Litigation Over Defective Drugs

Large pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to place safe drugs into the marketplace. In some instances, drug companies rush a product to market and/or act overzealously in promoting the drug and convincing physicians to prescribe it in order to maximize profits.

At The Brandi Law Firm, we hope the work we do not only gets compensation for clients who are injured as a result of these actions by drug companies but also forces drug companies to do everything they can, above and beyond FDA requirements, to make sure the drugs they sell are safe.

Our California drug recall lawyers have experience representing clients suffering from severe physical damage as a result of undisclosed side effects of prescription drug medication.
