Texas Dangerous Drugs & Medical Device Injury Lawyers
Patients rely on pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers to rigorously test their products before bringing them to market. However, the multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical industry is driven by profit margins, patent deadlines, and market share. Too often, drug companies rush untested medications through regulatory channels, conceal dangerous side effects discovered during clinical trials, or market defective medical implants to doctors.
At Grimes & Fertitta, P.C., we fight for patients who have suffered severe organ failure, stroke, heart attacks, or revision surgeries caused by dangerous prescription drugs and defective medical devices. Our trial attorneys possess the resources and technical expertise required to take on major pharmaceutical corporations.
Types of Pharmaceutical & Device Claims We Handle
- Defective Medical Devices & Implants Medical devices are intended to improve quality of life, but design defects, material degradation, or manufacturing contamination can cause device failure inside the body. We litigate claims involving:
- Failing Joint Replacements: Metal-on-metal hip replacements and defective knee implants that shed metal debris, causing metallosis, bone loss, and requiring premature revision surgery.
- Defective Surgical Mesh: Hernia mesh and transvaginal mesh products that erode, migrate, or cause severe internal infections and organ perforation.
- Malfunctioning Cardiac Devices: Defective pacemakers, artificial heart valves, or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).
- Dangerous Prescription Medications & OTC Drugs Pharmaceutical manufacturers are strictly required to issue clear warnings to doctors and patients regarding potential health risks associated with their medications. We represent victims of drugs that cause unwarned health conditions, such as:
- Increased risk of stroke, heart attack, or blood clots
- Acute kidney failure, liver damage, or internal bleeding
- Unwarned cancer risks associated with long-term medication use
- Severe birth defects resulting from unsafe drug exposure during pregnancy
- Failure to Warn & Marketing Misconduct In many pharmaceutical lawsuits, the core issue is a drug company’s failure to warn. When a pharmaceutical company becomes aware of severe side effects post-market but fails to update its “Black Box” warnings or advise medical professionals, it can be held legally liable for all resulting patient injuries.
