Avandia® Attorney

(800) 722-0513 

An Avandia® attorney is a professional personal injury lawyer who specializes in building cases and winning settlements for those injured after taking Avandia® drug. Distributed since 1999 by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Avandia® is an oral medication for type-2 diabetes that has been known to increase patients' risks of developing a range of serious side effects.

 

In fact, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that patients taking Avandia® were up to 40 percent more likely (than those taking placebos) of developing the following serious Avandia® side effects:

 

• stroke
• congestive heart failure
• heart attack
• liver toxicity
• severe allergic reactions

 

In March and May 2007, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued two national Avandia® warnings, alerting the public of such life threatening Avandia® side effects. However, despite these Avandia® alerts, some patients have been or will be injured after taking Avandia®.

 

For such injured patients, it's essential to:

• Get immediate medical care to prevent further, possibly fatal complications.
• Meet with an Avandia® injury lawyer, following necessary treatments, to evaluate whether you have a viable legal claim against GSK and are entitled to compensation for your injuries.

 

Initial Consultations with Avandia® Lawyers

During an initial consultation with an Avandia® drug attorney, prospective plaintiffs will get a chance to:

 

• Evaluate their case.
• Find out about settlements in cases similar to their own.
• Learn more about the process of filing and following through with a personal injury lawsuit.
• Decide whether they want to pursue their claim via an individual case or a class-action lawsuit.

 

Most Avandia® attorneys don't charge fees for these initial consultations, as they want to encourage more injured patients to evaluate and pursue their cases.

 

Benefits of Working with Avandia® Attorneys

By hiring an experienced Avandia® lawyer to help you with your case, you will benefit from:

• Access to a network of experts (including medical professionals) who can testify in court to verify your claims
• Professional representation in court, mediation and/or arbitration proceedings
• Help dealing with insurance representatives and negotiating with GSK's corporate lawyers
• Delayed payment for legal services, as most Avandia® attorneys work on contingency (so payment is only due when an Avandia® settlement is reached).

 

Although the process of compiling and following through with an Avandia® lawsuit can be long and tedious, in the end, it can win you compensation for your:

 

• prior and future medical bills
• necessary ongoing treatments, should Avandia® side effects require long-term care
• living expenses, should you be unable to work for some period of time
• emotional pain and suffering
