You trusted a pharmaceutical company or device maker to put your safety first. But rushing a product to market, hiding known risks, and ignoring warning signs can have devastating consequences for individuals who are already vulnerable.

FDA approval based on limited trials.

Concealing adverse event reports and severe side-effects.

Promoting unapproved uses.

Incentives from corporations for promoting certain drugs.

Dangerous drug and medical device cases are rarely local — the companies behind them operate nationwide, and injured patients are often joined together through Class Action or Multi-District Litigation (MDL). These cases demand deep medical expertise and the resources to go through millions of pages of internal corporate documents. You need a firm that’s led this fight before.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a dangerous drug or a failed device or implant, you need more than a local lawyer — you need the Louisiana dangerous drug attorneys who’ve led numerous national drug litigations and have secured billions in verdicts for affected patients across the nation. What sets our attorneys apart from the rest:

Immediate warning signs may include:

A recall can be strong evidence in a dangerous drug or failed medical device case. However, your specific drug does not have to be under recall in order to have a claim for your injuries. Many dangerous products cause harm long before a recall is issued. Warning signs to watch out for include:

These cases move against a deadline, and evidence can be harder to get the longer you wait. We get involved immediately to protect your rights and build the strongest possible case.

Pharmaceutical companies and device makers have armies of lawyers whose only job is to protect the company, not you. They’ll dispute your diagnosis, delay your claim, and hope you give up. We’ve spent over 40 years learning how to defeat those tactics in Louisiana Courts and beyond.

We’ve recovered over $10 billion for Our Clients by building cases that win. In drug and device cases, that means having served in national litigation leadership — pursuing every avenue available, including punitive damages, to make sure you walk away fully compensated.

Being harmed by a product that was supposed to help you is a special kind of betrayal. You’re already vulnerable, suffering from medical issues, and now dealing with injuries, bills, and difficulty returning to work and life as you knew it. We treat you like family, handle the legal fight, and make sure the company responsible is held fully accountable. Our Louisiana attorneys have the national reach you need for justice and we have the resources and experience to fight for you.

Common Questions About Louisiana Dangerous Drugs and Medical Devices Cases

How do I know if my injury was caused by the drug or device?
This is something Our Attorneys, nurses, and medical experts help establish. If you developed a new health problem after starting a medication or receiving a device, it’s worth having your case reviewed. Often times injuries and severe conditions, such as cancer, may not manifest until years down the road.

Do I have a claim if my drug or device was FDA approved?
FDA approval doesn’t necessarily protect drug companies from liability for your medical injuries. Approvals can be based on incomplete data and submissions later revealed. Medical injuries are often the result of failures to warn of serious side-effects and risks where your consent to take the drug was not fully informed.

Do I have to pay you upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing unless you win your case, and our fees come out of that settlement or judgment amount.

Is my case part of a larger lawsuit against the manufacturer?
It might be. Many dangerous drug and device cases are consolidated into mass litigation within multi-district litigation (MDL). This allows personalized damage recovery for you or a loved one based on the specific injuries and not a “one-size-fits-all” settlement. We have decades of experience in leadership positions within these MDLs. We’ll explain what that means for your case and fight for your individual compensation every step of the way.
