For more than 25 years, Brooks Law Firm has engaged in individual lawsuits and multi-district litigation against doctors, health care providers, and drug manufacturers for injuries, illness and death caused by dangerous drugs and unsafe pharmaceuticals. Savannah defective drugs lawyer Eugene C. Brooks is a certified trial specialist who has represented clients throughout Coastal Georgia and statewide.

Mr. Brooks has obtained notable jury verdicts and settlements in both major categories of pharmaceutical cases:

  • Medical Malpractice: Before prescribing or administering drugs, doctors, pharmacists, and hospital staff must check for drug allergies, harmful interactions with other medications, or medical conditions that would make use of the drug dangerous. Physicians are also accountable for injuries from "off-label" uses, prescribing the wrong medication, giving a harmful dosage, or failing to fully inform patients of possible side effects. In recent but unrelated cases, Mr. Brooks obtained a verdict of $1 million in Cherokee County, Georgia and a settlement of nearly $1 million in Guilford County, North Carolina, both for fatal overdoses of the drug Methadone.
  • Product Liability: Pharmaceutical products must undergo rigorous testing and clinical trials before being put on the market. Manufacturers of defective drugs can be held liable for damages for ignoring serious health risks, failing to test medications, and failing to warn doctors and the public of harmful side effects. Mr. Brooks has negotiated two substantial settlements for heart damage from diet drugs, and one for paralysis caused by an antibiotic which has since been taken off the market.

Tort reform has made it harder for victims to recover compensation for injuries caused by dangerous drugs. It is, however, still possible to recover compensation from drug companies, doctors, and medical professionals for drug-related injuries and deaths.
