Prescription and over-the-counter drugs are supposed to improve our health—not put our lives at risk. Unfortunately, defective or dangerous medications continue to reach the market, harming unsuspecting patients across New York. At Leitner Warywoda, we represent individuals throughout NYC, the boroughs, and Long Island who have suffered serious side effects, complications, or long-term harm due to unsafe pharmaceuticals. Our team stands ready to investigate your case and hold negligent manufacturers accountable.

​

What Makes a Drug Dangerous?

​

A drug may be considered dangerous if it causes unforeseen side effects, contains undisclosed risks, or lacks adequate warnings for consumers and doctors. Some medications are rushed to market without proper testing, while others are prescribed off-label in ways the manufacturer never intended. In either case, the result can be catastrophic. Whether your injury stems from a recalled drug or one still on pharmacy shelves, our attorneys can help determine liability and identify if you qualify for compensation.

​​

Examples of Known Harmful Drugs

 

Many high-profile drug cases in recent years have affected thousands of Americans, including residents of New York. Medications such as Zantac, Ozempic, Accutane, and various birth control products have been linked to cancer, stroke, gastrointestinal injuries, and other serious health issues. If you believe a prescription or OTC drug has harmed you or a loved one, you may not be alone—and you may be entitled to financial recovery.

Holding Pharmaceutical Companies Accountable

​

Pharmaceutical manufacturers have a legal obligation to ensure their products are safe and properly labeled. When companies cut corners or hide risks to protect profits, patients pay the price. Our firm’s deep experience in product liability and personal injury law gives us the tools to challenge even the largest drug companies. We work with medical experts, review FDA data, and build strong legal claims to support your case from start to finish.
