Virginia Drug Injury Lawyers

Injury Lawyers serving Northern Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C.

There recently have been a variety of drug injuries in the news with several drug manufacturers in the spotlight. The pharmaceutical industry is hugely competitive. Drug manufacturing giants aggressively market their products, often with their eyes strictly on profits. Specific health risks associated with their “wonder drugs” are frequently downplayed or hidden from the public. All too often, the FDA (www.fda.gov) must request stricter warning labels, only to pull the drug off the market months later. However, by the time of these drug recalls, many case reports of drug injury and even death have accumulated.

A Maryland, Virginia, or Washington, D.C. drug injury lawyer at ChasenBoscolo handles pharmaceutical cases because the public deserves compensation for drug companies' carelessness. Too many drugs have made headlines with their frightening side effects, which include, primary pulmonary hypertension, hemorrhagic strokes, kidney damage, kidney failure, and more.
