” for any damages stemming from that consumer’s injuries, including medical bills, lost work income, physical pain, and psychological suffering. A Prescott dangerous drugs attorney can go into more specific detail during a private consultation about what losses a particular person should incorporate into their claim.

Understanding “Mass Torts” and “Class Action Lawsuits”

Even if someone has very strong grounds to file suit against a massive pharmaceutical company over a dangerous drug, they will likely have a very hard time overcoming opposition to their claim from that company’s legal team and insurance providers. Fortunately, it is often possible in situations like this to join forces with other people injured by the same product in the same way, sharing resources and evidence to increase everyone’s chances of obtaining fair financial recovery.

Depending on the circumstances, a claim like this may take the form of a “mass tort” in which the injured parties share information with each other but still maintain their own separate civil claims, or it may be pursued as a “class action” in which all “class members” combine their claims into one central lawsuit and equally split any money recovered. Both types of cases have their merits and drawbacks, and a seasoned defective drugs lawyer in Prescott can assist you with joining one in progress or potentially starting a new one.

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...

Philips Law Group offers outstanding customer service and a profound knowledge of personal injury law. Right from the initial call through to your office visit, they ensure you feel well-supported. A special mention goes to Ilse, the client experience coordinator. Her expertise in insurance policies is remarkable, and she articulately explains them in both Spanish and English. She skillfully navigates you through the process with empathy and understanding. A heartfelt thanks for the exceptional experience!

Latosha E.

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.

Rich S.

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...

To make matters worse, major pharmaceutical corporations often devote millions — sometimes billions — of dollars specifically to fighting civil litigation against them, which makes it extremely difficult to hold one accountable for the harm one of their products has caused.
