How to File Your Zofran Claim

Zofran (ondansetron) is a prescription anti-nausea medication linked to serious birth defects in newborns. Evidence suggests the manufacturer promoted the drug as a safe and effective treatment for morning sickness without FDA approval and without conducting clinical trials. Lawsuits are now underway to compensate mothers and their families for heart defects, orofacial clefts, and other congenital malformations.

Step-by-Step Guide: Zofran Lawsuit

A drug recall has not been issued for Zofran, nor has a settlement program been established for birth defect victims. This means you must file a lawsuit if you wish to recover legal damages from the manufacturer.

1. The first step in any Zofran case is to obtain a case review from a knowledgeable drug injury lawyer. Our Zofran attorneys have over 25 years’ experience in this complex area of law and provide consultations at no cost.
2. After an initial consultation, your lawyer will review the relevant medical records to confirm that your Zofran prescription and resulting birth defects are adequately documented.
3. Following a review of your records, your attorney will advise you on the appropriate legal strategy for your case. This will include the venue in which to file your case, and how to prepare your claim for settlement negotiations.
4. Once litigation begins in your case, you are not likely to experience significant demands on your time. Your lawyer will have the information needed to carry your Zofran claim forward and will keep you informed of all developments in your case.
5. Most Zofran cases will not proceed to a jury trial. The majority of lawsuits are resolved through settlement negotiations or other pretrial procedures. You and your lawyer will review any settlement offers together, and your case will only be resolved if you find the terms agreeable.
6. In the rare event your case goes to trial, your attorney will discuss in detail what additional actions may be required of you and your family.
7. You will not be required to pay out-of-pocket legal fees or expenses at any time during your case. Our firm represents Zofran clients on a no-fee, contingency basis wherein our fees and costs are recovered only as a percentage of any favorable result we achieve at the end of your lawsuit.
