I've been taking a drug that was not prescribed by a physician. Do I still have a possible legal claim for injuries suffered?
In a case where a physician did not prescribed the drug which caused injury, but instead you purchased it on your own, you may still have a claim against the drug manufacturer. Contact an experienced prescription negligence attorney at The Law Office of Paul Hogan to discuss your possible claim.

Why are prescription drug recalls so frequently discussed in the media? 
Prescription drugs are often rushed to market without adequate testing. The long-term effects of prescription medications are difficult to determine and tests that are thought to be performed by the FDA are sometimes done by laboratories and are funded by the drug manufacturer.

My prescription was incorrectly filled and I became very ill. Do I have a prescription negligence case?
It is possible that you have a case. Lawsuits can be based on improperly filled prescriptions. In most cases, either a medication is prescribed that contradicts a medication that the patient is already taking, or a pharmacist gives an incorrect medication or dosage. In a situation such as this, pharmacists and/or doctors would be held liable. If a person dies due to a medication, a wrongful death case may be filed. If a medication causes serious illnesses or side effects during its manufacturing, the drug manufacturer is held accountable.
