Yaz Lawsuits
Women who have been harmed by Yaz birth control will likely qualify to seek and recover compensation for their damages via a Yaz lawsuit.
Background Information
Produced by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Yaz (drospirenone) is a birth control pill that claims to be 99.9 percent effective when taken within four hours of the same time each day. Unlike many other contraceptive pills, Yaz may also be prescribed in the treatment of moderate acne and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe form of PMS marked by anxiety, depression and irritability.
Yasmin, which is also produced by Bayer HealthCare, is a form of birth control that contains the same amount of drospirenone as Yaz but less ethinyl estradiol, a bioactive form of estrogen that is in most birth control pills.
Despite being effective at preventing pregnancy, however, both Yaz and Yasmin have been reported to cause some severe, potentially fatal side effects in rare cases. Women who have developed serious health problems after taking Yaz or Yasmin should pursue all necessary medical treatments for the best chances of recovery. Once their health is stable, it will then be crucial that they consult with an experienced defective drug attorney to find out if they have a viable legal claim against Bayer HealthCare and are entitled to seek compensation for their injuries and losses.
Lawsuit for Yaz Injuries
Those who will be eligible to compensation will be women who have sustained a serious side effect while taking Yaz birth control, including:
- Blood clots
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in which blood clots block healthy circulation in the body's deep veins, usually the legs
- Gallbladder problems
- Heart attack
- Pulmonary embolism (PE), in which blood clots lodge in the lungs and dangerously interrupt respiration
- Stroke
Injured women can learn more about their legal rights and get their Yaz birth control lawsuit started by attending a free initial consult with one of our experienced lawyers. Whether the case goes to arbitration, mediation or trial, our defective drug attorneys have the experience to provide injured patients with aggressive, professional representation in any necessary legal proceeding.
Ultimately, those who pursue a Yaz or Yasmin lawsuit can recover compensation for damages, including:
- Outstanding medical bills
- Ongoing treatment costs
- Lost wages
- Permanent disabilities
- Pain and suffering
In Yaz cases involving death, surviving family members will likely qualify to seek and recover compensation for their losses via a wrongful death suit.
Yaz Class Action Lawsuit
Yaz litigation allows for class action lawsuits. Yaz class action lawsuits will be best suited for injured women who:
- Have less serious injuries
- Don't want to be involved in the day-to-day legal process
- Want to ensure they are receiving the same compensation as others that have sustained similar injuries (While personal Yaz birth control lawsuits may pay out more than class action cases, they also have the potential to award less than the standard payout for a particular injury)
Contact Information for Yaz Lawsuit
Securing the services of the right attorney can make the difference in whether a settlement is awarded, as well as how much is recovered. Our Yaz attorneys have experience in handling injury cases involving Yaz and Yasmin and are dedicated to recovering the maximum compensation possible.
Our Yaz lawyers will contact the insurance companies and aggressively go up against Bayer's corporate lawyers. Contacting these people on your own—when you are trying to recover from serious injuries—is not only unnecessary but also unwise, as they are experienced at saving the corporation's dollar and undercutting settlement awards (or finding some legal way to not pay them at all).
To find out more about your legal rights, contact our Yaz/Yasmin lawyers today. We will discuss your specific circumstances in a private, no-obligation consultation and explain all of your legal rights and options.
