Prescription Drug Injuries
New Mexico Medical Malpractice Lawyer
When a medical professional prescribes a pharmaceutical product for you, it’s always with the hope that your health will improve. You don’t expect that using prescription drugs will cause your health to deteriorate. Unfortunately, many pharmaceutical companies cut corners in testing or don’t take reasonable steps to determine the potential side effects of a chemical compound. In too many instances, drug makers know about the potential hazards of a prescription drug, but choose not to disclose them to the public. If you or someone you love has suffered unnecessarily after taking prescription drugs, you may have a personal injury claim for your losses. Buchanan Law Firm, LLC can help.
