New York Drug Injury Lawyer

Syracuse Drug Injury Attorneys

Prescription and over-the-counter drugs have become a part of our daily lives. Americans are developing serious and sometimes deadly health complications that require drugs to alleviate conditions or cure diseases. Sometimes, however, these drugs end up hurting or even killing the very people they’re intended to help, causing serious New York drug injuries.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS):

• At least half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug

• Half of the elderly take three or more prescription drugs

• On average, one in six Americans takes 3 or more prescriptions

Several factors contribute to New York drug injuries and pharmaceutical-related deaths: lack of proper regulation; pharmaceutical companies failing to disclose the results of internal test studies that suggest certain drugs are far more dangerous to patient health than beneficial; lobbyists employed by large companies to help limit the industry’s liability when their products cause widespread harm and death; and mistakes in diagnosis or prescriptions by healthcare providers all play a part in drug injuries.

Our personal injury law firm is investigating several drugs currently on the market or recently recalled that may cause drug injuries. The New York drug injury lawyers at Greene & Reid are dedicated to helping the victims and their families who have taken or used these products, only to suffer greatly when they thought they were going to get better.
