Cipro Injury Lawsuits

Investigating antibiotic injury cases nationwide

Recent studies, published by the American Medical Association and prominent medical journals, are concerned that the use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, like Cipro, may be linked with a substantial risk for aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections.

Such health events can lead to fatal aortic ruptures. The available research warns that the use of antibiotics like Cipro (ciprofloxacin) could be associated with an increased risk after immediate treatment, or years after.

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the lining of the aorta—the main artery in the body—is broken down, allowing blood to seep into outside layers of tissue, quickly causing debilitating complications that often lead to death. When the aorta wall ruptures, patients have roughly a 50 percent chance of survival.

Medical scientists compiled data that shows the incidence of aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm in America has risen over the last 30 years, a primary cause of death each year for thousands of unknowing patients. The 2015 studies, published in the Pharmaceutical Journal, identify a logical “association” between fluoroquinolone (Cipro) use and the development of severe aortic disorders.

What Kind of Settlement Can a Cipro Pharmaceutical Injury Lawyer Help You Secure?

A Cipro pharmaceutical injury lawyer can assist you in pursuing various types of settlements and compensation, depending on the specific circumstances of your case. These may include:

  • Medical Expenses: Compensation for past and future medical bills related to the treatment of injuries caused by Cipro, such as hospitalization, surgeries, prescription medications, and rehabilitation.

  • Pain and Suffering: Damages for physical and emotional distress caused by your injuries, which can encompass physical pain, mental anguish, and a diminished quality of life.

  • Lost Wages: Recovery for income you may have lost due to the inability to work while recovering from Cipro-related injuries. This can also include future lost earning potential if your injuries result in a long-term or permanent disability.

  • Wrongful Death: In cases where a loved one has died as a result of Cipro-related injuries, a lawyer can help pursue compensation for the deceased’s medical expenses, funeral costs, and the emotional and financial losses suffered by surviving family members.

  • Punitive Damages: In some cases, punitive damages may be sought to punish the pharmaceutical company responsible for manufacturing and distributing Cipro, especially if their actions are deemed grossly negligent or reckless.

Your Cipro pharmaceutical injury lawyer will evaluate your case’s unique circumstances to determine the most appropriate types of settlements and compensation to seek. 

What Does a Pharmaceutical Injury Attorney Do for Your Case?

A pharmaceutical injury attorney plays a crucial role in helping individuals who have suffered harm or adverse effects due to the use of medications, such as Cipro. Here’s what a pharmaceutical injury attorney can do for your case:

  • Investigation: Attorneys will conduct a thorough investigation to gather evidence that establishes the liability of the pharmaceutical company. This may involve consulting with medical experts and reviewing scientific literature and studies related to the medication.

  • Negotiation: Your attorney will engage in negotiations with the defendant’s legal team or insurance company to seek a fair settlement on your behalf. They will work to maximize your compensation and ensure your rights are protected.

  • Litigation: If a settlement cannot be reached through negotiations, your attorney will represent you in court. They will present your case, including evidence, witnesses, and legal arguments, to a judge and/or jury.

In sum, a pharmaceutical injury attorney is your legal advocate who will use their expertise to navigate the complexities of pharmaceutical injury cases and help you seek justice and compensation for the harm you’ve suffered due to a medication like Cipro.

IN RE: VIOXX

This pharmaceutical case involved claims that the blockbuster painkiller was causing heart attacks and strokes in consumers. The FDA ultimately recalled the medication.

The funds received for Lyon Firm clients helped several elderly clients with additional medical and home health care.

IN RE: TRASYLOL

Nationwide Consolidation in Civil Complex Litigation Center Philadelphia, PA. 

A pharmaceutical case involving claims that a popular surgical medication was causing kidney failure and death.

Bayer resolved certain claims for $60 Million for patients who suffered kidney failure and death as a result of using the drug Trasylol. Joseph Lyon represented a widow from Kentucky whose husband died due to kidney failure following the administration of Trasylol. The recovered funds assisted the surviving family members in resuming farming operations.
