How could I succeed in suing the manufacturer of a drug like VIOXX®?
While all medications have certain, anticipated side effects, a drug manufacturer has a duty to make its pharmaceutical products as reasonably safe as possible, and to inform the medical community and the public of known risks associated with its drugs. If a manufacturer fails to do so, it can be held responsible to patients who are injured as the result of inadequate warnings or the unreasonably dangerous nature of the drug, under a legal theory known as products liability. An experienced products liability attorney can assist you in determining whether you have a viable claim, and advise you how to protect your right to sue for damages caused by the use of VIOXX®. The smart, aggressive, local attorneys at Ziff, Weiermiller, Hayden & Mustico have more than 50 years experience handling products liability cases for the injured and are now accepting VIOXX® cases.
