Paxil Lawsuits May Resemble Merck Lawsuits
[Posted on May 28]
In 2004, the prescription drug Vioxx was voluntarily taken off the market by its manufacturer, Merck, as this arthritis drug was shown that it had in fact caused serious injuries and even deaths. Although the exact number of deaths caused by Vioxx is unknown, the estimates range in the tens of thousands in America alone. Needless to say, after the dangers of Vioxx were discovered, a number of Merck lawsuits were filed.
Although Merck lawsuits resulted in justice and compensation for some of the victims of the prescription drug Vioxx, these lawsuits weren’t enough to stop the suffering experienced by many of these victims and their families. It can also be said that these lawsuits won’t be the last prescription drug lawsuits which we are likely to see. As a matter of fact, another relatively well-known prescription drug, Paxil, may have also caused a great deal of harm to a number of people as this particular drug was shown to cause serious birth defects if taken by the mother during pregnancy. Although the dangers of taking Paxil during pregnancy are now known, the information regarding the risks wasn’t available immediately after the release of this prescription drug on the market. Because of this possible negligence, a number of families may be raising children with birth defects caused by Paxil, and those who are suffering and believe Paxil to be the cause should come forward in the same manner as those who came forward after being victims of Vioxx.
Without a doubt, if you or your loved one has been seriously harmed and believe the cause to be a prescription drug such as Paxil, then you should not hesitate to come forward with your story. It’s important that you contact an experienced attorney with prescription drug lawsuit experience. Just like those who received compensation and justice after filing Merck lawsuits, it’s possible for you to receive the same kind of justice and appropriate compensation with the help of a qualified attorney. Although pursuing litigation may be a stressful thing to consider, it is the only way in which you and your family can receive the kind of justice that you and they surely deserve.
