Defective Drug Injury Attorneys in New Mexico

Protecting the Rights of People Harmed by Dangerous Pharmaceuticals

Finding medical treatment that is right for you can be a complicated process. You may need to try many different types of medication, therapy, and other methods before finding something that works. Although some prescriptions may not be the best choice for you, other drugs can actively cause harm to patients if they are defective.

Defective drugs are doubly dangerous because they not only fail to treat the medical condition for which they were prescribed, but also cause additional injury to patients. A person can suffer from severe injuries or illnesses if they use a defective drug.

The New Mexico defective drug injury lawyers of Lyons & Simmons, LLP can represent you if you or a loved one were injured because of a harmful medication. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you recover the compensation you deserve.

Justice Served:

Record Verdicts Achieved

For their successful pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, and Stephen Higdon have been awarded the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s prestigious 2021 John Howie Award. The honor is based on the trial team’s work representing an Alabama mother who lost three children in a tragic West Texas highway accident.
In a case that drew national attention, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, P. Wes Black, and Michael Wozniak won a record-setting $109.5 million verdict against CPS Energy after proving the company’s failure to maintain its gas system led to a devastating explosion and fire. The result not only delivered justice for the victims — it set a new standard for accountability in the utility industry.
The firm secured a landmark jury verdict for a client whose life was permanently changed after systemic hospital failures caused a nearly five-hour delay in emergency surgery, resulting in catastrophic paralysis. The case brought to light serious breaches of hospital policy and was recognized by Courtroom View Network as one of the nation’s top verdicts of 2022.

When is a Drug Considered Defective?

A drug may be labeled as defective if it fails to treat a certain condition and/or causes injury to patients. Defects are issues that result from negligence during the creation, manufacturing, and marketing of a drug.

It is important to consider that all side effects caused by drugs are not evident of defects. Most drugs do cause side effects; however, a drug may be defective if you are experiencing a dangerous side effect that was not listed in the information you were provided about the medication.

How Do I Know if a Drug is Defective?

It is rare that patients are directly notified about defective drugs. You may have learned about a drug defect through a news story, a recall announcement, or via your doctor. Or, you may be experiencing symptoms that appear to be caused by your medication. Through any of these channels, you may learn that a drug is defective and that you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.

What Should I Do if a Drug I Use is Defective?

Upon learning about a drug defect, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible. It is crucial to speak with your doctor about getting care for any injuries the drug caused and developing an alternative method of treatment to replace the defective drug. You should not stop using a drug without first speaking to your doctor — every person is different, and it is possible that you may not be affected by the defect. The input of a medical expert is essential for understanding what you should do next.

Once you receive the medical care you need, contact our defective drug injury lawyers in New Mexico. We can help you build a case and work toward receiving compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other financial and non-economic damages. New Mexico is a strict liability state, so it’s possible that you may be able to recover compensation based on evidence of the defect alone. We can discuss the legal aspects of your case, answer your questions, and guide you toward a resolution.

Mi experiencia con el Sr. Mike Lyons, el Sr. Chris Simmons y su equipo fue excepcional. Manejaron mi caso con tal profesionalidad que me sentí muy tranquila. No me sentí como un simple número de caso ni como una clienta más. Fueron muy atentos con la familia, lo que me hizo sentir que la mía era su prioridad. Siempre me mantuvieron al tanto del estado de todos los trámites y, si tenía alguna inquietud, la atendían. Respetaron todas mis decisiones. Espero no tener que volver a contratar sus servicios, pero si lo necesitara, Mike y Chris serían mi primera opción. Creo que nos hemos hecho buenos amigos. Recomendaría a Lyons & Simmons a cualquiera que busque lo mejor en representación legal. Muchas gracias de parte de la familia Waldridge. ¡Que Dios los bendiga!

“
Un fatal accidente aéreo dejó a mi familia sumida en una profunda angustia. Siendo una joven viuda y madre de un bebé, estaba aterrorizada e insegura sobre cómo seguir adelante en un mundo que lo había trastocado todo. Lyons & Simmons se convirtió rápidamente en el pilar que mantuvo unida a nuestra familia. Todo su equipo me acompañó y me guio hacia las siguientes etapas de mi vida con confianza y ternura."
Cuando la pandemia de COVID-19 azotó una semana después del accidente, Lyons & Simmons continuó trabajando diligentemente en medio de los cierres mundiales. Si bien defienden con esmero a sus clientes, su trabajo es genuino y sincero. No se han insensibilizado ante las trágicas experiencias de sus clientes, y gracias a ellos he encontrado apoyo en todos los sentidos. Mis preguntas reciben respuestas completas y oportunas. Hacen hincapié en la estrategia y realizan un análisis exhaustivo de cada caso.
Lyons & Simmons ha forjado y mantiene sólidas relaciones con personas de todos los ámbitos de su práctica. La profesionalidad demostrada por Mike, Chris, Melinda y los demás es inigualable, y su capacidad para iluminar incluso las situaciones más difíciles es verdaderamente admirable. Admiro al equipo de Lyons & Simmons y seguiré agradeciendo a Dios por el trabajo que han realizado por mí y por mi hijo hasta el último día de mi vida.
