Skilled Personal Injury Attorney in Sierra Blanca, TX
Rising high above most of Texas and sitting at 4,520 feet above sea level is the community of Sierra Blanca. Part of Hudspeth County, Sierra Blanca was founded in 1881 after the southern transcontinental railway was completed. At that time, it served as a junction point between the Southern Pacific railroad and the Missouri Pacific railroad.
Those who have skirted along the US-Mexican border on interstate 10 have likely passed through Sierra Blanca and noticed the area’s iconic white tipped mountain. A large portion of the population – which as of the 2010 census was 553 residents – work in service-related occupations which cater to visitors and those who are passing through.
Though small in population, the community has been in the news more than once and often due to drug-related charges. In 2012, singer Fiona apple was arrested for the possession of hashish and marijuana and spent a night in the Sierra Blanca jail. Within weeks, rapper Nelly and his crew were caught harboring 10 pounds of marijuana, heroin and a loaded gun. Armie Hammer, Willie Nelson, and Snoop Dog have also all been arrested for possession of marijuana.
Wrongful Death and Pharmaceuticals: Where Do You Stand?
One of the most common wrongful death claims made in the United States today are those involving what victims believed to be tried, tested, and trustworthy pharmaceutical drugs. These cases typically fall into one of three categories:
- Pharmaceutical drugs which have manufactured defectively: These pharmaceuticals have been improperly manufactured or were tainted throughout the process (this includes during the shipping and labeling process)
- Pharmaceutical drugs which have dangerous side effects: While properly manufactured, these approved pharmaceutical drugs have side effects which result in injury or death. In some situations, defense attorneys are able to prove that the manufacturer of the drug knew it was dangerous, yet deliberately concealed that information.
- Pharmaceutical drugs which are improperly marketed: “Marketing” refers to the instructions, the warnings or the recommendations for use of a drug. Pharmaceuticals which fall into this category did not provide adequate or accurate warnings regarding the usage or side effects of the drug
