What if a defective drug has already been recalled?

If a defective drug has already been recalled in Florida, then the first step is to seek medical attention if you believe you have been injured as a result of taking the drug. A defective drug injury law provides the legal framework to protect the rights of those who have been injured by a defective drug or medical device. In Florida, the statute of limitations for filing a claim is limited to four years from the date of the injury, or two years from the date of discovery of the injury, whichever is earlier. If a defective drug has already been recalled, you may still need to consult with an attorney to see if the defect was known before you were injured. If you have been injured by a defective drug, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages. There is no guarantee your case will be successful but it may be worth pursuing. In some cases, you can also seek punitive damages. It is important to remember that filing a lawsuit against a drug manufacturer does not necessarily mean a trial; cases are often settled out of court. An experienced defective drug injury attorney can help consult and advise you on the best legal course of action to seek compensation for your injury.
