Kentucky Dangerous Drug Attorney: U.S. Department Of Justice Announces Continued Pursuit Of Drug Companies For Illegal Marketing

On the heels of the announcement of a plea deal with Allergan Inc. for $600 million in penalties, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) civil division indicated that it will continue to aggressively pursue drug companies for illegally marketing drugs for uses for which they have not gained approval. The DOJ hopes that they can create a deterrent by pursuing the drug companies in this manner, and thereby preventing harm to consumers.

Dangerous and defective drugs are responsible for many injuries and death nationwide. Our profession calls this area of law products liability. Consulting a lawyer experienced in handling these matters is usually easy. Most lawyers will provide a complimentary initial consultation to evaluate a claim or case and let the person know if they can help.
