Defective Products and Defective Drugs Lawyers
Mobile, Alabama
When we buy a product from a store or are prescribed a drug by a doctor, we assume that the product or drug is reasonably safe for use if we use it for its intended purpose and follow any instructions with reasonable closeness. However, this is sometimes not the case, as dangerous products and drugs are often marketed and lead to serious injury or even death for thousands of Americans every year. Often the products have been inadequately tested, carelessly marketed, or knowingly released in spite of dangers, all balancing the likelihood of injury to you against the profits of the marketer.
Long & Waite, Attorneys at Law, P.C. is dedicated to protecting the rights of those injured by defective products and drugs. If you would like to learn more about how we can help you, please schedule a free consultation with our Mobile, Alabama product liability lawyers.
Defective Products
Defective products can be essentially anything from a child's toy to a smoke detector to an automobile. Defective products, however, are all dangerous when used for their intended purpose with reasonable knowledge of the instructions for use. These products can be defective in design, defective in manufacture, or defective in instructions or warnings, see also our product liability page for more details.
Defective Drugs
Defective drugs are drugs that either do not function as promised or carry dangerous side effects that are either known to the manufacturer or should have been known to the manufacturer. Although many people assume that approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ensures that drugs are safe, FDA approval is considered only a minimum standard of proof to allow a manufacturer to market a drug. Companies that market drugs are charged with vigilance to look for dangers associated with the use of a drug and report them as soon as known. They are also given the ability, and therefore the responsibility, to immediately publish more restrictive warnings than required by the FDA if such warnings seem warranted.
