Everyone there was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. My car was totaled, and I was a little intimidated talking with a couple of other lawyers in Greenville. But with Christian and Christian, not only did they answer my questions, but they did so in a way that made what could have been a hectic situation, easy. Overall, an excellent experience with high quality lawyers who truly go above and beyond and really try to get you the results or answers you need.

My husband was referred to this law firm from another lawyer after his mother passed away while residing in a nursing home. Matt took on his case and we are pleased with how everything turned out. It took a long, long time to finally settle, but it was worth the wait. The staff here is friendly and I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

I was referred to Harold by a family friend, and I couldn’t be happier. He took the time to listen to my case, answered all my questions and truly treated me like a friend not a client. His knowledge of medical malpractice is priceless he actually successfully won, one of the first medical malpractice cases in Greenville County.

South Carolina Pharmaceutical Error Attorneys
In this day and age, it’s not uncommon to hear of another big pharma settlement that has affected many people across South Carolina taking “XYZ” drug or using “XYZ” medical device. But what happens when this pharmaceutical case has legitimately affected you or a loved one? Our attorneys have over 100 years of combined pharmaceutical experience, which has helped us win millions in settlements for people taking drugs that had then been recalled or deemed unsafe.
Most Common Pharma Cases
The lawyers at Christian & Christian Law are experts on the most notorious pharmaceutical drugs that end in fallout. These drugs are not to be confused with prescription medication errors, which typically ends in medical malpractice settlements, but are a standalone case that we help you fight big pharma companies for. Some of our most common culprits for pharmaceutical cases are:
- Viberzi
- Zantac
- Tasinga
- Uloric
- Talc Powder
- Limbrel
- Elmiron
- Ocaliva
- Tylenol liver damage
- SGLT2 Inhibitor
- Proton Pump Inhibitor
- Defective Diabetes Medications
While some of these medications can be purchased over the counter, most medications have been prescribed by doctors (most have since come off the market), which are then picked up by patients at the pharmacy. In these cases, the doctors, nurses, hospitals, and pharmacy techs have prescribed you the right medication, but later found out that these medications were dangerous and pulled from the market by their pharma companies. Because there was no negligence involved in the original prescribing of the medication, these lawsuits are often taken up with pharmaceutical companies to claim your settlement.
If you suffered an injury from a bad medication, contact our South Carolina pharmaceutical error attorneys for immediate help.
Why Hire a Lawyer to Help You Win a Pharmaceutical Case
When we are prescribed or purchasing a medication, we trust that these medications are on the market for a reason. Most of the drugs listed above are designed to help patients with cancer, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gout, heartburn or stomach ulcers, which are all serious conditions. When we take these medications, we expect they will help us get better or offer relief, not harm us. If you’ve been injured due to a medication and later found out that the medication was part of a major pharmaceutical case, you need an attorney to help you fight for as much compensation as possible.
What Does a Pharmaceutical Case Look Like?
What Does a Pharmaceutical Case Look Like?
Pharmaceutical cases are cases in which we focus on specific issues related to the drug, bad marketing of the drug or the development of the drug. Usually, pharma cases are called into question when the drug produces unintended side effects for a patient or the drug was improperly labeled before being put on the market. A lawsuit against a “bad drug” is usually personal and can be filed against the medical company, but in some cases, pharma lawsuits end in class action, which is when a group of individuals affected by the same drug come together to file against the manufacturer. In many cases, you want to file individually, but we can always discuss your options.

Frequently Asked Questions – Greenville Pharmaceutical Case
A pharmaceutical case is a type of personal injury lawsuit filed against a drug manufacturer whose product caused a serious injury. These cases are typically a form of product liability, alleging that the drug had a dangerous design, a manufacturing defect, or a marketing defect, such as a failure to warn of a serious side effect. In many instances, a single lawsuit against a drug manufacturer is part of a larger mass tort litigation.
Pharmaceutical lawsuits are often filed for a variety of reasons. Common causes include a drug manufacturer failing to adequately warn patients and doctors about the risk of a serious side effect; a drug having a dangerous design that causes more harm than good; or the company misrepresenting the drug’s safety or effectiveness. An attorney can help you investigate the cause of your injury to determine if you have a valid claim.
Dangerous pharmaceutical drugs can cause a wide range of severe injuries. Some of the most common include vision loss from drugs like Elmiron; severe gastrointestinal issues like gastroparesis from drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro; and heart attacks or strokes from drugs like Uloric. In the most tragic cases, a dangerous drug can lead to wrongful death, for which a family can seek compensation.
If you are injured by a dangerous drug, you may be entitled to a wide range of damages. This can include economic damages, such as medical expenses and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases of a manufacturer’s willful misconduct, a court may also award punitive damages to punish the company and deter future dangerous conduct.
When a dangerous drug or medical device injures a large number of people, their individual lawsuits may be consolidated into a mass tort or a multidistrict litigation (MDL). An MDL allows a single judge to oversee all of the cases from across the country to streamline the legal process. While the cases are consolidated for discovery and pretrial proceedings, they remain individual lawsuits with their own settlements or verdicts.
