Can I bring a defective drug injury claim if the drug is no longer on the market?

Yes, you can bring a defective drug injury claim if the drug is no longer on the market. In Washington State, drug manufacturers are held liable for any defective drugs that cause injuries, regardless of whether the drug is still on the market. This is based on a legal principle known as “strict liability” which holds drug companies liable for any injuries caused by their products — regardless of whether the company followed all safety regulations or if a warning label was present. This means that regardless of whether the drug is still on the market, individuals may still bring a claim for an injury caused by a defective drug. In a defective drug injury claim in the state of Washington, the injured individual must prove that the drug was defective, that it was the cause of their injury, and that they suffered damages. If successful, the injured person may receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you believe you or a loved one have been injured by a defective drug, it is important to seek legal advice. An experienced attorney can help you understand your rights, navigate the legal system, and receive the compensation you may be entitled to.
