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
