Who Is Liable For Drug-Related Injuries in New Haven?

Depending on the facts of your case, there are several possible avenues for pursuing compensation, including an individual or class action lawsuit. Responsible parties may include:

• The drug manufacturer — Pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to thoroughly test new drugs and ensure that they are as safe as possible. If a manufacturer fails to take sufficient care to make sure a drug is properly tested and labeled with appropriate warnings, it may be legally responsible for any resulting injuries.
• The doctor who prescribed the medication — Sometimes an adverse reaction to a drug is not the fault of the manufacturer or distributor, but a doctor who fails to prescribe it properly. If you should not have been given a certain drug, you may be able to bring a medical malpractice claim against the prescribing health care provider.
• The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program — If you or your child suffered an injury as a result of a defective vaccine, you may be able to pursue compensation for your losses. Vaccine injuries are handled differently from other claims, under a federally funded program.
