Louisiana Dangerous Drug Attorneys – We Fight for your Justice and Financial Rights

Across Louisiana, patients and consumers depend upon prescription medications, contact lens solutions and medical devices. Despite close scrutiny and regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration, many Louisiana residents suffer serious illness and injury each year from defective or unsafe medicine and other health products. When that happens, pharmaceutical companies must be held accountable for the harm they’ve caused.

The dangerous drug and medical device attorneys at Neblett, Beard & Arsenault have devoted almost 40 years to representing personal injury victims from Alexandria to New Orleans and across the state. Contact us at 318-561-2500 or submit an online request for a free evaluation of your case.

Attorney Richard Arsenault has been appointed by the courts to serve on key drug and medical device cases across America. These cases have been some of the most historic cases of our time. They include the litigation cases involving drug company giants: Guidant, Vioxx, Bextra, Medtronic, Ortho Evra, Zicam, Zimmer, DePuy Orthopaedics, Actos, and Biomet. He has also published law review articles pertaining to class action litigation and spoken to other attorneys throughout the nation about this complex legal area.

We understand that many medications can cause side effects in people with certain medical conditions. That’s why pharmaceutical companies are required by law to conduct extensive testing on all new drugs and health products, then disclose any side effects to the FDA, medical professionals and consumers. However, not all side effects or other dangers become apparent during testing – and not all pharmaceutical products are tested equally. Sometimes a company will rush the testing phase in order to launch a medication in the marketplace – and hazardous side effects can be missed.

Prescription drug injuries can be extremely serious, resulting in organ damage, blood clots, illness or even death. Injuries caused by other medical or health items such as contact lens solution can be equally dangerous. Retinal damage, anaphylactic shock, kidney failure and liver damage are among the serious injuries that have been caused by pharmaceutical side effects in recent years.

If you have suffered injury from a pharmaceutical or medical device, treating your condition isn’t your only challenge. The pharmaceutical industry is very powerful, and manufacturers understand that injury claims can be damaging to their bottom line. Drug companies and their attorneys will work hard to dispute claims; they may argue your injury was a result of your own action and not their product. In some instances, they may offer an insufficient settlement in an attempt to keep the issue out of the courts or the media.

Pharmaceutical litigation cases are complicated, requiring testimony from qualified medical professionals to prove the link between the product and the injury. Dealing with big drug companies and their legal teams is difficult – and only an experienced law firm can make sure that your rights and interests are protected.
