ETHEX and KV Phamaceutical Lawsuit and Strict Liability

Medication errors can happen when a pharmaceutical company manufactures tablets that are the wrong dose of the medication. When this happens and someone dies or is injured, the pharmaceutical company may be strictly liable for that death or injury. This means that the company would have to compensate the injured person or the family of the person who died if their medication error attorney can show that the product was defective and that the defect caused the injury or death. It is not necessary to prove that anyone negligently or intentionally caused the defect.

If you or a family member has been affected by the recalled ETHEX Hydromorphone, contact us about an ETHEX and KV Pharmaceutical lawsuit.
