Lawyers are currently talking to individuals who experienced an aortic dissection and believe it may be related to a popular antibiotic they took such as Levaquin, Avelox, Cipro, Noroxin, Floxin or Factive.
Recent studies show a 2-fold increased risk of aortic dissection with use of these popular antibiotics.
Aortic dissection lawyers are filing lawsuits alleging that the public should have been warned of this serious life changing risk, so they could make an informed decision about its use.
No.
Lawsuits being filed against the manufacturers of popular fluoroquinolones such as Levaquin, Cipro, Avelox, Floxin and Active are not class action lawsuits.
We often hear people refer to lawsuits where many people are injured as “class actions”, but that is not the case with the aortic dissection lawsuits.
Aortic dissection lawsuits are being filed on behalf of a large group of people all injured by the same or similar product – fluoroquinolones including Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox, Noroxin, Floxin and Factive.
Lawyers represent each of their clients separately because each person has a different set of injuries and a different medical history.
However, when a common drug injures a large group of people, plaintiff’s lawyers ask the court permission to file a “mass tort” action.
This means that individual cases are grouped together so the attorneys and judge can address common procedural issues initially, saving time for the injured parties and the court later.
No.
The aortic dissection lawsuits are product liability cases.
We are suing the manufacturers of the fluoroquinolones – Levaquin, Avelox, Cipro, Noroxin, Floxin and Factive because we believe the manufacturers did not properly warn consumers of the risks of these drugs.
It is very important that you do your research to make sure you are hiring a lawyer with mass tort experience.
Furthermore, there are a number of very important things that you need to consider when hiring a lawyer for your aortic dissection lawsuit.
