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
