Dallas attorney Michael Grossman explains prescription drug injury lawsuits

Heartburn is a condition with which many Texans are familiar.  Frequent and persistent heartburn, however, could be a sign that a patient is suffering from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).  In these cases, doctors may suggest prescription antacids to control the symptoms.  Unfortunately, prescription antacids have been associated with a number of potentially deadly side effects, especially for elderly patients.  Why then do doctors continue to suggest them?  They often simply are not aware of the side effects.  Drug companies will often stop at nothing to keep incriminating research from making it onto the warning labels for their products, even if it means covering up studies for extended periods of time or delaying the publication of research.  Drug companies are extremely powerful and the Food and Drug Administration unfortunately is not, so drug companies can easily get away with this cover up.  Often times, this comes at a cost to human lives.

If you have lost someone due to the deadly side effects of a prescription drug, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit in Texas.  Before you do so, however, you should consult an experienced personal injury attorney.  Lawsuits involving medical malpractice in Texas can be very technical and may overwhelm someone without legal expertise.  If you or someone you love has suffered due to a prescription antacid or any other drug, contact a Dallas personal injury attorney and make sure your injuries are fully compensated.
