How is Your Pain and Suffering Calculated?
Pain and suffering does not come with a pre-determined financial value. Instead, it is determined on a case-by-case basis. We will calculate your pain and suffering based on:
- Your health condition
- Your recovery period
- The types of treatments you require
- The cost of your financial losses
- Your relationships with your spouse, family members, and friends
- Whether you lost a loved one
What Makes a Drug “Dangerous?”
Per the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, here are the top five reasons why some drugs are recalled:
- They were contaminated with a substance that made them unsafe for consumption.
- They were mislabeled, meaning that consumers could be given incorrect information regarding dosages and side effects.
- They caused adverse effects that previously went unaccounted for.
- They were inherently dangerous either by production means or composition.
- They were packaged with “incorrect potencies.”
Sometimes, the FDA won’t issue a recall even after learning that a drug could be dangerous. If you or a loved one took a medication that has not been recalled, don’t worry; you could still have the basis of a valid claim.
