Barry
& Loewy LLP represents individuals and their
families who have been injured or killed due to
dangerous pharmaceutical drugs. Despite the United
States’ worldwide reputation for health care, more
than 2.2 million citizens are injured each year due
to adverse reactions and harmful side effects of
prescription drugs.At Barry & Loewy LLP, we believe that drug companies owe consumers a duty to ensure that their prescription drugs and medications are safe when used as prescribed. They are obligated, under federal law, to make safe products, including the duty to safely design, manufacture, inspect and label a prescription drug and medication appropriately. Malpractice may exist if there is proof that a healthcare provider placed their personal interests or that of the pharmaceutical industry above the patient’s interests.

There is also the issue of prescription drug recalls, which are often in the news because these drugs are typically rushed to market without adequate testing and labeling. The long-term effects of prescription medications are difficult to determine. Tests that most people assume are performed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are sometimes done by laboratories and are funded by the drug manufacturer. In some instances, people have to suffer injury or die before a prescription medication recall is instituted. Today, miracle drugs can improve and sometimes save lives, but they can also end them. In the United States alone, an estimated 200,000 Americans die annually due to adverse reactions and harmful side-effects of prescription drugs.
