California Dangerous Drug Attorneys

Your Trusted Advocates for Dangerous Drug Victims in California

Medications are meant to improve lives, but for too many Californians, they instead cause harm. Dangerous drugs have the potential to wreak havoc on your health, leading to severe side effects, long-term complications, and even life-threatening injuries. When pharmaceutical companies fail to disclose risks, cut corners during development, or ignore warning signs, consumers pay the ultimate price.

At Matthews & Associates, we’re here to help you stand up to these negligent corporations. With over 25 years of experience, our team of California dangerous drug attorneys is committed to fighting for victims like you. We understand the complexities of these cases and are dedicated to holding pharmaceutical companies accountable for the harm they’ve caused.

Call us today at (888) 923-7001 or contact us online for a free, no-obligation consultation.

What Makes a Drug Dangerous?

Even FDA-approved medications can pose risks. A drug is considered dangerous when it causes severe health complications despite being used as directed. These complications can range from organ damage and mental health issues to chronic illnesses and developmental problems.

Common Contributing Factors to Dangerous Drugs:

  • Insufficient Testing: Rushed approvals or inadequate clinical trials leave risks undetected.
  • Contamination Issues: Lax manufacturing processes introduce harmful substances.
  • Misleading Marketing: Downplaying risks or overstating effectiveness to boost sales.
  • Failure to Warn: Omitting critical safety information from labels or promotional materials.

At Matthews & Associates, we investigate how and why a drug caused harm, building a strong case to hold those responsible accountable.

Examples of Dangerous Drug Cases We Handle

Our experienced attorneys have successfully fought for victims harmed by a wide range of drugs. Some of the most common dangerous drug lawsuits we handle include the following:

  • Zantac: Linked to increased risks of certain cancers.
  • Tylenol (Acetaminophen): Associated with developmental issues during pregnancy.
  • Accutane: Connected to digestive disorders and birth defects.
  • Xarelto: Causes severe internal bleeding and other serious complications.
  • NuvaRing and Essure Birth Control Devices: Linked to organ damage and other life-altering side effects.

Even if the medication that harmed you is not listed here, our team has the knowledge to evaluate your case thoroughly. Contact us today, and we’ll determine the next steps to seek justice.

The Impact of Dangerous Drugs

The effects of dangerous drugs can be devastating, often leaving victims with lasting physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Common consequences of dangerous drugs include:

  • Organ Damage: Liver or kidney failure due to toxic side effects.
  • Heart and Circulatory Issues: Increased risk of strokes, blood clots, or heart attacks.
  • Cancer Risks: Development of certain cancers directly linked to medication exposure.
  • Severe Allergic Reactions: Life-threatening conditions like anaphylaxis.
  • Mental Health Problems: Depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts triggered by the drug.

Many victims face ongoing medical treatments, loss of income, and emotional distress. At Matthews & Associates, we aim to alleviate your burden by fighting for the compensation you deserve.

Compensation for Dangerous Drug Victims

Holding pharmaceutical companies accountable not only provides justice but also secures the financial relief you need to recover. Our attorneys fight to recover maximum damages, which can include:

  • Medical Expenses: Covering hospital visits, surgeries, medications, and ongoing care.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for time away from work due to illness or treatment.
  • Pain and Suffering: Addressing emotional trauma and chronic physical pain caused by the drug.
  • Punitive Damages: Reserved for cases involving egregious corporate negligence or misconduct.

We leave no avenue unexplored in building your claim and ensuring all your losses are considered.
