Protecting Texans from the Harmful Effects of Dangerous Drugs
Medications are meant to heal, improve lives, and address health concerns. However, some drugs can do the opposite, leaving patients to face severe and unexpected side effects, life-threatening conditions, or permanent damage. When a pharmaceutical company, health professional, or distributor fails to uphold their duty of care, the results can be devastating. If your life has been turned upside down by a dangerous drug, you don’t have to go through this alone.
Matthews & Associates is a trusted legal team with extensive experience fighting on behalf of dangerous drug victims across Texas. We are committed to holding negligent parties accountable, securing the compensation you deserve, and ensuring you receive the justice your case demands.

Understanding Dangerous Drugs
A medication may be considered dangerous if it causes severe health complications—even when used correctly. Dangerous drugs can range from over-the-counter medications to prescription treatments and elective therapies. Whether the risks come from inadequate testing, misleading marketing, or a failure to warn, these complications cause real harm to patients.
Common Types of Dangerous Drug Cases
At Matthews & Associates, we have represented clients harmed by a wide variety of dangerous drugs, including but not limited to the following:
- Abilify
- Zantac
- Xarelto
- Yaz
- Accutane
- Botox
- Tylenol (Acetaminophen)
- Blood pressure medications such as Benicar
- Proton pump inhibitors like Nexium and Prilosec
Even drugs approved by the FDA can be reclassified as dangerous when post-market data reveals hidden risks. Our firm has the knowledge and resources to hold major corporations, including pharmaceutical giants, accountable for their negligence.
How Dangerous Drugs Cause Harm
The harm caused by dangerous drugs can stem from various issues, including the following:
- Improper Testing: Failure to conduct thorough clinical trials can leave harmful side effects undiscovered.
- Contamination: Drugs may become harmful due to manufacturing errors or contamination.
- Misleading Information: False advertising or incomplete warnings about side effects can lead to misuse.
- Adverse Interactions: Lack of testing with other medications can result in serious health complications.
- Post-Market Surveillance Failures: Without adequate monitoring once drugs hit the market, prolonged harm to consumers can occur.
Our legal team understands the complexities of dangerous drug cases, including the necessity of proving a company’s liability for the harm caused.
Injuries and Long-Term Effects of Dangerous Drugs
Drugs labeled as dangerous can have wide-ranging consequences. Victims may face both immediate medical emergencies and long-term health issues. Common injuries resulting from these drugs include:
- Organ Damage: Liver or kidney failure is a frequent outcome of toxic medications.
- Cardiovascular Problems: Increased risk of heart attacks, blood clots, or strokes.
- Neurological Effects: Issues such as memory loss, tremors, or seizures.
- Birth Defects: Pregnant women taking certain medications may unknowingly harm their unborn children.
- Cancer Risks: Many drugs have been linked to increased risks of specific types of cancer.
- Mental Health Challenges: Worsening anxiety, depression, or even suicidal ideation.
Burning through savings to pay medical bills, missing work, or adjusting to a decreased quality of life are common for victims of dangerous drugs. Matthews & Associates is here to alleviate those burdens and help you on the road to recovery.
Compensation Available for Dangerous Drug Victims
Those harmed by dangerous drugs may be entitled to substantial compensation to address their losses. At Matthews & Associates, we fight to recover damages such as the following:
- Medical Costs: Covering treatments, procedures, medications, and ongoing care.
- Lost Income: Compensation for missed work and reduced earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: Relief for emotional distress and physical pain caused by the drug.
- Punitive Damages: Intended to punish the responsible party for negligence or misconduct.
Every case is unique, and we tailor our approach to maximize your potential compensation.
