Pharmaceutical Injury Claims | LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY

A drug prescribed to help you should not make you worse.

When a pharmaceutical injury occurs, the cause is rarely obvious and the path to accountability requires scientific knowledge most attorneys do not have. That is not a marketing claim. It is a genuine differentiator in cases involving drug injuries, medication errors, dangerous drug interactions, and pharmaceutical product liability. Hance & Srinivasan is one of the few firms in Kentucky where that depth exists.

Pharmaceutical Injury Claims Overview

Hance & Srinivasan knows how to secure the appropriate experts so your case gets the analysis it deserves.

When a medication causes serious harm, the connection is not always obvious. A drug interaction that produces a cardiac event may be attributed to the underlying heart condition. A dosing error that causes organ damage may be attributed to disease progression. A drug prescribed outside its approved indication that causes serious side effects may be dismissed as an unfortunate response. Identifying pharmaceutical injury as the cause and tracing it to a prescriber’s error, a pharmacist’s mistake, or a manufacturer’s failure to adequately warn requires scientific analysis most attorneys are not equipped to perform independently.

“When we look at a pharmaceutical case, We are reading the science, not just the record. That changes what we find, and what we can prove.”

Chandrika Srinivasan

Know Your Pharmaceutical Injury Claims Rights

Pharmaceutical injury claims in plain language.

Pharmaceutical injury claims are time sensitive. The sooner you contact an attorney to evaluate the claim, the more options you have.

Your Right to Hold Prescribers Accountable for Medication Errors.

A prescribing physician owes patients a duty to prescribe medications consistent with the standard of care for their specialty. This includes evaluating contraindications, checking for known drug interactions, disclosing material risks to the patient, and monitoring for adverse effects after prescribing.

Your Right to Hold Manufacturers Accountable for Inadequate Warnings.

When a manufacturer fails to provide adequate warnings about known risks to prescribers, and a patient is harmed by a risk that was not disclosed, a failure to warn products liability claim may exist against the manufacturer.

Pharmaceutical Injury Claims Questions

  • A viable pharmaceutical injury claim requires evidence either that the prescribing decision fell below the standard of care, that the drug was improperly dispensed, or that the manufacturer failed to adequately warn of the risk that caused your injury.

  • A prescribing physician is responsible for checking drug interactions when prescribing new medications to a patient who is already on other drugs. Known drug interactions are documented in prescribing references and electronic health records systems. If a prescriber ignored a known interaction warning or failed to review the patient’s medication list before prescribing, that failure may constitute malpractice.

  • A pharmacist’s error in dispensing the wrong drug, the wrong dose, or the wrong form of a medication is a separate and independent basis for a malpractice claim against the pharmacist and the pharmacy.

  • Yes, if the manufacturer failed to adequately warn of a known risk that your prescriber was not informed of. Kentucky product liability law permits claims against manufacturers for design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn.

  • You may recover all medical expenses associated with treatment of the drug injury, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in fatal cases, wrongful death damages.
