Signature Diseases

Signature Diseases

Pharmaceutical companies, corporations, and medical personnel have professional obligations. A breach—intentional or unintentional—in those obligations can lead to injurious and life-threatening diseases among consumers, workers, patients, and the general public. Those responsible should be held accountable for their actions. As the victim of toxic substance health damage, medical malpractice, or even a defective product that cause illness, you have legal rights and options. Disease and illness caused by someone else’s wrongdoing includes:

• Drug-related (prescription, over-the-counter) diseases
• Environmental diseases (asbestos mesothelioma, black lung, lung cancer, etc.)
• Birth injury (cerebral palsy, brain injury, seizures, etc.)

Quite often, the history and clinical examination of patients with side effects reveal that no valid purpose for the offending drug has been present.  Adverse reactions can to a large extent be avoided in the elderly by choosing safe and effective drugs and applying sound therapeutic principles in prescribing, such as starting with a small dose, observing the patient frequently, and avoiding excessive use of multiple drugs at the same time. 

In other words, patients who suffer adverse drug reactions are very often victims of drugs that they should not have been taking that way in the first place.  If you, your loved one, or a friend has contracted disease as a result of pharmaceutical drugs prescribed by a medical professional, or other substances recommended by healthcare providers to be safe, you deserve compensation.  Speak out and protect your rights.
