Who you can sue for a defective drug injury will depend on who is legally responsible for the cause of the injury. However, it will generally be between the drug manufacturer and the drug distributor. The former is responsible when they do not take proper care during the design, manufacturing or marketing process of their drug. The latter can be held liable if the drug became defective during the distribution process.

Do you qualify for a defective drug injury case in New York?

You must determine who the liable party or parties are in your case in order to file your own personal injury claim. Because large corporations often cut corners when it comes to safety testing to save themselves money, that liable party may be the company that manufactured the drug. In addition, they do not always act fast enough to recall a drug once they have detected a defect.

By prescribing or supplying you with incorrect medication, a negligent doctor or pharmacist may be at fault for a drug injury. In that case, you may also be able to sue him or her for medical malpractice.

You should strongly consider reaching out to a skilled New York City personal injury attorney today if you are thinking about recovering compensation for a defective drug injury.
