Ortho Evra® Attorney

The Ortho Evra® birth control patch entered the U.S. market in 2001 amid much enthusiasm. Aggressively promoted by Johnson & Johnson and Ortho McNeil, the patch was touted as a safe and convenient alternative to oral contraceptives. What the advertisements did not say, however, was that Ortho Evra® exposes users to 60 percent more estrogen than the pill and increases the risk of potentially fatal blood clots by as much as threefold.

If You Developed a Blood Clot…

As a result of using the Ortho Evra® birth control patch, it is important to understand that you have legal rights. Reports indicate that the risk of blood clots and death associated with the Ortho Evra® birth control patch were known prior to its approval, but it wasn’t until 2005 that the drug’s labeling was updated to reflect this risk.

By contacting an Ortho Evra® attorney, you can ensure your legal rights are protected. You may be able to hold the drug’s maker liable for your damages, including:

• Monetary expenses such as medical bills and rehabilitation costs
• Pain, suffering, and mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Lost wages and/or earning capacity

An Ortho Evra® attorney can guide you through the legal process and ensure you receive the compensation and justice you deserve for your injuries.

If Your Loved One Died…

Because of an Ortho Evra® side effect, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Recoverable damages may include loss of companionship, society and/or support, pain and suffering, and mental anguish, among other things. An Ortho Evra® attorney can determine whether or not you’re eligible to file a claim.

Ortho Evra® Litigation

Since its approval, more than five million women have been prescribed the Ortho Evra® birth control patch. Some of these users have suffered serious injury and some have even died.

Currently, numerous Ortho Evra® lawsuits are pending trial in U.S. courts. If you think you have a case and would like to find out more about your legal rights, you should consult with an Ortho Evra® attorney as soon as possible—a statute of limitations restricts the time you have to file a claim.
