Indiana Bad Drug Lawsuits & Indiana Defective Medical Device Cases

Indiana Bad Drug Lawsuits & Indiana Defective Medical Device Cases

If an Indiana bad drug or Indiana defective medical device was responsible for causing your injuries or damages, or took the life of your loved one through a wrongful death, you are likely entitled to receive financial compensation through a lawsuit or recompense claim. The federal and state governments provide opportunities to victims in seeking compensation from every party that caused their harm. This could include the pharmaceutical company, medical device manufacturer and/or the doctor and hospital who provided the medication prescription or implanted the medical device during a surgical procedure.

The rise of lawsuits and cases for compensation has risen significantly in the last few decades. This is because many pharmaceutical companies and device manufacturers place profits as their highest priority, in lieu of ensuring the safety and well-being of the consumer. In many incidences, the company has rushed their product to the medical marketplace by pressuring approval from the FDA (Federal Drug Administration), long before the product could have been properly tested through clinical trials, which is usually to the detriment of the patient.

Many of these Indiana bad drug and medical device recalls are the result of an FDA recommended recall that alerts consumers to stop using the product. Other recalls are voluntary, where the pharmaceutical company or drug manufacturer initiates the action to alert doctors and pharmacies of a defective drug or medical device suppliers that there are issues with the defective product or its components.

The resource links below can assist the victim in beginning the process of filing a claim for compensation against the pharmaceutical company, device manufacturer, doctors or hospital that are responsible for causing the injury or wrongful death.

State of Indiana Statute of Limitations

Indiana Civil Statute of Limitations Laws — Code Provisions (Code § 34-18-7-1)

  • Product Liability – 2 Years
  • Wrongful Death – 2 Years ‘from date of death or from date of knowledge of injury by radiation or asbestos.’
