You took the medication exactly as prescribed, so why are you the one paying the price?
When a drug meant to heal leaves you broken, betrayed, or buried under medical debt, it’s not just side effects—it’s negligence.
Millions trust their doctors, only to suffer devastating injuries from dangerous pharmaceuticals that were misrepresented, poorly tested, or never fully disclosed.
Now you’re facing relentless pain, mounting hospital bills, lost wages, and no roadmap for recovery. The drug company? Silent. Your doctor? Unsure. And you? Left wondering how this could happen.
At Third Coast Lawyers, we don’t just see a case—we see your life, upended. We’ve helped Wisconsin families take on billion-dollar manufacturers and expose the truth behind defective medications.
Whether it’s a black box warning added too late or a recall after lives were already shattered, we fight for answers, accountability, and every dollar you deserve.
Because your suffering wasn’t a fluke, it was a failure—and someone must answer for it.
You trusted the treatment. Now you’re living with the consequences.
A prescription is supposed to help you recover, not ruin your health or endanger your life.
Yet across Wisconsin, patients are suffering severe harm from drugs that were marketed as safe.
Dangerous drug claims arise when medications, prescription or over-the-counter, cause serious, unexpected harm. This may include adverse reactions, long-term health conditions, or death.
Often, these cases involve drugs that were improperly tested, sold without adequate warnings, or defectively manufactured. In some cases, the FDA later issues recalls or “black box” warnings, but by then, the damage is done.
If your life changed after taking a medication you believed was safe, legal action may help uncover who failed you—and why.
Many dangerous drug cases trace back to corporate misconduct. Drug companies may conceal negative trial results, push medications for unapproved uses, or fail to warn doctors and patients about severe side effects.
Pharmacies can also contribute to harm by dispensing incorrect dosages or failing to flag known interactions.
In these situations, it’s rarely the patient’s fault, but patients bear the consequences. Our job is to prove that your suffering wasn’t just unfortunate—it was preventable.
You’re not alone—and your symptoms may not be random.
Not all drugs are defective, but some have caused devastating effects in thousands of patients.
If you’re experiencing strange or worsening symptoms after starting a medication, these may be warning signs of a drug-related injury.
Drugs like Xarelto, Eliquis, and Pradaxa are intended to prevent blood clots, but they can also lead to dangerous internal bleeding.
For some patients, even minor trauma can trigger a brain bleed or gastrointestinal hemorrhage. These outcomes are often sudden, irreversible, and sometimes fatal. Lawsuits allege manufacturers failed to fully warn about the bleeding risk or failed to provide reversal agents when bleeding occurs.
GLP-1 agonists, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, are gaining popularity, but with this popularity has come growing concern.
Patients have reported severe gastrointestinal disorders, gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, and even thyroid cancer.
Despite these risks, some drugmakers allegedly downplayed side effects or failed to conduct long-term safety studies. Our firm is reviewing claims from those harmed by these high-demand drugs.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Zoloft, Paxil, and Prozac carry black box warnings, especially for adolescents and young adults.
Families who lost loved ones to suicide after starting these medications may have a claim if it’s proven that the manufacturer failed to warn or monitor for suicidal behavior adequately.
These cases are emotionally complex, but civil litigation can offer both accountability and closure.
Zantac (ranitidine), once a common heartburn medication, has been linked to NDMA, a known carcinogen. Thousands of patients across the U.S. have filed claims citing bladder, liver, and stomach cancers.
Similarly, hormone therapy drugs have raised red flags for increased breast cancer risk and fertility disorders. If you’ve been diagnosed after long-term use, your case may deserve a closer look.
When a drug causes harm, the law gives you the right to seek compensation. But asserting that right requires understanding complex legal timelines, regulatory warnings, and litigation strategies.
At Third Coast Lawyers, we help Wisconsin families navigate this maze with clarity and urgency—because delays can jeopardize your entire case.
In most Wisconsin drug injury claims, you have three years from the date you knew or should have known that the drug caused your injury (Wis. Stat. § 893.54).
This is called the “discovery rule”, and it matters because many patients don’t realize a medication harmed them until months or even years after use.
Unfortunately, the courts don’t go by the date a recall is announced. If you suspect a connection between your symptoms and a medication, now is the time to act.
Some dangerous drugs remain on the market even after serious risks are known. Others carry black box warnings—the FDA’s most severe alert—yet patients are never directly told. These warnings are powerful evidence in court.
While the FDA may delay a full recall, that doesn’t protect drugmakers from lawsuits. Civil courts often expose what regulators missed.
If your prescription had hidden dangers, we’ll use every available legal tool to prove it should never have reached your hands.
You’re likely not the only one affected. Many dangerous drug cases become mass torts or enter multi-district litigation (MDL), where hundreds or thousands of similar lawsuits are coordinated in federal court.
Unlike class actions, your case remains individualized—but gains strength from shared investigation and legal firepower.
Our firm ensures your story doesn’t get lost in the crowd and that any settlement reflects your specific losses, not just averages.
Many victims believe only the drugmaker can be sued, but in reality, dangerous drug claims can involve multiple negligent parties.
From pharmaceutical giants who buried safety warnings to doctors who ignored known risks, each entity along the chain may bear responsibility for your suffering.
At Third Coast Lawyers, we uncover the full scope of liability—because justice demands more than finger-pointing.
Drug manufacturers are frequently the primary defendants in these cases. They can be held liable for:
In many cases, internal documents reveal that companies were aware of the dangers and prioritized profits over people. That’s where we come in.
Physicians and healthcare systems also have legal duties. If your provider:
They may share liability. Hospitals can be particularly vulnerable if they lack oversight, fail to identify contraindications, or disregard manufacturer advisories in their pharmacy systems.
Even the final point of contact—the pharmacy—can be held accountable. If a pharmacist:
At Third Coast Lawyers, we go beyond medical records. Our team builds a layered, investigative case that ties your injury to a specific drug, lot number, manufacturer, and negligent act.
We don’t just allege harm—we prove it with scientific backing and legal firepower.
You must demonstrate more than symptoms—you must show causation.
We consult with:
Together, we establish a direct connection between the medication and your injuries, which is essential in court or settlement talks.
Many drug injuries are tied to specific manufacturing lots. We trace:
In some cases, only certain runs of a drug were contaminated or improperly compounded. We pinpoint the one that harmed you.
We use:
Mass torts often begin when someone inside the company exposes a cover-up. We work with attorneys nationwide to tap into this evidence.
This isn’t just about compensation—it’s about restoring dignity after a betrayal of trust.
When you suffer from a defective drug, your life can change forever. Medical costs rise. Work becomes impossible. Confidence and well-being vanish.
Our job is to pursue every dollar of compensation allowed under Wisconsin and federal law, so you can start rebuilding.
Includes all health-related costs:
We project long-term care needs into the future, so your case doesn’t shortchange your recovery.
We calculate:
If the drug forced you to leave a job—or abandon a dream—we make that loss part of your claim.
No one can put a price on chronic fatigue, seizures, memory loss, or inability to enjoy daily life—but courts recognize these harms as non-economic damages.
We fight to have your emotional pain valued as seriously as your physical injuries.
If a family member died due to medication side effects, you may recover:
Punitive damages may also apply in cases of extreme corporate misconduct.
When the stakes are life-changing, you don’t need a generic firm—you need fierce, focused advocates.

What qualifies as a dangerous drug case in Wisconsin?
A dangerous drug case involves a prescription or over-the-counter medication that causes serious harm due to design defects, manufacturing errors, or a failure to warn about known side effects. Victims must show a direct link between the drug and their injury.
Can I sue if the FDA hasn’t recalled the drug?
Yes. FDA approval or lack of a recall does not prevent you from filing a lawsuit. Many dangerous drug cases rely on black box warnings, adverse event reports, or whistleblower disclosures, not recalls.
How long do I have to file a dangerous drug lawsuit in Wisconsin?
You generally have three years from the date of injury or discovery under Wis. Stat. § 893.54. However, the clock may start earlier than expected, so immediate legal review is critical.
Who can be held liable for injuries from a dangerous medication?
Multiple parties may be held accountable, including drug manufacturers, prescribing doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and distributors, depending on the circumstances surrounding the negligence.
What types of damages can I recover in a drug injury case?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, and wrongful death damages if a loved one passed away due to the medication.
How do I prove the drug caused my condition?
Proof comes from medical diagnosis, expert testimony (e.g., toxicologists, pharmacologists), and tracing the history of the medication batch or warning label. We build the case using FDA records, internal memos, and scientific evidence.
Third Coast Lawyers empower clients through education, experience, and advocacy — helping injury victims understand their rights and pursue the legal remedies they deserve.
