How Many Americans Take Prescription Drugs Every Day?

According to data from Georgetown University, up to 66% of American adults take pharmaceutical drugs on a daily basis. With this many people relying on medications to maintain their health and well being, defective drug cases are bound to happen.

What is a Drug Injury?

A drug injury occurs when someone sustains serious injury, illness, or death from a recalled or dangerous drug. A dangerous drug could be a prescription drug, an over-the-counter drug, or even an illegal drug.

When people suffer dangerous drug injuries, they could potentially sue drug makers and receive financial compensation through pharmaceutical litigation. If you or someone you love has suffered life-threatening health complications from dangerous or defective drugs, you need to reach out to San Antonio dangerous drug lawyers at Janicek Law.

Common Drug Injuries

People can suffer a wide range of serious injuries from defective and dangerous drugs. Generally, the health consequences greatly depend on the health condition that the drug is supposed to be treating in the first place. Examples of injuries we commonly see in dangerous drug cases are listed below.

Dangerously high or low blood pressure
Heart attack
Heart failure
Stroke
Seizures
Organ damage
Mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, panic, suicidal thoughts and desires, psychosis, delirium, etc.
Cancer
Deep vein thrombosis
Vision problems
Blood disorders
Pancreatitis
Excessive bleeding
Blood clots
And more

Drug Side Effects vs. Drug Injuries

Drug injuries and drug side effects are very similar in that they are both negative and potentially dangerous symptoms that occur when taking a drug. Common side effects of a prescription drug may be headaches, nausea, vomiting, depression, etc.

The main difference between drug side effects and injuries is that side effects are expected. In most cases, a drug company will warn consumers about side effects on the drug’s packaging. If drug companies fail to warn consumers about side effects, they could also face a slew of lawsuits.

Meanwhile, drug injuries are completely unexpected negative symptoms that occur after taking a recalled or prescribed drug. In other words, the pharmaceutical company likely didn’t know that their drug would cause such severe injuries or illness until they performed more studies or received reports from consumers.

Examples of Dangerous Drugs

In recent years, the dangerous drugs listed below have been the subjects of class action lawsuits because of their connections to major health consequences.

Zantac
Warfarin
Xarelto
Elmiron
Injectafer
Tasigna
Taxotere
Truvada
Xeljanz
Coumadin

If you or someone you love has taken one or more of these drugs and you’re now suffering from cancer, vision problems, pancreatitis, liver disease, and more, you may have grounds to file a class action lawsuit against the drug manufacturer.

How Many Drugs are Recalled Every Year?

An average of 4,500 dangerous drugs and defective medical devices are recalled by drug manufacturers or the FDA every single year in the United States.

Can I Sue if I Suffer a Drug Injury?

Yes, you can certainly sue if an over the counter or prescription drug causes a major personal injury. That’s because drug companies must thoroughly study and test their drugs before allowing them to hit the market. Many drugs also undergo the FDA approval process before hitting the market. You would think with all this studying, testing, and government approval that all drugs and medical devices on U.S. shelves would be perfectly safe for use and consumption. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Dangerous drug cases still happen.

Possible Liable Parties in a Defective Drug Lawsuit

If you’re looking to file a defective drug claim, you may be wondering: who can be held liable for drug injuries? Depending on the facts of your dangerous drug case, you could possibly sue the following parties:

Your doctor
Your hospital or medical clinic
The drug manufacturer
The drug distributor
Your pharmacy
The drug’s testing laboratory

The only party you can’t sue is the FDA, because it holds sovereign immunity as a government entity.

It can be tough to figure out who to sue on your own. That’s why you need an experienced San Antonio drug injury lawyer from Janicek Law on your side. During your free case evaluation, we will carefully listen to your story and analyze your evidence to determine who is liable for the dangerous drug in question. If drug manufacturers, distributors, pharmacists, or even doctors are responsible for causing you harm, we can help you pursue compensation.

How to Prove That a Drug is Defective

Dangerous drug cases are handled similarly to general product liability cases because they both fall under product liability law. In both types of cases, you must prove how the product is defective. Defective drugs and products must have at least one of the three types of defects listed below.

Manufacturing Defects are unintended defects that occur during the drug manufacturing process. A manufacturing defect will produce a drug that’s different from its intended design or formula. As a result, the drug may be dangerous or just ineffective.
Design Defects: This type of defect means that the product’s design is what makes it dangerous, not its manufacturing. So even if the consumer used the product as directed, they would still suffer an injury because the product’s design is inherently dangerous. In many product liability cases, dangerous side effects from design defects are foreseeable by the company.
Inadequate Warning: This type of product defect means that the company failed to warn its consumers about the dangerous risks and side effects of using their product. In the case of dangerous drugs, maybe thousands of consumers suffered life-threatening side effects just because pharmaceutical companies failed to prove warnings on the box or within the drug instruction manual. The injured patients could certainly sue for inadequate warning in this scenario.

If you’re unsure which kind of defect led to your drug injury, you should contact San Antonio dangerous drug attorneys. We can help you figure out exactly which kind of defect caused your pain and suffering and help you gather enough evidence to prove it. That way, you can receive the financial compensation that you deserve.

Damages for Drug Injuries

San Antonio dangerous drug lawyers at Janicek Law can help you recover both economic and non economic damages from your dangerous drugs lawsuit.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are the quantifiable losses you suffered as a result of your drug injury. Examples include:

Past and future medical bills
Past and future rehabilitative bills
Lost wages
Loss of earning capacity
Counseling expenses
Funeral and burial expenses if the drug injury results in wrongful death

Non Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are losses that don’t have monetary value. Examples include:

Physical pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of consortium

How Much Financial Compensation Can I Receive From My Defective Drug Claim?

Generally, the amount of financial compensation that comes from drug injury claims heavily depends on how many damages the victim suffered. For example, someone who suffers a fairly minor personal injury from a recalled drug probably won’t receive as much money as someone who died as a result of a recalled drug.

This is another reason why it’s so important to hire a San Antonio drug injury lawyer from Janicek Law. You truly won’t know how much financial compensation you can recover until experienced attorneys analyze the details of your case and calculate the amount of damages you suffered. Allow us to handle this for you.

Karen Rangel recommended us to Cassidy Muniz, and we are so thankful she did. Cassidy assisted myself, my husband, and our two daughters, and all four of us are extremely happy with the experience and outcome.

Cassidy truly went above and beyond for our entire family. She was always responsive, patient, professional, and helpful, and she kept us informed throughout the entire process. Everything went smoothly, we had no issues, and she made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier for us.

The entire team at Janicek Law is amazing, and we felt like we were in great hands from start to finish. We are incredibly grateful to Karen for recommending Cassidy and especially grateful to Cassidy for everything she did for our family.

We would 100% recommend Cassidy and Janicek Law to anyone looking for a team that truly cares about their clients. Thank you all so much for everything! ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were referred to Janicek Law firm from a lawyer in Brownsville, who pointed out that they are experts in the field of medical malpractice and I am so grateful. We worked with Andrew and Gaby and they were dedicated and worked hard to get us the best possible outcome. They kept us informed and updated through every step of the process, always with a friendly and very professional disposition. Despite language and distance challenges, they accommodated all of our needs, and I would highly recommend Janicek Law Firm. They made a bad situation better by listening to our concerns, helping us through a sorrowful time for my family, and advising on how to defeat our opponent. For any families that have a beloved and elderly relative who suffered in the hands of callous and neglectful medical institutions, Janicek Law Firm were amazing in advocating for our relative and making these corporate entities accountable. Thank you, Andrew and Gaby, we really appreciated your help!

When it came down to mediation Mr Bernal knew exactly what to do and say to make things clear with the insurance company who wanted to take advantage of me. I highly recommend Mr Bernal if you ever are in an accident. He will definitely take care of you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have started this review so many times, but every time I do, I realize there simply aren't enough words to thank the people at Janicek Law.
Almost 3 years ago, my world ended. I lost my son, Zayden—the greatest love of my life. My other son, Zy, witnessed the unimaginable that day. He carries those memories with him every single day, and we are forever grateful that he is still here because we very easily could have lost him too. Our family didn't just experience a tragedy—we experienced trauma that changed us forever.
When I first met the team at Janicek Law, I wasn't just grieving. I was broken. I was a mother trying to survive the unthinkable while helping my surviving son heal from something no child should ever witness. I didn't know if I had the strength to keep fighting.
There were so many moments when I wanted to give up. Every deposition, every conversation, every piece of evidence forced me to relive the worst day of my life. I told them I couldn't do it anymore. But they never let me forget why we were fighting. They reminded me that Zayden deserved justice. They reminded me that Zy deserved justice. They believed in my family even when I couldn't believe in myself.
What makes Janicek Law different is that this was never just a job to them. They never made me feel like another client or another case number. They knew my children by name. They celebrated Zayden's life. They cried with us, prayed with us, hugged us, encouraged us, and walked beside us through every heartbreaking step. They carried a piece of this burden with us, and I will never forget that.
Even after the case was over, they didn't disappear. They still answer my calls. They still help me with paperwork. They still check on me. They still make me feel like my family matters. That's something you cannot fake. That's love. Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing them as "my attorneys" and started seeing them as family. And I truly believe I have a family for life.
No amount of money will ever bring my little boy back. I would trade every penny to hear his laugh one more time. But because of Janicek Law, I have peace knowing that his life mattered, his story was heard, and that they fought for my boys with everything they had.
From the deepest part of a mother's heart... thank you. Thank you for loving my children. Thank you for never giving up on us when I wanted to give up myself. Thank you for standing beside us through the darkest chapter of our lives. You gave my family more than legal representation—you gave us hope, dignity, and people we will love for the rest of our lives. You helped a grieving mother find the strength to be the voice her son no longer had. In a world that can feel so unfair, you reminded me that there are still genuinely good people. We love each and every one of you, and we will never forget what you did for Zayden, for Zy, and for us.❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my accident, I felt overwhelmed and had no idea what to do next. Choosing Janicek Law Firm was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the very beginning, Philip Bernal,  Cassidy Muniz, and Karen Rangel took the time to explain the process, answer my questions, and make sure I always knew what to expect.

Cassidy and Karen were  absolutely incredible throughout my entire case. They coordinated my medical care, helped with scheduling appointments, communicated with my insurance, and was always available whenever I needed guidance or reassurance. Their compassion and dedication truly made a difficult time so much easier.

The entire team worked hard to build my case, keeping me informed every step of the way, and ultimately secured a settlement I was very happy with. More importantly, they gave me the peace of mind to focus on healing instead of worrying about the legal process.

I can’t thank Philip, Cassidy, Karen and everyone at Janicek Law Firm enough for their professionalism, kindness, and commitment. If you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about its clients, I highly recommend them. THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!
