How Your Dangerous Drug Lawyer in Dallas Can Seek Damages
We can handle your case from beginning to end, whether you are filing an insurance claim or a lawsuit against a liable party. Our team can help you by:
Investigating Your Case
We may find that your dangerous drug case was a result of the following:
- A negligent healthcare provider who improperly prescribed or administered medication.
- A healthcare provider who did not explain a drug’s possible risks or side effects.
- A drug manufacturer that produced an inherently dangerous or otherwise defective drug.
- A wholesaler that did not properly store a certain type of medication.
- An advertising agency that incorrectly marketed a medication.
Depending on your situation, multiple parties could be liable for your losses.
Proving Negligence or Strict Liability
We need to prove various factors of your case to recover damages. However, these factors depend on how you or a loved one was hurt. For example, we must prove that the drug or healthcare provider in question injured you or a family member. Either way, our firm can prove your case’s required elements.
Consulting With Field Experts
While our team has over 30 years of legal experience, we are not healthcare professionals. To prove your case’s requirements, we may get testimony from the following:
- Doctors
- Chemists
- Pharmacists
- Representatives from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
- Drug counselors
- Mental health professionals
Filing a Claim
Once we determine the liable party in your case, we will file your claim. We can manage your claim’s progress, including its paperwork, filing, and negotiations.
Filing Your Lawsuit
When an insurance company fails to offer fair compensation during the negotiation process, we are ready to take them to trial.
Most insurance companies and opposing lawyers want to avoid going to court, so once they see that we have filed suit, they may return to the negotiation table. Regardless, we are ready to represent you in a trial to seek a court-awarded offer.

We Help People Who Develop Addictions to Dangerous Drugs
When a doctor prescribes a medication, they must warn patients of all possible risks––including the possibility of addiction. If they fail to warn a patient of this risk, they could bear liability for any resulting damages.
According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Schedule II drugs are among the types of prescription drugs that have a high potential for severe psychological or physical dependency. Examples of Schedule II drugs include:
- Vicodin
- OxyContin
- Demerol
- Adderall
- Ritalin
Addiction is devastating for your career and relationships. It can also affect your finances, along with your physical and emotional health. While it is imperative that you seek treatment for your addiction, pursuing legal action is also important for holding the negligent parties accountable.
If you or a loved one was prescribed one of these drugs and developed an addiction, a dangerous drug lawyer with our firm can help you with a personal injury claim or lawsuit.
New Analysis Suggests Paxil Is Unsafe for Teenagers
The BMJ recently published a new analysis that has revealed that paroxetine, which is found in Paxil, may be unsafe and ineffective in teenagers. Some of the negative effects of this drug include suicidal ideation and cardiovascular problems.
If your child was hurt or passed away after they took Paxil, you may qualify to bring a wrongful death claim or lawsuit. Our firm can help.
Seek Medical Attention for Your Injuries
After suffering injuries from a dangerous drug, it is important to seek medical attention. If you do not, an insurer may claim you worsened your injuries in an attempt to undervalue or deny your claim. Documentation from your doctor’s appointments can help link your injuries to the dangerous drug. This can help you establish your losses when you seek compensation.
Make sure you follow through with any treatment plan your doctor prescribes. Keep any medical records and receipts, as well.
