Defective Drugs
Far too often, a pharmaceutical drug is rushed into production and receives FDA approval without complete or proper testing. In past cases, consumers have suffered serious personal injury from the very drugs that were designed to aid in their recovery. Countless families across the country have suffered from the wrongful death of a loved one, enduring not only financial hardship but also emotional trauma. Many notable product liability cases in the United States have involved the widespread distribution of dangerous drugs or a defective medical device. The attorneys who have brought these cases to the public’s attention have set precedents for future cases and helped establish safer standards for product distribution.
We have handled numerous cases involving dangerous drugs. Our attorneys accept clients from Austin, San Antonio, and throughout Texas , as well as plaintiffs from across the country. We have successfully represented consumers who have been suffered serious injury as a result of using such drugs as:
- VIOXX®
- Rezulin
- Baycol
- Phenylpropanolamine (PPA)
- Fen-phen
- Prozac®
Our firm believes in working closely with our clients to establish strong and well researched dangerous drugs claims. While other attorneys attempt to pursue class action suits, we prefer to represent individuals in these types of cases.
Defective Medical Device Cases
In a defective product claim involving a defective medical device, the manufacturer, distributor, and retailer may all be held liable if the device in question has proven to be harmful to consumers over time. Unfortunately, defective medical device claims arise fairly frequently, causing patients who are already coping with illness to bear an even greater amount of suffering.
One of the most notable defective medical devices to draw national attention has been the Sulzer hip implant. Recalled by its manufacturer, Sulzer Orthopedics, on December 8, 2000, the Sulzer hip implant was shown to contain an oily residue in the socket area that could cause a negative reaction in the body and prevent the implant from fusing with the patient’s bone. As a result, the implant could become loose and cause severe groin, thigh, buttocks, and back pain.
Our dangerous drug and defective medical device attorneys, serving Austin and San Antonio, and all of Texas, have a record of helping our clients obtain substantial recoveries. In addition to Sulzer hip implant cases, we have represented clients who have sustained injuries from such devices as:
- Norplant contraceptive implants
- Penile implants

- IV bags
- Chemotherapy infusion pumps
- Silicone gel-filled breast implants
