Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Cleveland

The Reality Of Dangerous And Deadly Pharmaceutical Products

The pharmaceutical industry in the United States is highly regulated. New drugs must undergo rigorous research, tests and trials before reaching the market. Unfortunately, pharmaceutical companies sometimes fail to detect or disclose serious side effects — some of which can be life-threatening. These defects only come to light when patients have already suffered significant harms.
