Dangerous Drugs, Misfilled Prescriptions and Harmful Medical Devices

Most people don’t think twice about purchasing over-the-counter or herbal remedies. Likewise, when healthcare providers prescribe medications, patients assume they must be safe if they have passed Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and that pharmacies will fill the prescription accurately. Consumers also assume that if they read and follow the inserted directions and labels, they are protected.

Unfortunately, that’s not always true. Too many patients suffer serious injuries or die because of mistakes in researching, manufacturing, labeling or prescribing drugs. Slack & Davis’ legal strategy and timing have been pivotal in pharmaceutical cases involving serious injury or death due to drugs such as Baycol, Vioxx, Fen Phen and others.

Sadly, pharmaceuticals aren’t the only threat to patients. Medical devices, including artificial heart valves, pacemakers, hip and knee joints, dental implants, stents, orthopedic plates and screws or breast implants also have posed serious health concerns.

At Slack & Davis, our in-house ability to screen and investigate complex cases involving dangerous drugs, misfilled prescriptions and defective medical devices sets us apart from other personal injury firms and gives our clients tremendous leverage against tough corporate adversaries. Our full-time, on-site legal nurse consultant provides patient-care expertise, allowing our medical and pharmaceutical attorneys to view the case from many different perspectives.
