PRACTICE OVERVIEW
Fighting for Victims of Dangerous Medications with Aggressive Legal Representation in Charlotte & Kinston, NC
If you or a loved one suffered serious side effects or injury after taking a prescription or over-the-counter medication, you may be entitled to compensation. At The Emory Law Firm, our experienced defective drug attorneys in Charlotte and Kinston, North Carolina, aggressively represent individuals harmed by dangerous pharmaceuticals. We hold negligent drug manufacturers, distributors, and other parties accountable for putting profits ahead of patient safety.
Understanding Defective Drug Claims
Pharmaceutical companies have a legal responsibility to ensure their products are safe when used as directed. Unfortunately, many medications make it to market with undisclosed risks, inadequate warnings, or manufacturing defects. When that happens, innocent patients can suffer life-altering injuries—or worse.
You may have a valid defective drug claim if the medication:
- Caused severe side effects not adequately disclosed
- Was contaminated during manufacturing
- Was improperly marketed or prescribed off-label
- Was later recalled due to safety concerns
- Led to illness, organ damage, or wrongful death
Commonly Litigated Dangerous Drugs
Some drugs have been the subject of large-scale lawsuits and mass tort litigation due to widespread harm. Examples include:
- Zantac (ranitidine) – linked to cancer-causing impurities
- Ozempic / Wegovy – associated with gastrointestinal issues and gallbladder complications
- Elmiron – connected to permanent vision loss
- Invokana – linked to ketoacidosis and amputations
- Xeljanz – associated with increased risk of blood clots and heart problems
- Hernia mesh or IUD-related drug-device combos
If you took a medication later subject to a recall or warning label update, you may still have time to file a claim. Our firm can help you determine your eligibility.
Who Is Liable in a Defective Drug Case?
Depending on the facts of your case, several parties may be held legally responsible, including:
- The drug manufacturer or pharmaceutical company
