One look at the newspaper tells the story: too often drugs make us sick instead of well. Drug trials, safeguards, and oversight play a role, but these precautions cannot overcome all risk. Chicopee drug litigation negligence law protects consumers in the instance of sickness do to proper use of OTC (over-the-counter) or prescription drugs. “Proper use” is an essential point: the directions and precautions included by drug manufacturers have a distinct purpose and should be followed. Failing to do so may affect health and will almost certainly void any Chicopee drug litigation case.
Negligence law protects consumers from dangerous products. In the case of Chicopee drug litigation, “strict liability” applies. Strict liability is a special case of negligence law, in which the parameters of responsibility are tightened such that there is almost no room for mitigating factors, excuses, or any other passing of responsibility.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is the government oversight entity for drug production, distribution, and marketing. The FDA holds the power to approve, reject, or revoke permission to market a drug to consumers. FDA approval implies safety, but recent years have shown that approval is not a guarantee of safety—whether due to intentional cover-up of a drug’s dangerous effects or due simply to initially undetected effects. All of this only serves to reinforce the importance of Chicopee drug litigation.
