Minnesota Drug Injury Lawyers

Minneapolis Drug Injury Attorneys

Nearly one out of three adults take five or more medications every single week.
–Institute of Medicine

Americans spend more than $200 billion a year on prescription drugs. As a nation, we take more prescriptions than ever before, and the new drugs that come out every year often cost more than the ones they are designed to replace.

Take Action

Drug manufacturers compete to market so-called “blockbuster” drugs—products that generate $1 billion or more a year—that are frequently reformulations of older, cheaper drugs with new packaging and a much higher price.

The possible benefits of these drugs are highlighted while the significant risks are downplayed. The Food and Drug Administration will request stricter warning labels for drugs after they’ve harmed the very people they’re intended to help. By the time a drug is recalled, hundreds or even thousands of people have been put at undue risk, all in the name of profits for big drug companies.

If you or someone you love is suffering because of a medication, take action now—call Butwinick Donaldson: The Action Lawyers. Our Minnesota drug injury lawyers will stand up against giant pharmaceutical companies to get you the money you deserve.
