Unsafe Medical Drugs

My 1-year-old son was suffering from fever and dysentery. We took him to a doctor, who prescribed medicine which we bought from a nearby pharmacy. A moment after taking the medicine, he started throwing up and sweating profusely. I immediately took him to the emergency department of a hospital. After a thorough investigation, it was found that the medicine dosage was too heavy for a one-year-old. To make things worse, the medicine had expired. Who do I sue for causing harm to my son? 

Generally, in case of harm/ injury caused by an unsafe medical drug, victims may be able to sue the following parties:

·         Manufacturers
·         Testing laboratories
·         Medical sale representatives
·         Doctors
·         Hospitals/ clinics
·         Pharmacies

However, in your particular case, you may be able to sue the doctor who prescribed medication beyond the normal dosage, as well as the pharmacy which sold a product that had already expired.

  1. My daughter got very sick after consuming unsafe medical drugs we bought from a medical store. We want the help of a lawyer to sue the medical store for selling unsafe medical drugs. Please recommend a law firm.
