Negligent Pharmaceutical Companies
We handle claims against pharmaceutical companies that sell dangerous drugs or medical devices that have caused serious injury or death. The manufacturer of a dangerous or defective product may be held liable for financial damages through a products liability lawsuit. Our attorneys have the experience and resources to effectively handle complex products liability claims.
Pharmacy Negligence
Pharmacy employees have a duty to use reasonable care for the safety of their customers. If you or a loved one has been injured because a pharmacy gave you the wrong prescription, improperly filled your prescription or gave you a prescription that caused severe injury or death, contact the personal injury attorneys at De Jong Law Group in Chicago to learn more about your legal remedies.
Doctor, Nurse, Hospital Negligence
Medication errors occur at hospitals, emergency rooms and doctors' offices. These errors may happen when a doctor, nurse or other medical care professional fails to prescribe or administer the right type or amount of a medication, fails to properly read a patient's chart, fails to consider the impact a medication may have if a patient is on some other medication, or for other reasons.
