subject: The Link Between Paxil And Spina Bifida Is Leading To Lawsuits From Former Patients [print this page] After several years of research, it's now well known that there are a number of health problems in newborns that can be linked to Paxil use by the mother during pregnancy. They include a wide range of conditions, including congenital heart diseases and physical deformities but among the most severe are neural tube defects like spina bifida. When a family learns that their baby has been born with spina bifida, their first concern is the immediate treatment of these conditions in order to ensure the long term health of the child.
The child may need to undergo surgery and possibly ongoing care to treat their spina bifida. The resulting medical bills often present financial challenges for these families as they struggle to afford these expenses. As they've learned of studies that point to the connection between spina bifida and Paxil use, these victims want to know if they have grounds for a Paxil lawsuit. They feel that the makers of the drug should be held accountable for the damage that's been done and find that the only way to force that accountability is through a Paxil lawsuit.
Speaking with a Paxil attorney with experience representing clients in litigation against the makers of the medication, GlaxoSmithKline, is the first step that should be taken when considering filing a prescription drug lawsuit. Only a Paxil attorney that understands the research done on the medication and the connection to spina bifida can properly assess the strength of a potential case. By contacting the Law Offices of Chandler, Mathis, & Zivley, PC, former Paxil patients can receive a free legal consultation with an attorney that has previously represented clients in Paxil lawsuits.
GlaxoSmithKline has now faced a number of pharmaceutical lawsuits related to Paxil and will do whatever they can to deter others from filing a prescription drug lawsuit. They have legal teams ready to take on these cases and try to get them dismissed. This is why it is extremely important that if you're considering legal action that you have a lawyer who knows how to build and present these types of cases so that you are treated fairly and receive the justice that is due to you, which could include financial compensation that you're entitled to. Chandler, Mathis, & Zivley have a proven record of success in these cases and they can help you get the assistance you need in paying for your child's spina bifida treatment.
