Houston Defective Drug Lawyers
In most instances, a defective drug is a pharmaceutical product that generally has risks associated with its use that far outweigh any potential health benefits that it offers to consumers.
While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does regulate the industry, many drugs are released into the open market that have not been tested for a long enough period of time to discover any potential long term effects of using the product.
If you or someone you love suffered a serious personal injury due to the use of a defective drug, that individual may have grounds to file a lawsuit for compensation, which can include provision for medical expenses, lost wages, lost opportunity, pain and suffering and other conditions that are related to the injury.

Unfortunately, due to the enormous profits that can be made in this industry, many drug manufacturers have been known to cover up research results and other known issues with their products in order to get them approved for sale.
In most instances, part of these profits are used to employ teams of attorneys that arew paid to fight and defend these products, which they do by trying to intimidate innocent people that have fallen ill due to using a given product.
The legal professionals of the Arguello Law Firm understand the tricks and tactics that these lawyers often use, and are not afraid to fight against these law firms to stand up for the rights of our clients.
Common Reactions to Dangerous Pharmaceuticals
There can be many different reactions that individuals have to a dangerous or defective product, although there are some more common symptoms that many people succumb to.
