It is estimated that around half of all Americans are on prescription drugs at any given time. Many people take one or more drugs on a long-term basis to help with psychiatric issues, pain management, birth control, high cholesterol, diabetes and other continual issues. Because so many people take prescription drugs on a regular basis, our country relies on all FDA approved drugs to be completely safe. If a drug you have taken turns out to be dangerous, it is important to speak with a Minnesota personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal options.
Drug companies are required to complete several years of testing on animals and humans before they seek FDA approval for their drugs. After testing is complete, the FDA will review the research records and then evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the drug. Unfortunately, some companies are less than honest about their research methods and even some honest companies have found long-term side effects of their prescriptions that would be impossible to predict within only a few years of testing. When these situations occur, the drug is declared dangerous and people who have been taking the prescription will have the right to file a personal injury claim in Minnesota.
Once a drug is declared to be defective or once you experience problems related to a prescription, you only have four years to contact a Minnesota personal injury attorney and file a lawsuit against the company. If you learn that a prescription drug you have been using was recalled, act immediately. Do not wait until you start experiencing health problems before you speak to your doctor and a Minnesota personal injury lawyer.

"I needed the direction and Christopher Hoffer provided that. He is very calm, well organized, and very capable. I still have pain from the car accident today but he helped me get a settlement from the insurance company to cover auto and medical expenses and was very supportive. He did a great job for me and he'll do the same for you." – Marv O.
