Were You Injured by a Defective Drug?

A Class Action Lawsuit May be in the Works

When a company manufactures a product or a drug that causes serious injury or death to many people, what can you do to hold that company accountable? How can you stop more injuries from occurring? How can you get justice?

One tool to level the playing field against a large corporation is a class action lawsuit. In a class action lawsuit, one person or a small group of people can sue on behalf of thousands of other people who suffered similar injuries from a product or drug. Any number of qualified people can join in a class action case if they qualify.

Defective drugs, defective medical products, and defective consumer products are the most common type of personal injury class action case.

If you think that you have a potential class action claim, contact a personal injury attorney at Panter, Panter & Sampedro. Our attorneys have successfully brought class action lawsuits involving defective drugs that had been the subject of FDA recalls.

Causes of Class Actions

Class action lawsuits can be brought because drugs have been found to be dangerous, or ineffective, negligently manufactured, or marketed for unapproved uses. (In cases where the drug was ineffective, the class action may be for financial losses rather than medical problems). Some of the drugs currently being considered for drug class action cases include:

• Risperdal (illegal marketing)
• Contaminated heparin
• Avandia (linked to heart attacks and bone fracture0
• Celebrex (linked to increase risk of heart attack, stroke and death)
• Prempro (linked to increase risk of breast cancer, stroke, blood clots and heart attack)
• Advair (linked to increase risk of severe asthma episodes)
• Zyprexa (linked to increase risk of diabetes and death)
• Levaquin (linked to increase risk of tendon rupture)
• Ortho Evra (linked to increase risk of risk of blood clots)
• Organon's vaginal contraceptive Nuvaring (linked to increase risk of blood clotting)
• Chantix (linked to increase risk of suicidal violent behavior)
