Filing a Product Liability Case Against Manufacturers

In most instances drug side effect lawsuits are based on a product liability cause of action. Defective product cases can be proven by three different methods. 1. Defect in the original R&D research and design of the drug. 2. Defect in the manufacturing process of the drug resulting in an increase in its potential harm. 3. Labeling defect or failure to properly warn consumers of all known and knowable dangers associated with its use.

Wrongful Death Claim Against Pharmaceutical Companies 

Sadly in some instance the side effects of benicar can be so detrimental so as to lead to the death of the individual. In most jurisdictions in the United States certain relatives of the deceased are able to file a wrongful death cause of action against the manufacturers and distributors of the defective pharmaceutical medication.
