Dangerous Drugs And Pharmaceuticals
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires pharmaceutical companies to conduct human trials to test the safety and efficacy of prescription drugs. Unfortunately, drug companies sometimes bring drugs to the market before all side effects are known — and fail to report those side effects once they become known. In some cases, doctors prescribing the drug are not aware of dangerous and potentially life-threatening drug reactions.
When prescription drugmakers sell medications that are unreasonably dangerous or without adequate safety warnings, the civil trial lawyers of Ginsberg & O'Connor, P.C., are here to help. From our office in Mount Laurel, we represent people throughout New Jersey who were harmed by prescription drugs. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
