      “

      “Highly Recommended” is the epitome of an understatement when it comes to the firm of McDonald At Law!! Michael McDonald’s genuine pleasant, and empathetic demeanor masks his legal astuteness, and the level of aggressiveness he implements in pursuit of a victim’s right and the monetary compensation legally entitled to us. I was involved in a motor vehicle accident at the hands of an intoxicated driver in York County. In my case I suffered what I described as an atypical injury, Mr. McDonald offered to be my Lawyer immediately after explaining to him the events leading to and after being struck in turn causing me to have a heart attack, when another law firm seemed hesitant. McDonald At Law secured a sizable monetary compensation that not only met my expectation but exceeded it. Mr. McDonald’s wealth of experience, and legal prowess is priceless and never did he act as the case was beneath his practice. In the end my family and I were well compensated, but also felt justified. Thank you McDonald At Law!!

      Back in 2014 I was injured didn’t know what to do but my wife suggested I call Mike McDonald at law I’m not going to say that I really believe in luck but I will say it was the greatest blessing of my entire life that I had the opportunity to pick the best lawyer in Pennsylvania and maybe all of America in Mike McDonald. I needed surgery and Mike came to my home just to make sure that I was OK personally, and he told me not to worry about anything but to just get well he really cares about people and that is something you can’t pay for. Mike’s firm was the most professional operation I have ever had the opportunity to witness over the last 3 1/2 years . All I can say is this if you’ve been injured and you need help there’s only one person that you should call and that’s McDonald at law. From my experience is that when I arrived at his office the first time I met a lawyer and when I left his office the last time I felt like I had a friend. For superior service and expert litigation, remember there’s only one number to call if you ever get hurt it’s McDonald at law.

      Common Side Effects

      Defective medications can lead to a wide range of unforeseen harmful side effects that could be the basis for a dangerous drugs lawsuit. Some of the most common ailments include:

      • Sudden and uncontrollable bleeding
      • Depression
      • Blurry vision and dizziness
      • Loss of appetite, diarrhea, or vomiting
      • Cancer
      • Loss of organ or organ function
      • Skin conditions
      • Uncontrollable weight gain or loss
      • Death

      These side effects and many more may result from a drug company’s failure to properly manufacture drugs or design them safely. A qualified attorney in Lancaster could help an injured plaintiff seek financial compensation in a dangerous drug case.

      When Drug Companies are Negligent

      Manufacturers of drugs are required to design safe products that achieve their intended purpose, and they are expected to warn consumers of any known side effects. Side effects are common in medications and are permitted as long as the consumer is warned of their existence. When a patient is aware of a drug’s risks, they decide whether or not to take it. When that choice is not offered by a negligent or dishonest drug company that falsifies data or hides crucial information, the injuries the plaintiff may suffer can be severe.

      Companies can also be negligent in the way they design or manufacture the drug. Design defects occur during the drug’s planning process. Even if the drug is made exactly as it is supposed to, it is inherently dangerous. In other cases, the a drug that would otherwise be a safely designed medication is made dangerous by improper manufacturing, unsanitary conditions, or other influences.

      Is a Recall of the Drug Necessary for a Dangerous Drug Lawsuit?

      A recall of a medication does not need to occur before an injured party can file a lawsuit.  Just because a drug has not been recalled does not mean that it is not dangerous. Authorities may not have recalled it yet, or a recall may not be necessary after certain fixes. Because of these reasons, in any instance that negligence occurs and people are injured, a lawsuit for a dangerous drug could be appropriate.

      Considerable financial compensation may result from a successful dangerous drug lawsuit. Every case is different, and a plaintiff could benefit from consulting a McDonald At Law attorney regarding the unique circumstances of their defective drug claim.
