Drug Injury Claims Process

Every case is different, but when you file a drug injury claim, expect the following four steps:

Your case is filed.

Our drug injury lawyers will help you complete the necessary paperwork, gather the evidence needed to file a strong case, and file your drug lawsuit with the proper court.

Cases are combined.

Cases that deal with the same “questions of fact”—or the same drug side effects—are transferred to a single district court under the multidistrict litigation (MDL) system. The MDL system speeds up the claims process by allowing one judge to handle all of the cases related to a specific type of drug side effect at the same time.

Combined cases go through discovery, pretrial, and settlement conferences. The judge assigned to your case will conduct:
  • Discovery
    Discovery is a chance for you, your lawyer, and the pharmaceutical company’s lawyers to exchange documents, submit written questions, and conduct in-person questioning (depositions) before a trial.
  • Pretrial
    The pretrial phase allows both sides of your case to argue legal issues that may affect the outcome of a trial in front of the MDL judge.
  • Settlement Conferences
    The MDL judge will attempt to negotiate a settlement between the drug injury lawyers representing the victims and the pharmaceutical company.
Going to trial.

If no settlement agreement can be reached during MDL settlement conferences, your case will be sent back to the court where it was filed for trial.
