Pharmaceutical Litigation
Pharmaceutical litigation involves seeking justice for injuries caused by prescription or over-the-counter drugs that are believed to be safe. Unfortunately, even drugs that have been approved by the FDA may prove harmful for many patients. This may be a result of inadequate testing or overlooked health risks.
High profile pharmaceutical litigation cases in recent years have included Vioxx, Bextra, Zyprexa, Crestor, Prempro, Baycol, Accutane, Oxycontin, Rezulin, Fen-Phen, Paxil, Celebrex and Neurontin. These drugs have been demonstrated to have serious side effects ranging from organ damage to death in some people. Chris Parks was a central figure in the litigation involving the prescription contraceptive “Norplant” and one of those responsible for bringing the national, multi-district federal Norplant case to Beaumont, Texas. (It was the first MDL case ever to be assigned to the Beaumont Federal Court.) Mr. Parks served as liaison counsel and co-chairman of MDL 1208 in the Eastern District of Texas brought against American Home Products Corporation. More than forty thousand victims were compensated when the litigation was successfully concluded in 1999.
