Product liability cases are often associated with adverse reactions to a particular drug. If more than one person suffers injury or death, it will even hit the national news. For example, everyone now knows the dangers of giving aspirin to children, because it may lead to Rye's syndrome. Today, television commercials advertise both the benefits and risks of a particular drug. Medication labels also include the risks associated with a particular drug, no matter how small of a chance the patient will suffer the same malady. So, if you are a patient and suffer adverse drug affects, product liability cases are a means to get the compensation to pay subsequent medical bills, or supplement the loss of income, if a loved one dies. On the other hand, understanding these cases can help drug companies do whatever it takes to keep the public informed, so misuse of the drug or knowingly taking the risk is not their responsibility.
