Lawsuits on Behalf of Injured Patients

West Virginia Drug Recall Lawyers
In some cases, drugs may be recalled once they are discovered to be dangerous or defective. However, this is not always the case and drugs are allowed to stay on the market and be prescribed by any doctor. We can assist clients in determining if a lawsuit is appropriate in their case, whether the drug has been recalled or not.
A defective drug lawsuit can be filed against the pharmaceutical company that produced the drug in question. The drug must be shown to have been harmful beyond the scope of their warnings. Drugs may produce side effects, for example, that are not listed on the package and which cause serious health issues.

When we begin the process of constructing your defective medication lawsuit, we will need to collect medical records and other documents that show the negative consequences you have experienced as a result of this drug. Though this may seem like an invasion of your privacy, it is essential that we have this information and you are willing to discuss these facts in open court if you want your lawsuit to be successful.
Drug Injuries
Any type of defective drug can directly or indirectly cause a range of injuries and conditions, including brain injuries, nerve injuries, spinal cord injuries, infections, sepsis, organ damage, heart attacks and strokes. Unfortunately, they can even bring about the wrongful death of an individual.
Prescription and Medication Errors
A pharmacist is responsible for providing patients with the correct type of drug. A doctor is responsible for providing the patient with the correct drug for the symptoms, along with proper dosing instructions. Unfortunately, a medication error or medical error can occur, leaving a patient injured due to the negligence of a doctor or pharmacist. We handle these types of cases for clients who have suffered serious injuries.

Brain Injury
While timbering in WV, a heavy equipment operator sustained a permanent brain injury while performing the duties of his job. What price can you put on the loss of a fully functioning, fully reasoning brain? Jeff Robinette was able to negotiate a settlement that was annuitized to provide for this man for the rest of his life.
Crushed Leg Injury
Imagine having your leg crushed so badly in an accident that you have to undergo two surgeries to insert multiple pins and have a rod hammered into the bone just to stabilize the femur. Unfortunately, the first rod inserted into the bone didn’t accomplish the desired effect, so the rod had to be removed and surgically reinserted. Imagine the great pain, the months of therapy and recovery, and the frustration of knowing you can never return to the type of work you have performed for decades.
Jeff Robinette was able to obtain a great enough settlement to pay this man’s medical bills in their entirety and money enough to start a new business so he could work and live a productive life even with his permanent impairment.
Crushed Foot Injury
While working in Morgantown, WV for a large national retailer, our client, a young woman in her early twenties, was ordered to use equipment that she was not properly trained to use. In the course of attempting to complete her task, she sustained a severe crush injury to her foot. Due to this incident, our client lost full use of this foot for the rest of her life and was living with chronic, persistent pain.
Our firm was able to obtain a sizable settlement which took care of all her medical bills and future treatment for her foot injury. The settlement was ample enough to allow this young woman to go back to college and retrain for employment which will accommodate her permanent disability.
