New York City Mass torts

Mass torts is the term used to refer to pending litigation against the manufacturer of a dangerous drug.  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the pharmaceutical industry and issues numerous warnings and recalls regarding the safety of drugs every year.  Despite the FDA's efforts to protect the consumer, dangerous drugs are still on the market and can result in serious injury or death of the patient.  Mass torts are meant to provide people injured by dangerous drugs the ability to seek compensation through the legal system.

By law, drug manufacturers are responsible for injuries incurred by the patient if the product they sell is defective or unreasonably dangerous. A mass tort law firm is dedicated to serving the people who have been injured by dangerous drugs by holding drug manufacturers accountable for their products.  Unfortunately, some drugs are still marketed by drug companies even after evidence of serious side effects or death had been noted. 

The sale and marketing of dangerous drugs can happen in several ways.  For example, the consumer may not be warned of potential serious side effects,  the manufacturing process may be flawed, or the product itself may be defective.  In all these cases, the manufacturer is liable and can be sued for damages even if they were unaware of the danger. It does not matter how carefully the product was produced or labeled.
