Defective or Dangerous Drugs

Rigorous testing by the Food and Drug Administration does not mean that the drug you are taking is safe. The consequences of using defective drugs can be deadly. At Kraft Davies Olsson PLLC, in Seattle, Washington, our seasoned attorneys recognize the severity of dangerous pharmaceuticals and work diligently to hold negligent drug companies responsible.

A doctor's prescription suggests that a drug is a step towards recovery, not a means to tragedy. For aggressive representation against powerful pharmaceutical companies, contact us at 206.624.8844.

You have likely read the names - Fen-Phen, Vioxx, Baycol, phenylpropanolamine, Prempro, and many others - prescription drugs that millions of Americans thought were safe to take on doctors' orders, but later learned were unsafe after suffering catastrophic injuries and even death. Unfortunately, absent a major change in "business as usual" in Washington, D.C., you are likely to continue to see more headlines about "killer drugs." This is because over the past several years the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates the pharmaceutical industry based solely on studies and data provided to it by the pharmaceutical industry itself (the FDA does no independent testing), has responded favorably to pharmaceutical industry requests to shorten the period of time for approval of newly developed drugs.

The Seattle drug recall lawyers at Kraft Davies Olsson PLLC, have successfully handled (and continue to handle) cases involving each of the above-named drugs, among others. We have a strong reputation as pharmaceutical lawyers among our peers in the plaintiffs' personal injury bar all across the United States, and have been hired by other lawyers - from Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Texas, Oregon, California, and Maryland, to name a few - to assist them in representing victims of unsafe prescription drugs.

While pharmaceutical companies focus on their bottom line and profitability, we focus on holding them accountable if they introduced an unsafe prescription drug into an unsuspecting market. Such cases should only be brought if the injury is serious, and if the lawyer representing the injury victim is an expert at fighting the big drug companies. Most lawyers charge the same 33.33% contingent fee, so there is no reason for a victim of a bad drug to pay the same fee to an inexperienced lawyer as the victim would pay to the most experienced lawyer. This is not the type of litigation where the lawyer should try to get on-the-job training at the client's expense.
