Forms of Compensation You Can Ceek
In a dangerous drug case, we will fight to seek every available dollar on your behalf. We will work to learn how your health conditions have affected all aspects of your life, including both economic and non-economic losses.
Non-economic losses could include:
- Pain and suffering: Reflecting the extent of your physical pain and hardships
- Reduced quality of life: If you are no longer able to enjoy the same life experiences as you did before your injury
Economic losses could include:
- Medical bills: Involving bills from any hospitalizations, emergency room visits, surgeries, visits to a doctor, rehabilitative therapy, and more
- Lost wages: Reflecting the income you weren’t able to earn due to your injury
- Reduced earning capacity: A lost ability to earn income moving forward as a result of your injury
How Much You are Eligible to Seek
Many clients want to understand how much they could seek. Typically, if your injuries severely affected your work and life and led to especially high medical bills, you may be able to seek a higher settlement. This is true for cases where you’re facing ongoing health consequences and impacts your ability to earn a living.
However, we could still seek compensation for those whose injuries were not quite as catastrophic. We recommend speaking to someone from our team to understand how much you could seek.

How Your Lawyer Can Help You with Your Case
To build a case on your behalf, we will work to show that your use of a medication directly resulted in health complications, serious side effects, or addiction.

What are Some Types of Dangerous Drugs?
There are many possible forms of medications or medical devices that could have caused you harm. They may include:
FDA-Recalled Drugs
Some drugs that were originally approved for medical use have since been recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One recalled drug that has been the subject of numerous lawsuits is the heartburn medication known as Zantac.
The FDA discovered high levels of the carcinogen known as NDMA in Zantac, leaving the FDA to conclude that the drug was unsafe for use. If you took Zantac or any other FDA-recalled drug and developed serious health complications such as cancer, we may be able to help you with a case.
Addictive Drugs
According to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), there are several forms of drugs on the market that have a high potential to cause physical or psychological dependence.
These are known as Schedule II drugs and include:
- Vicodin
- Methadone
- Dilaudid
- Demerol
- OxyContin
- Fentanyl
- Dexedrine
- Adderall
- Ritalin
If your life and health have been harmed by these or other Schedule II drugs, we can investigate your losses and pursue a claim or lawsuit.
