Injuries From Recalled Medication and Dangerous Drugs

  • Have you taken medication that caused serious side effects?
  • Have you been incorrectly prescribed the wrong medication?
  • Have you taken medication that has been part of a drug recall?
  • Were you given medication without being made aware of potential dangers?

If you have been exposed to dangerous medication, either as a result of medical malpractice or product liability, you may be entitled to recover compensation. At the Law Offices of John S. Hoyt in Morristown, we have more than 25 years of personal injury, product liability and medical malpractice experience.

Our office has been recognized by peers as among the top personal injury offices in New Jersey, and we have built a proven track record of successful litigation with a substantial record of verdicts and settlement. Led by our board certified trial attorney, we can put experience and an emphasis on client satisfaction to work for you.

Drug Recalls and Side Effects

Any prescription medication carries with it some degree of risk, and even the most common of medications such as Tylenol can cause serious injury if incorrectly used. But, as patients, we also rely on pharmaceutical companies and physicians to correctly prescribe medication and inform us of the potential risks.

When these safeguards of prescription medication fail to meet their legal obligations resulting in serious injury or a fatality, the law allows you to seek compensation. We have seen, along with the boom in new and expensive medications, cases such as those involving drug recalls, including Celebrex, Phen Fen and Vioxx, where unstudied side effects caused harm and even death.

Along with the negligence of pharmaceutical makers, the medical malpractice of doctors can be equally dangerous, with unanticipated side effects suffered as a result of drug interactions and incorrect doses.
