Recent Lawsuits in San Diego
We are reviewing potential lawsuits in San Diego and surrounding areas involving the following drugs and medical devices:
- Zofran
- Xarelto
- Morcellators
- Vaginal Mesh
San Diego Zofran Lawyer - The FDA approved Zofran (ondansetron) to treat nausea in patients following surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Since 1998, however, the manufacturer is believed to have promoted the drug "off label" to treat morning sickness in pregnant women. Evidence now shows a higher incidence of birth defects in newborns whose mothers used Zofran during pregnancy.
Birth defects associated with Zofran include atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), heart murmer, craniosynostosis, gastroschisis, and other congenital malformations.
To file a Zofran lawsuit in San Diego, we invite you to contact our office for a confidential review of your case. All consultations are provided at no cost and with no obligation to pursue a claim.
San Diego Xarelto Lawyer - The blood thinner Xarelto (rivaroxaban) has been linked to severe internal bleeding injuries. Since Xarelto bleeding events have no means of reversal once they occur, these injuries are often life-threatening. Specific side effects include gastrointestinal bleed, intracranial hemorrhage, and stroke.
Evidence suggests the manufacturer of Xarelto failed to properly disclose significant safety concerns while at the same time promoting the drug as superior to other blood thinners such as Warfarin.
If you have questions about filing a Xarelto lawsuit in San Diego, contact our experienced drug injury lawyers for a free and confidential review of your case.
San Diego Morcellators Lawyer - Power morcellators are surgical tools used to remove uterine fibroids. The devices are known to spread uterine cancer in some patients, yet most women were never warned of the potential risk before surgery. In November 2014, the FDA issued nationwide safety warnings about the cancer-spreading risk of power morcellators and advised against use of the devices in almost all cases.
Lawsuits are now underway to compensate women diagnosed with advanced stage cancer following laparoscopic myomectomy or hysterectomy procedures that involved morcellation.
If you have questions about filing a morcellators lawsuit in San Diego, we invite you to consult our experienced medical device attorneys at no cost.
San Diego Vaginal Mesh Lawyer - In April 2014, the FDA issued safety warnings to San Diego and other U.S. consumers about serious health risks associated with vaginal mesh implants.
Vaginal mesh has been widely used in surgical procedures to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). But a growing number of women report serious complications such as erosion, perforation of organs, pain with intercourse, recurrent prolapse, and multiple revision surgeries.
Over 70,000 women have filed lawsuits against the device manufacturers, with settlement negotiations now underway. If you have questions about filing a vaginal mesh lawsuit in San Diego, we invite you to contact our firm at (866) 808-2424 or online for a free and confidential evaluation of your case.
Drug and Medical Device Defects
The global drug and medical device market is valued at over $500 billion per year. In this highly competitive business, manufacturers can be reluctant to issue a recall for a profitable medication or device despite known safety concerns. At the same time, government regulators do not have sufficient resources to independently verify the safety and efficacy of every drug and device on the market. This often leaves patients in harm’s way. Our law firm is committed to raising awareness about defective drugs and devices and securing compensation for victims of unnecessary side effects and suffering.

With our firm’s No-Fee Policy, you will not pay any out-of-pocket legal fees or expenses during your case.
