Lawsuits regarding the side effects of Botox injections (whether used for cosmetic or medical purposes) have arisen. The tragedy of a death or a serious permanent injury following treatment for facial wrinkles, migraine headaches or another Botox indication can be addressed by a legal remedy. A Botox attorney has the knowledge and skills to effectively protect the rights of the injured.
The type of damages for which a Botox attorney strives to obtain compensation — whether in the form of a negotiated settlement or a litigated court award — include:
It is the defendant(s) in a successful lawsuit who would pay the compensation for an injured patient's losses (or for a family's loss of a loved one). The defendants may include the Botox manufacturer, a physician or healthcare facility, one or more insurance companies, and others.
The makers of Botox — Allergan — make over one billion dollars in sales of Botox injections every year. Allergan recently received a direction from the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) that the packaging and Prescribing Information for Botox products must now carry a bold-font "black box" warning to consumers and physicians about a serious risk of Botox treatment:
The botulinum toxin in Botox injections may "migrate" from the site of the injection to other parts of the body, causing severe adverse reactions such as respiratory and swallowing difficulties.
Of course, Allergan, physicians, and insurance companies all have their own attorneys who job it is to fight allegations that Botox treatment has hurt anyone. When an individual patient suffers serious harm from Botox injections, he or she truly needs a Botox plaintiffs' attorney to "level the playing field" and protect his or her legal rights.
