If the side effects of your medication cause additional harm and injury rather than or in the process of performing their anticipated effect, you may be able to file a medical malpractice or product liability lawsuit. Hazardous medication side effects may fall under the heading of a personal injury case if it is provable that a negligent act or omission is responsible for your suffering, injury or the wrongful death of a loved one.
Like most medical-related personal injury cases, executing a medication side effect lawsuit can be complicated and fairly lengthy. You will need an expert team of medical malpractice lawyers to investigate, build and battle your case with insight, diplomacy and aggression. Your attorneys will be responsible for determining who is at fault, proving liability, and determining that the medication acted outside of its predictable operations. With your consent, they will also need to determine an acceptable compensation limit for settlement. Most of the time they will need to consult with a medical expert and possibly retain their testimony if and when the case goes to court.
