Why You Need a Drug Injury Attorney

When a medication causes harm, the hardest part is often proving it. Drug companies and insurers don’t usually admit fault. They look for other explanations, question your medical history, and try to make the side effects sound expected or unrelated.

We build the story using real evidence, your records, the timing of symptoms, pharmacy and prescribing details, and what changed after you started (or stopped) the drug. We handle the calls, deadlines, and everything else so you don’t have to argue with adjusters or get pushed into a low offer. If the other side won’t deal fairly, we’re ready to press the case further.

Information

Common Causes of Drug Injuries

Defective drug design

The drug may be unsafe even when it’s produced correctly and taken the right way.

Dangerous side effects not disclosed

Serious risks aren’t clearly shared with patients or doctors.

Manufacturing defects

Something goes wrong during the production process, so a batch comes out unsafe.

Contamination during production

The drug gets mixed with something it shouldn’t during manufacturing or packaging.

Improper drug testing

The drug isn’t tested enough to catch certain risks before it’s sold.

Misleading marketing or advertising

The drug is promoted in a way that downplays real dangers.

Incorrect dosage instructions

The directions are unclear or wrong, leading to unsafe dosing.

Failure to warn about risks

Known warnings aren’t properly communicated, so people can’t make informed choices.

Information

Common Injuries Caused by Dangerous Drugs

Organ damage (liver or kidney failure). Some drugs can harm organs over time or even trigger sudden failure.
Heart complications. Medications may cause irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure issues, or other cardiac problems.
Blood clots. Certain drugs can increase the risk, which may cause serious events like stroke or pulmonary embolism.
Severe allergic reactions. Reactions can include swelling, trouble breathing, and anaphylaxis, which requires emergency care.
Neurological damage. Some people develop nerve problems, seizures, confusion, or lasting changes in memory.
Internal bleeding. A drug may raise bleeding risk, especially when combined with other medications.
Congenital disabilities. Some medications can harm a developing fetus if taken during pregnancy.
Long-term health complications. Ongoing symptoms, chronic pain, or permanent limitations can remain even after stopping the drug.

Information

Who May Be Liable for a Drug Injury?

Drug manufacturer. The company that designed and made the medication.
Parent company. A larger corporation that owns or controls the brand.
Contract manufacturer. A third-party facility that produced the drug or a specific batch of the drug.
Distributor or wholesaler. A company that supplied the drug through the chain.
Pharmacy. If the wrong medication, wrong dose, or wrong instructions were provided.
Packaging or labeling companies. If labeling, warnings, or inserts were incorrect or missing.
Sales/marketing parties. If risks were downplayed or marketing was misleading.
Drug testing labs. If testing errors, falsified results, or dishonest trial practices played a role in a dangerous drug reaching the market.
Hospitals, clinics, or doctors. If a provider gave incorrect information about side effects, missed key warnings, or failed to prescribe/monitor safely in your situation.

What to Do If You Suffered a Drug Injury

1. Get Medical Help Right Away

Your health is a priority, and you want your symptoms and treatment documented.

2. Stop the Drug Only With Medical Advice

Don’t change or stop medication on your own unless a doctor tells you to, since it may cause even more issues.

3. Save the Evidence

Keep the bottle/packaging, pharmacy label, inserts, receipts, and any remaining pills. Take photos of everything.

4. Document the Timeline of Your Issues

Note when you started the drug, dose changes, when symptoms began, and what improved or got worse.

5. Gather Records

Request medical records, pharmacy records, and any lab results related to the injury.

6. Avoid Signing Anything

Don’t sign releases or give recorded statements to insurers or company reps.

7. Contact Our Drug Injury Attorney

We can review what happened and protect your claim while you focus on getting better.

I was by myself when a driver ran a red light and hit me. I was too dazed to ask any questions or get information at the scene, and I was worried about my injuries. My first conversation with Brent immediately put me at ease. He got me in touch with doctors that helped me for months to feel better and he took care of my case from start to finish. He truly cared about getting me back to normal and taking care of me. I was impressed at his competence investigating the accident to prove the other driver was at fault and negotiating with the insurance company. I’m happy with the outcome of my case, but more importantly, I’m happy that Brent and his team have heart, compassion, and empathy and care about their clients beyond a settlement.

I never expected how much your life can change in instant! My life turned upside down from being hit in an accident.
I was lost, in pain and and had no one
to turn to.
Attorney Brent Rawlings and his team came to my rescue and assured me that they would do everything possible to get the support and assistance I needed at this difficult time in my life.
I am so thankful for everything they did so that I could receive a settlement that was fair and just for everything I’ve been through.
Thank you Attorney Brent Rawlings and Cami
for your patience, fight and determination
I am blessed to have you as my support team

I was in an accident with my son last year, and Brent Rawlings was amazing. Him and his team (Cami and Juan) kept me updated throughout the entire process. I’ve never had to go through anything like this before so they were very helpful. They were able to get me the max amount available through the insurances, and made sure that we were both ok physically and emotionally.
Highly recommend. If for some reason, I ever need another Personal Injury Lawyer, I will be back.

It’s very simple. Brent wins. An Utmost professional attorney and team. Attentive and responsive. Brent listens to you, gives you his honest opinion and fights for what you are asking for. He is incredibly smart and a beast in litigation. When showtime came, I was completely impressed by how he presented my case and how he never backed down and how ultimately he got what I wanted. He took on my case when others did not. And he won for me. His paralegal Cami, a gem. Always pleasant, professional, responsive and clear with information and instruction. A Solid, effective and winning team. Brent never let me down. I am completely thankful and have tremendous respect for Brent who believed in me, fought for me and righted a wrong. You are a blessing to humanity. May an abundance of wronged people in this world flock to you and your team so that you can continue to win big for them and right their wrongs. God Bless.

We were referred to Attorney Brent Rawlings from our chiropractor after our accident. Cami was the one who supported our case and made sure we had everything we needed. She would go far and beyond to make sure we only had to care about healing post-accident. Our case was able to close on less than 6 months! I am very thankful for Cami and Attorney Rawlings for all their work.

At the end of May, my girlfriend and I were rear-ended on the freeway. We were injured and felt lost, as it was the first time we had ever experienced such a serious accident. After doing a lot of research, we finally reached out to Mr. Rawlings and his team. They handled our situation with great efficiency and professionalism, which immediately earned our trust.
I would like to especially thank Cami, who was incredibly helpful. She explained every step of the process from A to Z and kept us updated on our case almost every other week for several months. I’m truly grateful for how they managed and ultimately settled our case.
To conclude, Mr Rawlings is an amazing person to discuss with !

I want to take a moment to sincerely thank The Law Office Brent D. Rawlings for assisting me with my accident case. Your professionalism and dedication gave me peace of mind during a very stressful time.
I also want to give special recognition to your assistant, Cami. She went above and beyond, always answering my calls and texts, even at times when I thought she should have been resting. Her kindness, patience, and responsiveness made this entire process so much easier for me. Thank you, Joy Sims Pigeon

Brent Rawlings is one of the best attorneys I’ve ever had. He guided me step by step through the entire process and made sure I understood everything along the way. After my car accident, he handled my case with professionalism, care, and dedication. I truly appreciate all of his help and support. I highly recommend him — 100%!

I was referred to Mr. Rawlings by another attorney after he felt that Mr. Rawlings’ firm would be best suited for my case. Prior to contacting Mr. Rawlings, I was told that my case-a rental car malfunctioning issue that caused painful burn wounds to my arm and almost missed maiming my wife and I—wasn’t strong. Mr. Rawlings and his staff agreed to take up my case and patiently navigated all the challenges and intimately got me a settlement from a major car rental chain. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Compensation is not everything and it does not erase the pain and suffering. But how your case should be handled to get a desired reasonable and favorable outcome is what I was impressed with Mr. Rawlings. I highly recommend him.

This right here is the way you treat your clients after having such a bad experience with my former attorney, Brett along with his assistant have made this so painless he took a chance on me when there was nobody that would and I’m so glad I found him when I did I had almost lost hope! But with his kindness and guidance I was able to settle for my car accident and he has just been an all over nice guy it’s hard to find anyone as genuine as him and his team!!! If your looking for someone to help you through your case please contact if you want it to be painless please contact if you want someone who cares about his clients please contact you will not regret picking him to fight for you … thank you Brett and team for doing this in a timely manner and cleaning up the mess that the former attorney made I know it was not fun but you are appreciated

Brent was very helpful despite the complicated circumstances of my case and the tight deadlines that we had, but despite all of the issues he still came through with getting me SOMETHING to show for years of mental hardship and financial stress. Even though we didn’t get as much as we hoped, Brent definitely helped me more than any lawyer I had worked with before and I definitely recommend Brent if you want someone who will keep you in the loop.
Cami/Maria the paralegal was also amazing and so helpful with explaining everything!

What an amazing trusting team Brent and Cami!!! I had an incident in California and I live in Montana. I’ve never met either of them but their professionalism was amazing. The communication and actually feeling like they cared was beyond my expectations. I was more than a client I was a person. I would recommend them to anyone seeking legal counsel for a personal injury. I hope one day to meet them both in person to thank them personally. Thank you so much Brent and Cami.

Brent and Cami are absolute sharks and relentless advocates who fight tirelessly on your behalf. From start to finish, their legal team made me feel like a human being, not just another case. They took the time to truly understand me and my family, which brought a personal touch to their already exceptional expertise.

Throughout the entire process, they were absolute superstars in communication—always keeping me informed and ensuring I understood every step. Their dedication and compassion are unmatched, and I genuinely feel like I’ve gained lifelong friends in the process.

Although I hope I never require legal support again, I am thrilled to have Brent and Cami as a resource for the future. If you’re looking for a legal team that is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about you as a person, I cannot recommend Brent and Cami highly enough.

Can not say enough accolades about Brent and Cami. Both have been very professional, attentive, and so caring regarding my wife Rosette’s PI case. Through the years, we’ve had several attorneys representing us, but none, except for Brent, would call on weekends to just talk.
Never in a million years did I ever expect we would be awarded the maximum amount from our insurance policy. But somehow Brent accomplished the impossible, and for that, we are beyond grateful. Continued success to you Brent, you’re simply the best!!!

Normary P.

Highly recommend calling Brent!! I got into an accident about 2 weeks ago, and Brent has been providing the best guidance and helping so much in dealing with my insurance. He’s extremely responsive, always professional, and follows through on everything he says. Brent helps make a stressful situation feel a lot more manageable. Thanks for all of your help, Brent!!

How to File a Drug Injury Claim in California

Filing a drug injury claim is mainly about proving three things: what you took, when you took it, and how it caused harm. That starts with pulling the right records and building a clear timeline that matches your medical treatment.

A claim usually involves gathering medical records, pharmacy records, prescription details, the drug label and warnings, and any test results that show what changed after you started the medication. From there, we identify who may be responsible, including the manufacturer, a distributor, a testing lab, or others in the supply chain. Then we present a demand that covers the full extent of the damage, including future care and lost income, not just the first bills.

Get a drug injury lawyer early. These cases are technical, and one mistake with evidence, statements, or deadlines can cost you a lot, sometimes your entire case.

FAQs About Drug Injury Lawyer Services

If you’re thinking about working with a lawyer, it’s important that you find the right one.

How Can a Drug Injury Lawyer Help Me?

A drug injury lawyer helps connect the dots between the medication and your injury using records, then handles communication with the drug company and insurers. We also protect you from traps like recorded statements or signing releases, and fight for compensation that covers the real cost of what happened.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Pharmaceutical Injury?

Responsibility may fall on the drug maker, a contract manufacturer, a distributor, a testing lab, or a pharmacy, depending on what went wrong. In some cases, a healthcare provider can also share fault if the drug was prescribed, explained, or monitored unsafely.

What Should I Do If I Experience Severe Drug Side Effects?

Get medical help right away, especially if you have trouble breathing, chest pain, severe swelling, heavy bleeding, fainting, or confusion. Keep the medication bottle/packaging and contact us before giving statements or signing anything.

How Long Do I Have to File a Drug Injury Claim in California?

In most California drug injury cases, you have 2 years to file a lawsuit. If you didn’t know (and couldn’t reasonably know) the drug caused the harm right away, the deadline may start when you discover the injury and its cause, and if a government clinic/hospital is involved, you may have only 6 months to file a government claim first. Get a pharmaceutical injury lawyer to avoid missing deadlines.

What Compensation Can I Recover in a Pharmaceutical Injury Case?

You may be able to recover money for medical care (including future treatment), lost income, and pain and suffering. If the injury causes long-term problems, compensation can also cover ongoing care and reduced ability to work, and in fatal cases, the family may pursue wrongful death damages.
