Every day, we use products in our home and workplace with the expectation that those products are safe—or they would not be on the market. Unfortunately, that is not always true.
Worse still, the drugs that our doctors prescribe for us sometimes make people ill or lead to an early death. Even though pharmaceutical companies are required by law to test their products before they enter the marketplace, there have been cases where proper testing was not done, the results were concealed, or drug companies did not tell the truth about what they knew and when.
Putting profit before the health of consumers is wrong. At Shannon Law Firm, our injury attorneys work hard to get justice and financial compensation for injured people and families who have lost loved ones due to a defective product or a bad drug. If you or a loved one was injured, contact our law office from anywhere in the U.S. or the world.
When we work with clients in other countries—for example, Venezuela, Brazil, or Mexico—or in the U.S. Virgin Islands or states other than Mississippi, we work as co-counsel with a local attorney. Those lawyers choose to work with our firm because of our many years of experience and our reputation for quality service. We truly are a Mississippi law firm with a global reputation.
Defective product and dangerous drug lawsuits do result in changes to company policies and standards. Sometimes a lawsuit is the only way to get bad drugs or dangerous products off the market.
A car, truck, or motorcycle accident may be caused by a defective auto part or an unreasonably dangerous road condition. For example, defective or poorly designed braking systems and faulty tires have been responsible for accidents. Defective airbags or faulty seat belts have caused injury or contributed to the seriousness of the injuries.
We have represented clients nationwide who took drugs that damaged their health, such as, Fen-Phen, Pondimin®, Redux®, and Propulsid®. We also represent injured people in claims against drug companies for failing to warn about serious side effects.
Our personal injury lawyers represent workers and family members who developed Mesothelioma or other cancers after being exposed to asbestos fibers. In particular, our attorneys represent mechanics, brake workers, boiler makers, welders, electricians, carpenters, pipe fitters, brick layers, laborers, steel workers, insulators, and sheet metal workers who were exposed to asbestos prior to 1976.
Cancers caused by asbestos exposure include Mesothelioma, lung cancer, bronchial cancer, esophageal cancer, bladder cancer, and colon cancer. Mechanics, brake workers, and others may have claims against the manufacturers and distributors of the asbestos-containing friction products.
Welding smoke can contain manganese. Repeated exposure to manganese can cause Parkinson's Disease. Welders, welders' helpers, and others who have a history of prolonged exposure to welding smoke may have claims against the manufacturers and distributors of manganese-containing welding products
