Pharmaceutical

With the state legislature behind them, Texas courts have increasingly ruled on behalf of large pharmaceutical manufacturers. If the FDA approved the drug, they argue, then it must be safe and the drug company is absolved of liability. But juries need to hear more than just test results. We present evidence of unique side effects and long-term injury that go beyond FDA testing. We find the real injury and losses behind the drug company's greed.

Product Liability

Manufacturing safety regulations in the United States are intended to assure the public that products that enter our marketplace are safe from dangerous defects. Unfortunately, the past several years has seen an erosion of product safety laws, as state legislatures and the U.S. Congress have given in to demands to relax safety standards. The result has been a dramatic increase in serious injuries and deaths resulting from defects and dangerous designs.

  • Defective Toys
  • Pharmaceutical Liability
