From time to time, pharmaceutical drugs with dangerous and sometimes deadly side effects enter the marketplace because their potential risks were not properly anticipated during clinical research trials. These types of drugs are closely monitored by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration), a governmental agency charged with protecting the public welfare with respect to food and drug products that are made available to consumers.

The FDA accomplishes this charge in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, issuing alerts about certain drugs, mandating the publication of warnings with regards to certain drugs, and in some instances, initiating full recalls of certain drugs. Whatever action the FDA deems necessary, it does not change the fact that these types of drugs often times cause harm and/or injury to the individuals who took them, and when these individuals look to be made whole for the damages they have suffered, litigation often emerges as a primary course of action for most victims.
