Drug product liability
The solicitors at SheridanLaw have specialist expertise in bringing drug product liability claims.
SheridanLaw Solicitors is one of six lead firms of solicitors that acted for thousands of claimants in their pursuit of damages for injuries suffered from the anti-arthritic drug "Opren". This was one of the first successful "class action" drug liability claims to proceed in England and result in a compensation agreement.
In association with US based lawyers, SheridanLaw successfully obtained damages for personal injury caused to women by the contraceptive device "Dalkon Sheild".
As a result of the considerable experience and knowledge gained through the Opren and Dalkon Shield cases and other drug product liability claims, SheridanLaw’s lawyers are well placed to investigate any claim for the negative effects of a prescribed or over-the-counter drug or product and, where there is evidence in support, pursue claims for compensation.
Various funding options are available depending on your personal circumstances and where proceedings are to be issued. These include legal fees insurance, conditional fee agreements ("no win, no fee") and private funding for proceedings in England, and contingency fees (a percentage of the damages) for proceedings in America.
