Millions of Americans take prescription drugs on a regular basis for a variety of preventative and treatment reasons. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of people taking prescription medications has steadily risen in recent years with
To keep up with the staggering demand for the latest, greatest prescription drugs, pharmaceutical companies often fast-track new drugs for approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA’s 501(k) Premarket Approval allows drug companies the option of obtaining approval simply by stating that a new drug is substantially equivalent to an already marketed drug. Unfortunately, many drugs hit the market without specific research demonstrating the safety and efficacy of continued use.
Once a prescription drug has penetrated the market, the FDA monitors the number and substance of consumer complaints regarding side effects and complications. Often, the FDA issues safety warnings or recalls if the complaints prove serious enough, but these recalls are too late to protect the thousands of patients that have already suffered unnecessary and serious health effects.
If you or a loved one have experienced complications due to a prescription drug, it is important to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure that you are still eligible to file a claim. Some of the most common pharmaceutical litigation claims stem from drugs such as:
With any prescription drug lawsuit, there are several steps that must be taken as your case proceeds through the legal system. Strict Statutes of Limitation dictate how long you have to file a claim. Mass tort cases, in particular, involve a significant number of plaintiffs and require a high level of legal knowledge and experience to be successful.

“Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case.The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say ‘Real Tough Lawyers,’ they mean it.”
“I am so thankful for EVERYONE, the entire staff at Osborne & Francis Law, for mentoring me through the mediation process with my hip replacement failures. I didn't realize how MUCH pressure they relieved me of by helping me deal with the reality of this traumatic time in my life, as it was OVER so quickly with a positive result. My family is grateful to have their mom HAPPY & FOCUSED on the future, rather than worrying over what happened in the past! FAST FORWARD, we are LIVING LIFE to the fullest once again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer/ firm — everything was done professionally exactly how I wanted. Due to COVID my personal attorney Mr. Garcia was still able to make things work in a timely manner and he never made me feel like he wasn’t working. Overall I’m happy with how my case turned out and I would recommend him and this law firm to anyone. 100% satisfied.”
Dennis and the other Osborne & Francis staff were amazing! Our case was HUGE and required tender loving care. Everyone on our case did their part by putting all the puzzle pieces together. We were given step by step updates and put at ease when our nerves got the best of us. For every inquiry we made we received a timely response...You are appreciated!
Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.
"Best personal injury attorney around, I could not be happier! I was seriously injured in a car accident and Osborne and Francis helped me through the entire process. I was blown away by how knowledgeable the staff and attorneys are at this incredible law firm. I would not hesitate to recommend this law firm to friends and family!"
