You may feel unsure of your legal rights or how you can get compensation, but a Bronx defective drug lawyer can help you. At Morelli Law, our attorneys understand just how difficult this experience can be.
Our personal injury lawyers in the Bronx are here to guide you compassionately through the process and advocate fiercely to ensure you are properly compensated for the harm you’ve suffered.
Understanding Product Liability Law
It’s important to understand some key aspects of product liability law for defective drug cases. This area of law allows those harmed to pursue compensation from the manufacturers, distributors, and others involved in making or selling the product.
Product liability involves three main theories – design defect, manufacturing defect, and failure to warn. Proving one of these liability theories is essential for your case. In brief, these are:
- Design defect – a problem with the drug itself.
- Manufacturing defect – a problem with how the drug is made.
- Failure to warn – Not informing the public of the known potential dangers of a drug.
Our experienced Bronx defective drug lawyers know how to investigate medical and corporate records to find evidence that points to one or more of these theories.
If we can establish liability under these theories, you may be entitled to damages for financial losses, pain and suffering, and more. Our goal is to hold those responsible for defective products fully accountable.

Your defective drug lawsuit could help you and potentially millions of others from the harm caused by a defective drug. When drugs cause significant harm, manufacturers may start a drug recall to remove the product from circulation or be forced to by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
However, these recalls don’t always happen quickly enough. Our firm will investigate whether a recall should have occurred sooner.
When severe reactions go undisclosed until it’s too late, the company has failed its due diligence. We will examine marketing strategies used to determine if safety risks were downplayed to boost profits. We will also explore clinical trials, incident reporting, and oversight failures that may apply to your case.
Investigating and Proving Liability
Here are the key ways that Morelli Law can prove liability in a defective drug case.
- Establishing a design defect – Proving through expert analysis, reports, and studies that the drug’s design was inherently unsafe and there were reasonable safer alternative designs possible.
- Showing a manufacturing defect – Using quality control documents, inspection reports, analytical testing, etc. to show the drug was contaminated or produced inconsistently because of unsafe manufacturing practices.
- Failure to warn of known risks – Evaluating clinical trials, adverse reports, correspondence with regulators, and other sources to determine if additional side effects were known but not properly disclosed to doctors and patients.
- Negligent testing and oversight – Investigating alleged lapses, such as inadequate pre-market safety screening, insufficient post-market monitoring of side effects, misleading presentation of trial results, etc.
- Violation of industry standards/requirements – Groups like the FDA have standards on areas like stability testing, quality assurance, informed consent protocols, etc.
- Proximate cause of injury – Having medical experts substantiate how and why the plaintiff’s adverse reaction or injury was specifically caused by the defect rather than other factors.
We typically pursue multiple analytical and medical angles. These cases can be quite complex and often lead to mass tort lawsuits against the manufacturer.
Pursuing Compensation for Injuries
Our attorneys are dedicated to recovering funds to help cover the extensive costs associated with your injuries and long-term care. Besides pursuing compensation for out-of-pocket medical bills like hospitalizations, procedures, and ongoing treatment plans, defective drug lawsuits aim to reimburse:
- Lost wages from missed work during recovery or long-term disability.
- The pain and suffering you experienced, along with other non-economic damages.
- Permanent disabilities, disfigurements or loss of normal life functions caused by the harmful effects of the drug.
- Lifetime costs for assisted living, nursing care, and lifetime medical monitoring if required.
Through diligent investigation, strong evidence gathering, and determined settlement negotiations, our legal team will fight to ensure you receive the maximum financial compensation warranted.
