Seroquel Injury Claim - (quetiapine)

Seroquel Drug Defect Claim

AstraZeneca is the manufacturer of the strong drug Seroquel, which is prescribed to treat bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia.  Seroquel was approved by the FDA in 1997 and belongs to a group of drugs called atypical antipsychotic medications.  Bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia are serious brain disorders, usually related directly to a chemical imbalance.  Seroquel has also been prescribed by doctors to treat insomnia, anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post traumatic stress disorder. 

The dangerous side effects associated with Seroquel are serious and can include:

• Tardive Dyskinesia - uncontrollable movements of the face, tongue, and other body parts
• Diabetes and high blood sugar
  
• Birth defects
• Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome - a neurological disorder, causing muscle problems and unstable blood pressure

Consumers taking, or who have taken. Seroquel should be on the lookout for these dangerous side effects and contact a Seroquel injury lawyer.  A product liability lawyer at Schultz Legal Group will be able to determine rather quickly whether you have a Seroquel injury claim against AstraZeneca.

Seroquel Injury Lawyer - Schultz Legal Group

AstraZeneca currently faces over 20,000 lawsuits by consumers who sustained serious injury or death when taking Seroquel.  The current litigation alleges that AstraZeneca failed to warn consumers of the dangerous side effects associated with taking their drug.  Contact Schultz Legal Group today to discuss your Seroquel drug defect claim.  Our lawyers will determine the types of recovery you are entitled to and will advocate aggressively for fair compensation. 

In May 2007, the FDA released a safety bulletin warning consumers taking Seroquel of its dangerous side effects and potential increased tendency for the consumer to experience suicidal thoughts.  Drug manufacturers like AstraZeneca are obligated to design and produce drugs that will not cause serious personal injury or death to consumers.  When drug manufacturers put profits first and safety second, they must be held responsible for the harm caused to innocent consumers.  Claims for failure to warn, product defect, manufacturing defect, and strict liability may all be viable causes of action in a civil court of law.

Contact the Seroquel Injury Lawyers at Schultz Legal Group by calling (866) 840-3636 if you have been victimized by dangerous drug side effects.  A lawyer can meet with you personally to discuss the circumstances of your particular Seroquel claim.
