Yasmin Lawsuit - YAZ Lawsuit

Yasmin lawsuits have been initiated across the U.S., as have YAZ lawsuits. The side effects and adverse events associated with these two contraceptives are quite numerous, and women who have suffered ill effects of Yasmin birth control or YAZ use are free to bring a lawsuit as a means of obtaining fair compensation for their losses, which often include:

  • medical treatment for Yasmin/YAZ-induced side effects — such as stroke, DVT, heart attack, depression and more
  • long-term nursing care for injuries — such as pulmonary (lung) or cardiac (heart) damage
  • physical rehabilitation for YAZ/Yasmin-induced problems — e.g., vision, speech or balance problems
  • job rehabilitation — when an injury or illness leaves a woman unable to perform her prior job or engage in her prior level of activity
  • out-of-pocket costs — e.g., for help at home, a nurse's aide, or travel for medical treatment
  • loss of income — both present and future
  • loss of a loved one — compensation for the dependents of a woman who died due to Yasmin or YAZ use
  • funeral and burial costs
  • emotional suffering

Determining the Cause of an Injury or Illness

Dangerous Product Alert:

Many times, when an individual has suffered a severe illness or an acute medical event such as a heart attack, he or she may not be aware that a prescription drug such as Yasmin or YAZ is responsible for the illness/event. The physicians taking care of the new medical problem may also be unaware of the connection. However, Yasmin/YAZ attorneys — such as those at Bernhard Liebhard — are able to help determine whether a woman's use of one of these contraceptives has contributed to the adverse event.

A Yasmin/YAZ Lawsuit May Be Appropriate

After an attorney's thorough investigation of such a potential product liability case, a YAZ or Yasmin lawsuit may or may not be the appropriate step to take. In many cases, a defendant — such as Bayer Healthcare, the maker of both YAZ and Yasmin — would rather a settle a case by offering an amount of money to a plaintiff (the injured party) as compensation for her losses.

However, our YAZ birth control lawyers are seasoned attorneys, familiar with all of the tactics and strategies used by defendants and their insurance companies. Bernhard Liebhard attorneys provide very knowledgeable legal counsel to clients regarding the options and decisions necessary to arrive at a fair, satisfying outcome.
