Atlanta Dangerous Prescription Drug Attorney

Unprescribed, illegal drugs cause untold heartache and manufacturers of such drugs receive harsh punishments. But what about those who legally manufacture prescription drugs that have been proven to have dangerous side effects? Should the victims pay the price for lax regulations and withheld data?
