San Francisco Pharmaceutical Product
Liability Lawyers

A person who has experienced adverse effects, and sometimes life-threatening illness, from taking a pharmaceutical product can seek legal action against the manufacturer of the drug.  The manufacturer has a responsibility to the consumer to provide a safe product.  If it does not, you should seek legal advice.

Walker, Hamilton & Kearns, LLP has handled cases against the manufacturers of products such as Hydroxycut, Fosamax and birth control pills (see Holmes v Syntex 156 Cal App 3d 373).  We understand what it takes to build a strong and successful case against pharmaceutical companies.

Don’t delay.  Call us now!

If you or a loved one has suffered a life-altering injury caused by a pharmaceutical product, call our firm now to discuss your case.
