What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Do You Have a Case?

If you are wondering if your situation is a valid case, then consider the following:

  • Did you experience harm from a prescription that was not expected and was quite severe?
  • Did you contact your doctor about your worries and concerns over complications with your medicine but they did not respond to you promptly or at all? 
  • Has your condition or injury not improved or gotten worse after taking your prescribed medication?
  • Are you suffering from symptoms that you were not informed could happen?

Any of these scenarios and more could mean that you were injured by a drug, whether it was defective or incorrectly administered. If something is amiss in your treatment, negligence or mistakes may have transpired. The Texas defective drug injury attorneys at Braker White can help you.

According to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), adverse events can result when taking a medication. The following are the most common injuries that a person suffering from a drug injury can experience:

  • Death
  • Suffering a life-threatening condition
  • Having to be hospitalized or staying in the hospital’s care for a prolonged period of time
  • Temporary or permanent disability
  • Harm to an unborn child or issues with fertility

Not every side effect suffered from a drug injury means that there was negligence. Although, when it can be determined that adverse effects of drugs came about because the drug was either misprescribed or defective, several parties could be blamed. A victim’s specific circumstances will be used to determine who is responsible for paying for their damages.

Liable parties for drug injuries can include:

  • Drug manufacturers who make mistakes during the manufacturing of the drug, do not indicate warnings for specific side effects, or market drugs in a way that makes them available for conditions where they are harmful
  • Laboratories testing drugs
  • Distributors mishandling drugs
  • Sales representatives
  • Hospitals and medical clinics
  • Doctors
  • Pharmacies and pharmacists

Prescription Drugs Should Keep You Safe, Not Cause Injuries of Their Own

If a pharmaceutical has harmed you or led to ongoing illnesses, you deserve repayment for the suffering and financial loss it has caused. Braker White will be by your side to help you recover what you need and secure compensation for costs you’re expected to pay in the future.

You can file a claim if you are injured by a defective drug in Texas. In your claim, you can account for all of the losses or damages you suffered. Some of these may include the following:

  • Medical expenses, both current and future
