Being injured or suffering from the adverse effects/reactions from dangerous drugs in Canada is more common than we imagine. Thousands of people are badly affected in spite of the country’s rigorous screening and testing regulations. However, carelessness or deliberately flouting safety norms and processes can result in serious consequences for consumers. If you or a dear one has been injured by a dangerous drug caused by someone’s fault or negligence, contact a personal injury lawyer immediately to explore your legal options that would allow you to get your due compensation.

Responsibility of Drug Companies

Drugs are meant to heal, cure or protect people and modern-day drugs cover almost every known human ailment. They have enabled human beings to improve life-quality and extend the life-span. However, drug companies are usually for-profit corporations whose primary goal is profitability. There are several excellent and strict regulations that have to be followed in drug manufacture, retail, prescription and consumption. All drug manufacturers in this country are required to run certain specified tests and trials before submitting their products to the Food and Drug Administration authorities. They’re required to specify all the potential side-effects, warnings etc. so that consumers are kept informed. However, due to negligence or deliberate oversight, with a view to increase profitability and the market-share, drug companies may cut corners and fail in their duty. If you have suffered injury due to a defective or dangerous drug, find a personal injury lawyer with experience in this area of civil law to represent you.

Why Some Drugs Cause Harm

As our experienced personal injury lawyers are aware, drug defects fall under different categories:

• Manufacturing error
• Inadequate labeling or literature provided to consumers on use, side-effects and dosage
• Design flaws
• Inadequate testing
• Deliberate fudging of clinical trial results to get FDA approval
• Medical malpractice
• Failure to monitor adverse reactions
• Failure to warn about correct usage and storage

Sometimes the drug administration authorities may recall a drug and consumers are entitled to file personal injury claims if they have consumed the dangerous or defective drug. A free consultation injury lawyer can advise you on the next step forward to achieve the compensation due to you.
