DO I HAVE A CASE?

If you believe that you might be a victim of corporate wrongdoing, the first question you must ask before successfully pressing your claim in a court of law is "Do I have a case?"

To help you decide, an experienced Herman Gerel, LLP attorney will evaluate your claim, all at no cost to you.

You can begin this process simply by selecting the appropriate practice area listed below:

	PRODUCT LIABILITY
	.
	PHARMACEUTICAL LIABILITY

Product Liability governs the liability of manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and vendors for damages caused by dangerous or defective products. The goal of product liability laws is to help protect consumers from dangerous products, while holding manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible for putting into the marketplace products that they knew or should have known were dangerous or defective. Depending upon the jurisdiction, the liability of the various parties involved as the product passes from the manufacturer to the consumer will vary.

Every year approximately 200,000 Americans die from prescription drug reactions. Manufacturers of drugs, medications, and medical devices have a duty to consumers to provide products that are reasonably safe when used as intended. A product's approval by the FDA alone does not allow a manufacturer to avoid liability.

Companies are obligated to inform the public of a product's risks, and the required methods of informing the public vary by the type of product. With non-prescription drugs, proper labeling and enclosures are generally sufficient. However, prescription drugs are used under the supervision of a physician, and as a result, the manufacturing company only has a duty to inform the physician.
