Oklahoma Pharmaceutical Liability
Every year, thousands of people die from or are seriously injured by over-the-counter and prescription drugs. Patients utilize these drugs and assume they will not be harmed by them because they have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or have been prescribed by doctors they trust. Many people do not realize that they could be putting themselves at risk by using FDA approved drugs.

Why could FDA approved drugs still put me at risk?
Unfortunately, many of the drugs that hit the marketplace may have been rushed through the approval process without sufficient testing or trials. When cases of death and severe injury emerge, defective drugs are recalled. That's why side effects associated with a specific drug often do not appear until after the drug is on the market. Safety of the product is on the manufacturer, not the government, to make a safe drug and to adequately warn the public of potential side effects linked with the drug's use. With aggressive pharmaceutical litigation, the drug companies may be held accountable and ordered to pay for their mistakes.
Drugs that are an area of concern include: Accutane, Bextra, Celebrex, Crestor, Ephedra, Fen-Phen, Meridia, Naproxen, Ortho Evra, OxyContin, Paxil, Serevent, Viagra, Vioxx, Zyprexa.
In the state of Oklahoma, the statute of limitations on filing a claim is 2 years from the date of the injury or death. It is important to contact Garrett Law Office as soon as possible, so that we may advise you as to whether you still have time to file your case.
