Heparin Lawyer

A heparin lawyer protects the rights of people who have been harmed by heparin, a very widely used anti-clotting drug. The number of patients whose treatment with this anticoagulant has resulted in allergic reactions, severe side effects, and death is difficult to estimate, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration stated in March 2008 that since Jan. 1, 2007, it had received reports of:

  • 785 serious medical events that are linked to heparin treatment
  • 19 deaths that may have been caused by a reaction to heparin

Why File a Heparin Lawsuit

When a patient has received the wrong dose of heparin or has been treated with contaminated heparin, severe and even life-threatening reactions may be the result, such as:

  • Respiratory difficulties
  • Nausea, vomiting
  • Severe chest pain
  • A drop in blood pressure

Significant medical trauma from heparin overdose or allergic reaction and the resulting hospital bills can be overwhelming. The loss of a loved one whose death is due to heparin is a huge blow, as is the loss of one's job due to an adverse reaction to a drug that was intended to be beneficial. The purpose of a lawsuit against the maker of the heparin and/or the healthcare facility that administered it is to obtain financial compensation for such losses.

Heparin Lawyers Uphold Victims' Rights

When a patient is harmed due to medical malpractice or a defective drug, he or she has the right to file a lawsuit to recover damages incurred, such as:

  • Medical bills
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages and future income
  • Loss of a loved one
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Pain and suffering

A heparin lawyer helps victims obtain the financial compensation they deserve.
