Dangerous Medication Attorneys in Kansas City

Defective Drug Litigation

Dozens of new prescription medications hit the market each year, bringing relief to millions but taking a toll on thousands of others. So many of these “wonder drugs” and “medical breakthroughs” have turned out to be dangerous or fatal that drug recall litigation is now an industry of its own.

We are small enough to offer clients personal attention and support while aggressively pursuing compensation on their behalf.

Dempsey & Kingsland can initiate individual lawsuits or represent your interests in class action litigation. Some products have been taken off the market in full-scale drug recall after patients died or suffered permanent injury. Others have been forced to warn the public of the risks of grave side effects such as heart attack, stroke, brain damage, liver damage, hemorrhage, and paralysis.

Litigation has covered the spectrum of drugs such as:

• Reglan (metoclopramide)
• Trasylol (heart surgery)
• Gadolinium (metal found in MRI contrast dyes)
• Duragesic Fentanyl Pain Patch (pain relief)
• Avandia (diabetes)
• Paxil (anti-depressant)
• Byetta (diabetes)
• Digitek (heart)
• Levaquin (antibiotic)
• Accutane (acne drug)
• Ortho-Evra (birth control)
• Fosamax (osteoporosis medication)
• Raptiva (psoriasis drug)
• Rituxan (arthritis/lymphoma/lupus)
• Osmoprep (colonoscopy prep)
• Fleet Phospho-soda (colonoscopy prep)
