Avandia® Lawsuits

(800) 722-0513 

Avandia® lawsuits are personal injury cases in which patients injured after taking the Avandia® prescription medication seek compensation from GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Avandia®. Whether filed as an individual claim or an Avandia® class action case, Avandia® lawsuits can win settlements for affected patients by proving that:

• A patient's injuries were caused by taking Avandia®.
• GlaxoSmithKline knew about severe Avandia® side effects and failed to disclose them to the FDA and the general public.

Avandia® patients who develop one (or more) of the following conditions will likely have a viable legal claim and will be entitled to compensation for their injuries:

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

Families of patients who have died due to Avandia® complications will also be entitled to monetary settlements for their loss. In such instances of Avandia® death, it's typically a better idea to file an individual lawsuit, rather than join a class action case.

How to Start an Avandia® Lawsuit

The first step to starting an Avandia® lawsuit is to meet with a personal injury lawyer for an initial consultation. During this meeting, injured Avandia® patients can:

• Find out if they have a provable case against GlaxoSmithKline.
• Learn about the process of building and winning Avandia® lawsuits.
• Get information about proceedings of and settlements in cases similar to their own.
• Determine whether filing an individual case or joining a class action suit is best for their circumstances.

As an added incentive for prospective plaintiffs to stand up for their legal rights, most Avandia® lawyers don't charge for these initial consultations.

Benefits of Working with Avandia® Litigation Lawyers

Once patients learn they have a legal claim and decide to pursue an Avandia® lawsuit, it's a good idea to find an experienced personal injury lawyer to represent them in a professional manner.

Studies indicate that plaintiffs are far more likely to win larger settlements if they work with an experienced lawyer, as these professionals can:

• Find credible experts to testify in legal proceedings and help prove the patient's case.
• Effectively negotiate with corporate lawyers for GlaxoSmithKline.
• Research similar cases so that they are sure to get the proper compensation for the severity and type of a patient's injuries.

To further encourage patients to start their cases, most Avandia® lawyers work on contingency – meaning that plaintiffs won't have to pay for legal services until (or, in some cases, unless) they win a settlement.
