In suing a drug
manufacturer for injuries caused by
pharmaceuticals, the usual theories of
products liability apply:
- Strict
liability
-
Negligence
- Breach
of warranty
If the
doctor's conduct is to blame, a negligence
suit in medical malpractice is justified.
Drug
manufacturers and drug-prescribing
physicians hold positions of trust and
should expect that if their negligence
causes damage, they will be held
responsible. |
