Imagine you are a young man taking an over-the-counter drug to help you lose weight. While taking the drug you suffer multiple strokes. Nobody knows why you suffered the strokes, so you accept it as just another medical burden and continue on with your life. Now fast forward four years later and new scientific research comes out showing that the weight loss drug you took probably caused your stroke. Up until this month you could not file a lawsuit against the drug company in New York when the science finally caught up to your injury.
