Can drug companies be sued

Yes, drug companies can be sued for various reasons, including negligence, product liability, or failure to warn about potential side effects. Patients or consumers may file lawsuits if they believe a drug caused harm or if the company engaged in deceptive practices. However, the legal landscape is complex, as companies often have legal protections and the ability to contest claims vigorously. Additionally, some lawsuits may be subject to specific regulations, such as those governing pharmaceutical patents and federal approvals.
