Defective Drugs and Devices

Class Action Attorneys Whittel & Melton

Large corporations can face class action lawsuits. These happen when a company’s practices or products harm a group of people. This can include defective drugs and medical devices. Sometimes, thousands of people are involved. In a class action, a few people file a lawsuit on behalf of everyone. This allows people who couldn’t afford to sue on their own to take on big companies. It holds these companies accountable for their wrongful actions.

Class-action lawsuits show the power of working together. When a product harms many people, they can file a case together. This way, they can address the harm they’ve all faced. In a class action, having a team of lawyers experienced with the process is very helpful. At Whittel & Melton, we begin by gathering evidence.

Dangerous Drugs and Recalls

A manufacturer issues a drug recall when it removes a prescription or over-the-counter medicine from the market. This occurs due to potential harm to consumers or product defects. In some cases, the company discovers a problem and voluntarily recalls the drug. Other times, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) orders the recall. Drug recalls help prevent more people from being hurt by dangerous products.

However, some people have already suffered injuries or illnesses from recalled drugs. These people can take legal action. They can file personal injury claims against the pharmaceutical companies.

If you took a recalled drug or were injured by a medication that was later recalled, we can help you. Our Florida defective drugs and medical devices lawyers at Whittel & Melton will fight for your right to fair compensation.

Medical Device Recalls and Defects

Medical device manufacturers are responsible for injuries and deaths caused by their products to patients. If you suffered harm directly linked to a medical device, we can pursue a claim on your behalf individually or help you join an established class action.

Our Class Action Attorneys at Whittel & Melton have filed numerous lawsuits against manufacturers of defective products. As manufacturers introduce more medical devices to the market, they will continue to produce faulty devices, putting consumers at risk. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury related to a recalled medical device, we would like to discuss your case with you and develop a plan of action to effectively represent your interests.

Defective Products

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, estimates that almost 30 million people are injured as a result of defective drugs and medical devices. When product manufacturers and designers place unsafe products on the market, the general public can suffer serious harm. In some cases, manufacturers were aware of defects and design flaws in their products, but they chose to conceal this information to maximize their profits. If a defective product harmed you, you could have the grounds for a defective product class action lawsuit.

Vehicle Defects and Recalls

Millions of Americans rely on their vehicles to transport them safely to and from their daily destinations. Sadly, some vehicles on the road are equipped with serious defects before they even leave the factory. These defects can cause serious accidents and result in personal injuries or deaths. Once manufacturers discover any defects, they should issue vehicle recalls. Those who have been injured in accidents due to defective vehicles can file vehicle recall lawsuits.

Most vehicle recall and defects involve issues with the following:

• Steering components
• Airbag deployment systems
• Ignition switches
• Seat belts
• Electrical systems
• Tires and wheels

Our Class Action Attorneys at Whittel & Melton are currently pursuing several lawsuits on behalf of clients who have been injured due to a recall or announcement.

Consumer Fraud

Consumer fraud involves unfair or deceptive business practices by companies profiting illegally at the expense of consumers. This can happen when a company uses high-pressure or deceptive sales tactics, misrepresents or lies about its capabilities, functioning, or quality of a product or service, offers one product but deliver another also known as “bait and switch”, uses fine print to defraud consumers, improperly bills for a product or service, and much more.

Our Class Action Attorneys at Whittel & Melton are devoted to protecting consumers’ rights and keeping them from falling victim to deceitful business practices. If you have been a victim of consumer fraud, we can help you seek financial compensation for your losses.
