Drug Injury
Over 35 years of experience. Over $100 million recovered for clients.
New Jersey Drug Injury Lawyer
When you are prescribed a medication, there is a reasonable expectation the drug will be safe for you to use. This is how it pans out most of the time, but there are instances where dangerous products make it to store shelves and into the pharmacies. There are numerous safety regulations in place to reduce the chances of dangerous products making it to the public, but sometimes serious defects are overlooked.
Despite all the government testing and consumer warnings, innocent people are injured and killed daily by defective drugs. Whether the harm was caused by a manufacturing defect or a failure to warn of possible side effects, our New Jersey drug injury lawyer can fight to obtain compensation for your pain and suffering. At the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm, we have extensive experience protecting clients injured by dangerous pharmaceuticals.
