Your Doctor is Not the One to Sue When Faced With Paxil Problems


There is a Difference Between Medical Malpractice and Negligence

When you or your baby is hurt by a drug like Paxil, you may hesitate to file a lawsuit because you don't want to sue your doctor.

When a drug turns out to be dangerous and you get involved in legal action, you will not be filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, and will not be suing your doctor.

One of the purposes of a lawsuit is to punish the person or company responsible for your injuries and suffering. As long as your doctor prescribed Paxil to you appropriately, he or she is not at fault for injuries suffered by you or your baby.

In some cases however, GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Paxil, may be guilty of negligence for telling doctors and patients about the dangerous side effects of their drug far too late for far too many babies who now have birth defects and holes in their hearts.
