Be honest and transparent with your doctor. Give the doctor a list of the medications you are taking. Tell them when you started taking the drugs and the first time you noticed side effects. Transparency helps a medical professional determine whether side effects result from defective drugs.
Saving Proper Documentation
Here’s a list of items to keep safe for your legal case:
- Medical prescriptions

Liability for Your Injuries
A prescribed drug should make you feel better after a few hours or days. However, in cases where the medication causes injuries or physical side effects, a few parties may be liable.

- A doctor’s negligence may be to blame for drug injuries and side effects. Your doctor’s medical prescription should be safe and verified. A doctor that filled out your drug prescription is liable for the damages and side effects due to their lack of diligence on any drug recommended and administered by their order.
If the above parties are not liable for your damages, your defective drugs lawyer will work to determine liability and subsequently pursue them for compensation.
