Experienced Legal Representation for Victims of Defective Drugs

When you receive a prescription from your doctor or pick up drugs from the pharmacy, the last thing you expect is for your medication to leave you worse off than you started. Unfortunately, this nightmare is a reality for all too many Wisconsin residents, and by some measures is becoming a more common occurrence than ever before. The defective drug lawyers of Scherr & Scherr, LLP have decades of experience in negotiations and litigation pertaining to defective drugs and related injuries.

Sadly, ingestion or injection of defective drugs can also result in wrongful death .


Like other product-related injuries , side effects from defective drugs can result from negligence or oversight at multiple different levels in the chain of distribution. From research and development, to manufacture, to shipment, to storage, to sale, to prescription and administration, there is any number of combined or stand-alone mistakes and lapses in judgment that can lead a defective drug to cause you serious injury.


Inadequate Warning Labels and Failure to Recall Dangerous Drugs


While many drug defect personal injury and wrongful death cases center around problems with a drug itself, our lawyers also regularly assert claims relating to manufacturers’ and distributors’ actions once the drug has been approved for market. This class of claims specifically includes: (i) failure to include proper warnings on packaging and prescription labels, and (ii) failure to recall defective drugs or pull dangerous drugs off the shelves once a defect is discovered.


The professionals and staff at our Milwaukee firm track drug recalls and work closely with a team of trusted medical experts to determine when a drug’s warning labels may be defective. If you are experiencing symptoms after starting on a prescription drug regimen, we can help you determine whether you have a possible claim for damages.
