Dangerous Drugs

When a drug is approved and put on the market, patients and their healthcare providers trust the drug is safe.

A few mild side effects might be expected, but some drugs can cause serious complications that were not anticipated by the patient or their doctor. Drug injury lawyers can help those harmed by bad drugs.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is responsible for vetting clinical studies performed by drug companies on their products before they are approved. But sometimes those studies are inadequate, resulting in dangerous drugs being sold to consumers. 

Patients who were harmed by these dangerous drugs have turned to the lawyers and attorneys at Schmidt National Law Group for over three decades to help then get compensation for their pain and suffering. We have settled thousands of cases for our clients resulting in cash settlements and payouts. 

Our drug injury lawyers are currently involved in litigation against some of the country’s biggest pharmaceutical companies, including:
