Drugs and Prescriptions Malpractice
In the world of modern medicine, pharmaceuticals can provide great benefit to patients—if used properly. Unfortunately, these same powerful drugs can result in death or permanent disability if misused. If you or someone close to you has taken a prescription or over-the-counter drug that resulted in health damage, we can help.
Berman & Simmons medical malpractice lawyers have the experience and resources necessary to evaluate your case involving injury from pharmaceutical use. In these cases, death or injury may result because the drug is unsafe, a doctor prescribed it improperly or a pharmacist made an error while filling the prescription. Even if a drug is safe to use on its own, it may interact with other medications, a risk that should be recognized by the prescribing physician and/or the pharmacist filling the prescription.
Berman & Simmons lawyers have also successfully prosecuted claims against pharmaceutical and drug manufacturers.
Our attorneys have experience in all of these categories and we can help you to determine if you have a case that can result in a recovery.

How much will our services cost?
You may be wondering how you will pay legal fees while your lawsuit is pending. The good news is—you won't pay anything upfront. We represent all medical malpractice clients on a contingent fee basis. This means we receive fees for our services only if we win. When we've successfully prevailed upon the responsible party or insurer to pay you, that's when we'll receive our payment, as well. Your lawsuit begins with a free case evaluation with a Berman & Simmons lawyer. We will thoroughly explain the details of our fee arrangement during this first consultation.
