Dangerous & Defective Drugs & Devices
Protecting Your Rights and Safety
In our modern world, pharmaceuticals and medical devices play a critical role in healthcare, helping patients manage medical conditions and improve their quality of life. However, when these products are dangerous or defective, the consequences can be devastating. At Smith Mullins Injury Law, with locations in Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky, we specialize in representing individuals harmed by dangerous drugs and defective medical devices, seeking justice, accountability, and compensation on their behalf.
Understanding Dangerous & Defective Drugs and Devices
The pharmaceutical and medical device industries are vast, producing a wide range of products designed to treat various medical conditions. Unfortunately, not all of these products are safe, and some may have unforeseen risks or defects. When patients suffer harm as a result, it becomes a matter of product liability law, where manufacturers, distributors, and sellers can be held responsible.

Types of Cases We Handle
Dangerous Drugs
These cases involve prescription or over-the-counter medications that have harmful side effects or undisclosed risks, leading to serious health issues.
