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.

Understanding Pharmaceutical Drug Liability

When consumers are injured by a defective drug, the consequences can be serious and life-altering. Products liability lawsuits are commonly based on pharmaceutical drug liability, and understanding your rights is crucial to obtaining the compensation you deserve.

Drug manufacturers may be responsible when their drug injures a consumer, but additional parties may also be liable for the harm suffered by the victim depending on the circumstances. The legal landscape surrounding pharmaceutical liability is complex, which is why having experienced legal representation is essential.

Manufacturer Responsibilities and Duties

In general, manufacturers of drugs have a duty to test drugs and medicines before they are offered to the public based on guidelines and industry standards provided by the Food and Drug Administration. The duties shared by drug manufacturers include:

Testing Requirements

Comprehensive testing of drugs and medicines before public release, following FDA guidelines and industry standards.

Warning Obligations

Generally, drug manufacturers must warn of known dangers of the drug but are not required to warn of unknown dangers.

Ongoing Monitoring

A continuing duty to provide updates concerning known adverse effects of a drug as new information becomes available.

Adequate Warnings

In some circumstances, if the medicine provides adequate warnings, the manufacturer may have a defense to claims brought by injured consumers.

Legal Complexities in Pharmaceutical Cases

The liabilities and responsibilities of drug manufacturers can be complex. Because of the complexities associated with pharmaceutical liability, it is important for both injured victims and manufacturers to understand the legal process. There can be different theories upon which to bring a claim for damages and different methods of defending against a pharmaceutical liability claim.

Our Approach to Defective Drug Cases

We strive to maximize the best possible outcomes our clients may hope to achieve. Defective drugs may cause life-altering injuries and even death. When our clients suffer from the negligence of pharmaceutical companies, we take an aggressive approach to obtaining the compensation they deserve for all damages and recovery.

When an individual has been injured by a defective drug, it is important that they understand pharmaceutical liability and the options and protections that may be available to them. Damages due to a defective drug can be serious, but legal options are available to help with the challenges faced by victims.

Trying a case in court, setting it up for success from the start, fighting for the ultimate verdict – these are practices many attorneys shy away from; but not at Lyons & Simmons, LLP. We are trial lawyers who step into a case and adapt ourselves to the unique needs of the situation at hand.
