South Carolina Lawyers for Prescription Drug Liability Cases
New drugs are continually being released. Seemingly every day, a new development is made and a new pharmaceutical is marketed to the public. As consumers we trust that these drugs are safe and that the drug companies are telling us the truth about the characteristics of their drugs. Unfortunately, that is not always the case - prescription drugs can sometimes irreparably change the lives of people they were meant to help. When drug companies do not adequately test their drugs or do not disclose all of the dangerous side effects to patients and prescribing physicians, the consequences can be tragic.
At the Columbia law offices of Proffitt & Cox, we represent people throughout the Carolinas in prescription drug liability cases. We have experience in these complex and challenging cases. We have previously handled numerous prescription drug cases for drugs such as Fen-Phen and Vioxx. We are currently interested in representing clients who have been harmed while taking the birth control medication Yasmin/Yaz or the smoke cessation drug Chantix.
An Important and Recent Supreme Court Case
In a 2009 case called Wyeth v. Levine, the United States Supreme Court ruled that drug manufacturers are not protected from liability by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a drug. Courts can hold pharmaceutical companies responsible when the companies are at fault for the improper formulation, testing, manufacturing, or marketing of their prescription drugs.
Handling pharmaceutical cases is challenging because of the complex scientific and medical issues involved and importance of the government regulatory process with respect to prescription drug cases. At the Columbia law offices of Proffitt & Cox, our pharmaceutical litigation attorneys represent people throughout the Carolinas in prescription drug liability cases.
