Levaquin® Lawsuits

(800) 889-3898

Levaquin® lawsuits are product liability, personal injury cases in which individuals injured after taking the antibiotic known as Levaquin® seek settlements for their injuries, losses and suffering. Levaquin® has been linked to several serious, potentially fatal side effects that warrant compensation for medical bills, treatment costs, physical disfigurement, lost wages and inability to pursue a normal course of employment, and emotional pain and suffering.

Anyone injured after taking Levaquin®, as well as families of deceased Levaquin® patients, should contact us today to determine whether they are eligible to file a Levaquin® lawsuit.

What is Levaquin®?

Produced by PriCara and Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceuticals, Levaquin® is a fluoroquinolone antiobiotic that can be effect at treating a range of bacterial infections, including:

  • anthrax inhalation
  • bladder, kidney and urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • bronchitis
  • Chlamydia
  • pneumonia
  • prostate infections
  • sinus infections
  • skin infections

However, despite being an effective, widely used antibiotic for over 20 years, Levaquin® is known to cause a number of serious, life-threatening side effects.

Causes of Levaquin® Suits: Levaquin® Side Effects

While most patients will only experience minor (if any) Levaquin® side effects, on rare occasion, some will develop serious Levaquin® side effects, including:

  • agranulocytosis, a dangerous decrease in white blood cell levels
  • arrhythmias, irregular heartbeat
  • autoimmune hemolytic anemia, in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks red blood cells
  • blood clotting disorders, characterized by swelling and tenderness at the site of the clot
  • dysglemia, a disorder of blood sugar metabolism
  • epilepsy, seizures
  • hepatotoxicity, liver damage marked by dark urine and yellowing of the whites of the eyes
  • peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage marked by tingling, pain or numbness
  • renal toxicity, kidney damage characterized by bloody urine and excessive fatigue
  • severe allergic reaction, marked by hives, skin rash and facial or tongue swelling
  • tendinopathy, an injury or tear affecting the tendon
  • thrombocytopenia, low levels of blood platelets that can cause excessive bleeding
  • toxic epidermal necrolysis, in which the top layers of skin separate from the skin’s internal layers

To minimize the risk of developing potentially fatal Levaquin® side effects, it’s essential that individuals:

  • Discuss their complete medical history with their doctor before starting a course of Levaquin® medication.
  • Understand the types and symptoms of severe Levaquin® side effects so they know when to seek emergency medical care.
  • Seek immediate medical attention should signs of serious Levaquin® complications arise.

Levaquin® Class Action lawsuits

Levaquin® class action lawsuits represent a similar legal claim among a number of plaintiffs who have decided to pool their grievances to expedite the legal proceedings. In most cases, Levaquin® class action suits are better suited for plaintiffs who:

  • have less serious injuries
  • don’t want to be extensively involved in the legal process associated with Levaquin® lawsuits

want to ensure that they win a settlement that is equal to those awarded in cases similar to their own
