How Dangerous Drug Cases Work
Dangerous drug cases involve alleging that a pharmaceutical company knew or should have known about serious risks. These cases typically fall into three categories:
- Design Defects – The drug’s chemical formula is allegedly dangerous, even when manufactured correctly.
- Manufacturing Defects – The drug was allegedly manufactured incorrectly, making it more dangerous than intended.
- Failure to Warn – The pharmaceutical company allegedly failed to adequately warn doctors and patients about known risks.
Our attorneys investigate each case thoroughly. We review medical records, pharmaceutical company documents, and FDA communications when available. We also consult with medical experts to help evaluate whether there is a connection between the drug and your injury.
Maryland Statute of Limitations
In Maryland, personal injury claims are generally subject to a three-year statute of limitations, but the specific deadline can depend on the facts and the type of claim. Maryland’s discovery rule may affect when this period begins if you did not learn of the injury or its cause until later. Because time limits can be complicated and fact-specific, it is important to speak with an attorney promptly about your situation.
Product Liability Standards in Maryland
Maryland product liability claims may be brought under theories such as defective design, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn. Depending on the circumstances, these claims may involve strict liability, negligence, or other legal theories. An attorney can analyze which standards may apply to your dangerous drug case and how they affect the evidence needed.
Our Track Record
CHASENBOSCOLO reports that it has recovered over $750 million for injured clients since 1986. The firm’s published results include significant settlements and verdicts in a variety of injury cases, such as multi-million-dollar recoveries in personal injury, workers’ compensation, auto accident, and construction matters. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes, and each case depends on its own facts and circumstances.
What to Do If You’ve Been Injured
If you or a loved one suffered serious side effects from a medication, consider taking these steps:
