Dangerous & Defective Drug Claims
Call an Oceanside Personal Injury Lawyer if You've Been Harmed
When a doctor prescribes medicine for us, we expect that it will make us feel better, not worse. However, sometimes medicines cause terrible side effects resulting in illness, injury, or death. If this has happened to you or a family member, you may be entitled to compensation.
At the Kohn Law Office, we have decades of experience helping people recover compensation after an injury or the wrongful death of a loved one. Oceanside personal injury lawyer Russell Kohn understands the devastating effects of a defective drug or birth control defect.
If you've been hurt, you may be entitled to file a claim.

Drugs That Can Cause Injury
Although new medicines undergo testing and must receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they may still cause unwanted side effects. The drug's manufacturer has a duty to inform medical personnel and the public about possible side effects. However, whether due to incomplete testing or lack of warning, prescription drugs sometimes injure or even kill patients.
Over-the-counter drugs may or may not have obtained FDA approval. Cold remedies, non-narcotic painkillers, and weight loss drugs are examples of over-the-counter drugs.
Kohn Law Office can help you if you have been injured by side effects of the following drugs:
- NuvaRing — An increased risk of blood clots, stroke, heart attack, organ damage and pulmonary embolism
- Zicam — Loss of sense of smell and partial loss of sense of taste
- Zometa — Osteonecrosis of the jaw or “dead jaw”
- Hydroxycut — Liver problems, liver failure, seizures, cardiovascular problems and muscle damage
