Who’s Responsible for Drug Defects? 

First, you need to know what caused your injuries, so you know where to turn and whom to file a claim against. In a drug defect case, it often depends on how the drug was defective. 

For example, although the quality of the drug might have been fine, someone made a mistake with your medication. Your doctor might have prescribed the wrong medication or dosage; or the pharmacist filled your prescription incorrectly. Either of these people may be deemed the responsible party. 

In some cases, though, there was something wrong with the drug itself. Defective products, unlisted effects, or even severe side effects, may be grounds to sue the manufacturer. Fortunately, your defective drug attorney can review the details for your claim and help you recover. 

Texas Laws on Your Claim

Although you may have determined the responsible party, you might still need to protect your claim. The defense won’t want to pay for your recovery, which means they may fight to reduce or dismiss your compensation. That leaves you with the bill for your losses. 

For example, you will need to act quickly to protect your claim. In Texas, you’ll only have two years to file a claim. If you don’t act on time, your claim could be dismissed, which leaves you without compensation for your recovery. 

Although it may be difficult for them to claim you were at fault for their mistake, they may try to pin part of the fault on you. For example, they may claim you took the wrong dose or didn’t listen to instructions. If you accept part of the blame for your injuries, though, your compensation may be reduced by that amount of fault. If you’re blamed for more than half the case, your claim could be dismissed.
