Duract, an anti-inflammatory prescription drug, has been pulled off the market after widespread reports of severe liver damage. As a patient injured by this unsafe medicine, Oliver can bring a products liability claim, either in a private or a class action suit, and recover monetary damages for all expenses and losses resulting from the consumption of Duract. Among the damages he may seek are emotional distress damages, loss of future earning capacity, lost wages, future and past pain and suffering, as well as future and past medical expenses.
