Understanding Drug Injuries
When unsafe medications reach the market—whether due to rushed approvals, poor testing, or misleading marketing—they can cause serious physical, emotional, and even financial harm. Drug injuries typically stem from prescription or over-the-counter medications that are defective, dangerous, or promoted without proper warnings. Common causes include:
- Undisclosed side effects: Some drugs are sold without full disclosure of known or suspected health risks.
- Defective manufacturing: Contamination during production or improper dosage levels can make an otherwise safe drug harmful.
- Inadequate warnings or labeling: Failure to communicate proper dosage, contraindications, or interactions can lead to serious harm.
- Aggressive or misleading marketing: Drugs pushed for off-label use or promoted to inappropriate patient populations may increase the risk of injury.
Drug injury cases are typically part of product liability law, where drug manufacturers, distributors, and sometimes even prescribers may be held accountable. Some cases also become part of mass tort or multidistrict litigation (MDL) when injuries affect many people across the country.
These lawsuits are not just about compensation. They also aim to improve drug safety standards, hold powerful pharmaceutical companies accountable, and help prevent future harm to others.
If you believe your injury is connected to a medication you were prescribed or purchased, you're not alone. Take the first step and contact an Anderson defective drug lawyer for a free consultation.
Dangerous Drugs Linked to Lawsuits
During our 50 years serving Anderson, we’ve seen many different prescriptions harm families and individuals. More than a few prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs have been linked to serious side effects and injuries, prompting legal action throughout Indiana and across the United States. If you took one of the following medications and experienced harmful outcomes, you may be eligible to join an existing lawsuit or pursue your own drug injury lawsuit.
Medications Currently Under Scrutiny
- Ozempic: Used for diabetes and weight loss, Ozempic has been linked to severe gastrointestinal conditions, including gastroparesis (paralyzed stomach) and persistent nausea or vomiting.
- Suboxone: Intended to help treat opioid addiction, Suboxone is now the subject of lawsuits for causing severe tooth decay, tooth loss, and oral infections even with proper use.
- Xeljanz: Prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions, Xeljanz has been associated with an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, and certain cancers.
- Tepezza: A treatment for thyroid eye disease, Tepezza has been linked to permanent hearing loss and tinnitus, despite initial studies suggesting side effects were temporary.
These drugs are involved in active mass tort litigation, and the list continues to grow. Our firm is monitoring other medications currently under FDA investigation or with new warning labels issued.
Why This Matters
Many drug companies release products before fully understanding long-term effects, and some fail to act quickly when problems arise. Lawsuits aren’t just about securing compensation; they drive transparency, promote safer testing protocols, and push for stronger labeling.
If you're unsure whether your medication qualifies, we can help. Contact our Anderson attorneys today to find out if your case meets the current criteria for legal action.

How Do I Know If I Have a Case?
If you're asking this question, you're already taking the right first step. Here are the most common signs you may have a valid drug injury lawsuit:
You must have taken the medication in question, whether it was prescribed by a doctor or purchased directly from a pharmacy.
Examples include:
- Severe gastrointestinal issues
- Organ damage
- Heart attack or stroke
- Blood clots
- Permanent hearing loss
- Tooth decay
- Hormonal side effects or disfigurement
The symptoms you experienced should be significant, disruptive, and medically documented. All of this creates important evidence.
A key part of your case is medical causation; in other words, you must prove that the drug was the cause of your injury. Our team of Anderson drug injury attorneys works with experts to analyze your health records, prescriptions, and scientific evidence to establish a connection.
Drug manufacturers are required to disclose known risks and side effects. If these warnings were buried, misleading, or altogether missing, they may be held accountable.
In Indiana, most drug injury claims must be filed within 2 years from the date you first started taking the medication. Additionally, under Indiana Code § 34-20-3-1, no claim can be filed more than 10 years after the product first entered the stream of commerce, no matter when the harm was discovered. These deadlines can be complex, so it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and strengthen your case.

What Compensation Can I Recover?
Drug injuries can result in enormous physical, emotional, and financial consequences. If you’ve been harmed by a dangerous medication, you may be entitled to compensation that goes beyond basic medical bills.
Here are the most common types of compensation we pursue for clients in drug injury cases:
- Emergency room visits
- Hospital stays and surgeries
- Specialist consultations
- Medications and ongoing treatment
- Future medical care or rehabilitation
We’ll calculate both past and anticipated future costs to help ensure you're not left footing the bill for someone else's negligence.
- Time missed from work while recovering
- Lost income due to job changes or reduced responsibilities
- Diminished ability to earn a living in the future if your condition is long-term
This refers to the physical pain and emotional distress you’ve endured due to your injury. While harder to quantify, pain and suffering can make up a significant portion of what your lawsuit is worth.
Some injuries drastically change the way you live—limiting hobbies, social activities, or family engagement. If your lifestyle has been disrupted by your condition, you may be entitled to compensation for that loss.
Every drug injury case is different, and the value of your lawsuit depends on your specific circumstances. That’s why we start with a free consultation to learn your story, review your records, and map out what compensation you may deserve.
We fight to maximize your compensation—and you don’t pay unless we win.
