Experienced Pharmaceutical Injury Representation

Pharmaceutical injury litigation is a primary focus of our practice. In recent years, our attorneys have participated in several high profile class action cases which have resulted in substantial damage awards for our clients. Some of these cases include:

• Celebrex litigation – We represented plaintiffs who suffered injuries from taking the drug Celebrex, claiming that Pfizer, the drug’s manufacturer, engaged in a misleading ad campaign in the promotion of the drug. Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges Pfizer failed to properly warn consumers of the serious risk of cardiovascular issues.


• Vioxx litigation – We represented plaintiffs who suffered injuries from taking the drug Vioxx, claiming that Merck, the drug’s manufacturer, knowingly concealed information regarding the increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Hagens Berman is currently accepting Accutane claims from consumers who suffered serious injuries from taking the popular acne medication. Accutane has been linked to an increased risk of:

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease
• Crohn’s Disease
• Ulcerative Colitis
