Pharmaceutical Cases
Beck Law Center brings pharmaceutical cases against companies that manufacture drugs, like Merck, GSK, Sanofi, and whole host of other companies. We argue that the drug company did not provide appropriate warnings to your or your doctor. If only the drug company would have given a proper warning, you never would have agreed to take the drug because the risks are too great.
What Do I Have to Do to Bring a Pharmaceutical Case?
Among other things:
(1) You absolutely need to stop taking the bad drugs before you sue. With very, very few exceptions, we cannot argue that you could not stop taking it because you are addicted to the drug.
(2) You need to have medical records showing that you were diagnosed with your claimed injury. This is true even if you do not trust doctors and you do not have insurance. You can likely get a diagnosis after your case is filed, but you do not have long.
(3) Call a lawyer as soon as you figure out that your injury was caused by the drug. This is because your statute of limitations starts running when you "knew or should have known" that the bad drugs caused your injury. The statute of limitations for suing a drug company ranges from one to six years. Most states have a two-year statute of limitations.
(4) Be ready for the long haul because pharmaceutical cases usually take a long time to resolve. On average, they take around three to five years from the time your case is filed. We might ask you to fill out really long questionnaires, and we might even ask you to appear for a deposition.
Conclusion about Bad Drugs
Most pharmaceutical cases take a long-time to resolve, so you need to be ready to stay the course. However, the statute of limitations starts to run as soon as you knew of a possible connection between the drug and your injury, so you need to contact a lawyer as soon as you think there could be a connection. In order to be successful, you will need to stop taking the bad drugs as soon as you think there could be a connection and you will need medical records showing that you were diagnosed with the claimed injury.
