As mentioned above, the most common defendant in a drug injury case is the manufacturer. If the manufacturer designs, manufactures, distributes, or markets a drug that causes harm they can be held liable.
02Doctors and Medical Facility
A doctor can be held partially responsible for injuries if they prescribe a medication or device they should have known was dangerous for their patient.
