| Posted By Schultz Legal Group |
 |
Our Reglan injury lawyers are currently investigating hundreds of claims by Reglan users that this drug has caused serious and dangerous side effects. The most serious side effect, Tardive Dyskinesia (TD), is one claim we are investigating in particular. Tardive Dyskinesia caused by Reglan is an irreversible movement disorder that is commonly recognized by exhibiting the following symptoms:
- Lip smacking
- Facial grimacing
- Involuntary movement of the cheek bones and mouth
- Eye twitching
- Involuntary arm and leg movements
- Communication problems
The FDA recently issued the makers of Reglan a Black Box Warning, which is the highest warning issued to drug manufacturers. This particular warning was in regards to the direct link of Reglan use to Tardive Dyskinesia.
Users of Reglan are urged to contact our Reglan Injury Claim toll-free hotline at (866) 840-3636 to speak with a Reglan injury lawyer immediately. Our Reglan lawyers will file a Reglan compensation claim if you meet our standards for legal representation. Qualification is primarily based upon a review of your medical records, treatment, diagnosis and Relgan prescription history.
Our nationwide Reglan injury lawyers work on contingency fee, meaning there are absolutely no attorneys fees collected unless we win your case. Therefore, there will never be a charge to request and review a Reglan client's medical records, treatment, and diagnosis. If a potential Reglan user does not meet our legal standards for representation, there will be absolutely no attorneys' fees charged. Don't wait for your TD to get worse, contact a Reglan injury lawyer and file your Reglan settlement claim for compensation. TD is an irreversible, disturbing disorder that will affect almost every aspect of a Reglan user's life. Future quality of life is in question. Don't let this manfuacturer get off the hook.

| Drug Recall Lawyer Discusses Defective Drug Claims and Dangerous Drug Claims |
| Posted By Schultz Legal Group |
|
As a defective drug lawyer who handles defective drug injury claims, I know how victimized injury victims feel helpless at the hands of big pharmaceutical corporations. These large drug companies are well funded and defend injury claims now matter what the cost to the shareholders or victims themselves. When it comes time to fight these drug companies in court, our lawyers are aggressive and refuse to back down no matter how intimidating the battle may become. The great thing about courts of law are that they are the ultimate equalizer of power. Piers of the injury victims sit on a jury and are representative of the community. The jury has the power to change the future for the community and the country. A verdict against a major drug company makes a serious statement: We won't stand for corporate greed to wash out safety for the consumer.
Drug recall injury claims are complicated legal cases involving a battle of the experts. Physicians and chemists are often retained by both the plaintiff and the defendant to prove their case. These experts are an expensive but necessary component of each claim. After all, your case will never make it to the jury without proof of negligent or reckless conduct. The drug recall lawyer is not enough. It takes a small army of experts to convince a judge and jury that negligence did in fact take place.
Contact a drug recall lawyer at Schultz Legal Group if you suspect that a drug has caused you serious harm or injury. Our nationwide injury lawyers will investigate your drug recall claim by requesting medical records from your doctors and presenting them to our experts for review. Contact a nationwide drug recall lawyer by calling our drug recall injury claim hotline at (866) 840-3636. Don't be victimized twice.

| Yaz Lawyers Consolidate Yaz Lawsuits and Yaz Injury Claims in Illinois Court |
| Posted By Schultz Legal Group |
|
The leading attorneys for Yaz claims and Yasmin claims have consolidated these nationwide injury cases to federal court in Illinois. Yaz is a female birth control prescription drug that gained popularity in the early 2000's in the United States. Women found it effective and soon several hundred thousand prescriptions were ordered throughout the country. However, Yaz has dangerous side effects which can lead to serious injuries, including blood clots, heart attack, stroke, liver failure, and death.
Yaz lawsuits and Yasmin lawsuits are accumulating following three warning letters sent to Bayer Corporation by the Federal Food & Drug Administration. These warning letters put Bayer on notice of compliance issues and health dangers associated with Yaz. A 2009 letter to Bayer addressed a lack of disclosure of known risks in its television marketing ad campaigns.
If you have been injured while taking Yaz, it is important to contact a Yaz lawyer immediately to discuss your right to compensation. These cases are being consolidated right in our back door and our co-counsel has been designated as the lead attorneys for these cases. Yaz injury claims and Yasmin injury claims, if proven, entitle the victim to compensation in federal court.

| Types of Compensation Available in a Drug Recall Injury Claim |
| Posted By Schultz Legal Group |
|
All personal injury claims typically involve similar forms of compensation available to the victim. However, claims involving a defective drug or dangerous drug side effects do involve varying types of compensation. Almost everyone has taken prescription medication at some point in their lives. Many Americans depend on a regular regime of prescription drugs in order to manage or control serious ailments and infirmities. This level of dependency can create unforeseen health hazards, especially when large, well-funded pharmaceutical companies choose not to adequately test their product prior to introduction to the market, or when they purposely withhold health warnings in an effort to increase profits.
Most drug recall injury cases involve a permanent side effect that will require extensive future medical care to treat. In these cases, a drug recall lawyer must seek the compensation necessary to fund future medical care. The cost of future medical care in these cases can easily approach $100,000, which is why it is necessary for your lawyer to obtain a clear picture of what is to come. To do so, your attorney will retain experts in the fields of medicine and economics. Medical experts will be used to qualify what type of future medical care is needed, which economic experts will put the cost of that future care into "today's dollars." Without the use of these experts, a drug side-effect injury victim will never obtain fair compensation for a claim.
In addition to future medical car costs, a victim is also entitled to compensation for lost wages and a loss of future earning capacity. For example, in claims involving Reglan, Seroquel, and other drugs, a victim can be diagnosed with Tardive Dyskinesia. Diagnosis of tardive dyskinesia is tragic and will cause the victim a future riddled with medical problems, including uncontrollable facial movements and twitching. Tardive dyskinesia victims commonly lose their jobs due to inability to control their facial movements. In these cases, it is particularly important for the drug recall lawyer to hire a vocational rehabilitation expert to explain the future wage loss and loss of earning capacity that can make up a large part of any tardive dyskinesia claim. |

| Posted By Schultz Legal Group |
|
In January, 2009, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) mandated a "Black Box" warning for the potent drug Reglan, which is also known as metoclopramide. Reglan is a drug used to treat several forms of gastrointestinal disorders, including acid reflux and heartburn. A Black Box warning is the strongest warning issued by the FDA, and in the case of Reglan, the government is of the opinion that Reglan can cause a severe movement disorder known as tardive dyskinesia.
Tardive dyskinesia claims resulting from long-term Reglan use regularly exhibit the following symptoms:
- random involuntary movement of the tongue
- twitching of the facial muscles
- facial grimacing
- teeth clenching
- lips smacking
- uncontrolled swaying of the hips and lower torso
Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder that is rarely reversible, leaving the Reglan victim with a lifetime of embarrassment. The devastating effects of tardive dyskinesia can cause a victim to lose his/her job and compromise personal relationships. Contact a Reglan Tardive Dyskinesia Injury Lawyer immediately if you are experiencing any of the these symptoms.

| I need a drug defect or drug recall lawyer to file my claim for compensation. |
| Posted By Schultz Legal Group |
|
When patients are prescribed medications for their infirmities, there is a certain degree of trust that is exchanged between the doctor, pharmaceutical company, and the patient. That trust is compromised each day due to a desire for corporate profits. Most manufacturers of prescription drugs will defend injury claims vigorously. They do this because they are extremely well-funded and have a keen interest in keeping serious side effects under wraps. If you have been injured or have a loved one who died due to the negligent design and manufacturing practices of a large drug corporation, you may be entitled to compensation by filing a drug defect injury claim.
A drug recall lawyer will request medical records and opinion reports from doctors. These records and reports are presented to drug manufacturer and its insurance carrier in the form of a demand for compensation. The vast majority of
drug side effect injury claims are settled prior to trial. Many of these cases are prosecuted nationally in multi-district litigation, otherwise known as MDL.
Serious injuries and even death can occur when drug manufacturers fail to adequately test their products prior to introduction to market. However, it is more reckless when these manufacturers continue to distribute a dangerous drug after the FDA issues serious concerns about its safety. Contact a drug recall lawyer immediately if you suspect that a prescription medication has caused you serious injury.
