Avandia personal injury lawsuits claim that the plaintiffs had heart attacks or developed heart failure, primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) or other serious heart problems caused from taking Avandia. Thevery drug that was supposed to manage the symptoms of diabetes caused a more serious and fatal heart condition.
How many Avandia lawsuits have been filed? At this time, that number is unknown but when you think that possibly 83,000 heart attacks may have been caused from Avandia, you get an idea about the scope of possible personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. While it’s difficult to say how many Avandia claims have been filed in the United States, many more Avandia lawsuits will be filed in Europe, Canada, and other parts of the globe where approximately 7 million Avandia users live.
You may feel powerless going up against a billion dollar corporation but when thousands of people tell their stories of what happened to loved ones who trusted their doctors advice, who believed in Avandia—the facts will speak for themselves.
Avandia class action lawsuits may not be far behind as attorneys determine the best way to handle the thousands of forthcoming lawsuits. An Avandia class-action lawsuit would combine thousands of lawsuits brought by people who suffered from similar situations, allowing them to pool resources and recover substantially more money from GlaxoSmithKline, Avandia’s manufacturer, than they could recover as individuals.
An Avandia class action lawsuit would seek to garner compensation for wrongful death, financial debt caused by loss of life or medical bills, and emotional distress.
An Avandia class action lawsuit would hold GlaxoSmithKline legally responsible for failing to alert doctors and the public about the dangers of Avandia when they were first aware of the serious heart failure side effects in 1999.
An Avandia class action lawsuit would take Avandia off the market so no one else would ever suffer serious heart problems from taking diabetes medication.
