Is anything being done to warn consumers about the possible dangers of taking OxyContin?
The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has strengthened its precautions in the labeling of OxyContin tablets, including issuing their strongest warning – a Black Box Warning.



Should I contact an attorney if I have been harmed by, or become addicted to, OxyContin?
It may be important for you to contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Only an experienced OxyContin attorney can evaluate whether you have a case that is worth pursuing. An experienced attorney at Brown & Crouppen is ready to take your call.



How much does an attorney evaluation cost in these types of cases?
Nothing! We will evaluate your case free of charge. Please contact Brown & Crouppen today for your free initial consultation.



What should I do if I want to sue the manufacturer of OxyContin?
Manufacturers of drugs and supplements, such as OxyContin, may be held responsible for the sale of defective drugs. The obligation of the manufacturer is to make a safe product including the duty to design, manufacture, inspect, and label a product appropriately. Proving that a manufacturer of a drug supplement is responsible for a defective product can be complicated and expensive. An experienced attorney on your side is your best bet for fighting a case against a manufacturer.



What is a tort personal injury?
An injury or wrong committed, with or without force, to the person or property of another, which gives rise to a claim for damages.



When is a prescription of OxyContin considered a criminal activity?
Prescribing OxyContin is considered a criminal activity if any of the following occurs:
• A doctor fraudulently prescribes OxyContin to abusers for money.
• A pharmacist illegally fills an abuser’s prescription, or forges prescriptions for abusers.
• Abusers steal prescription pads, and then write their own forged prescriptions.
• Dealers, or abusers, burglarize pharmacies.



If a member of my family is addicted to OxyContin, what can I do?
First, and immediately, seek medical treatment for your family member. Next, contact an attorney, such as those at Brown & Crouppen, who have experience with OxyContin claims. You may have a legal claim and be entitled to compensation.



Has there been any class action lawsuits against the makers of OxyContin?
In June 2001, a group of Virginia residents filed a class-action lawsuit against the makers (Perdue Pharma LP) and distributors of OxyContin. They claim that the company knew the prescription painkiller was addictive, failed to tell patients of the risks, marketed the drug inappropriately and touched off an epidemic of abuse.



When should I contact an attorney?
You should contact an experienced OxyContin attorney, such as Brown & Crouppen, immediately if you feel you may have a claim against the manufacturer or distributors of OxyContin, or if you feel your doctor has prescribed the medication to you in error. Also, after contacting your doctor, please contact us if you feel you have become addicted to OxyContin.



Will my OxyContin case go to trial?
Each dangerous drug case is different. Contact an experienced Brown & Crouppen attorney for a free initial consultation where all your pertinent questions will be answered. Once a Brown & Crouppen attorney has evaluated your unique case and begun the legal proceedings, a better determination of if or when you case will go to trial can be determined.
