Question 1

Can I sue a drug manufacturer if I was harmed by a medication?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If a drug caused serious harm that was not adequately disclosed in its warnings, you may have a product liability claim. A black box warning or FDA recall significantly strengthens your case. Many drug injury cases are pursued as mass torts.

Question 2

What is an FDA Class I recall and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

A Class I recall is the FDA's most serious classification — it means use of the product may cause serious health consequences or death. If you were harmed by a product later subject to a Class I recall, the recall provides powerful evidence in your lawsuit.

Question 3

What is a black box warning and how does it affect my case?

Accepted Answer

A black box warning is the FDA's strongest safety warning, placed on a drug label when there is evidence of serious or life-threatening risk. If a manufacturer downplayed these risks or a physician prescribed the drug without disclosing them, you may have a claim.

Question 4

How long do I have to file a defective medical device lawsuit?

Accepted Answer

Statutes of limitations vary by state and injury type, but typically run 2 to 3 years from the date of injury or discovery. For medical devices, the clock often starts when you learned the device caused your condition — not when you received it.
