Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a dangerous drug claim?
Claims arise when medications cause harm that wasn't adequately warned about, were improperly manufactured, or were marketed for unapproved uses.
Can I still file if I took the medication years ago?
Potentially yes, depending on your state's statute of limitations and when you discovered or should have discovered the connection between the medication and your condition.
What if I'm still taking the medication?
Do not stop taking prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Seek medical advice about your concerns and document any side effects.
