How do I find out if my injury is related to a drug or medical device I’m using?
When you suffer from an injury and don’t know what the cause is, the first thing you should do is speak with your doctor to see if it could be due to a drug you were taking, or product you were exposed to.
What do I do If I’m injured on the job?
If you’re injured on the job, first report it to your employer and then contact an attorney.
