Yaz Lawyer Blog Has Been Updated and Redesigned

My Yaz lawyer blog, www.findtherightyazlawyer.com, had gotten a little long in the tooth.  So I updated it and added some fresh content for October 2012 regarding Yaz lawsuits and Yaz settlements.  Here's a taste:

As of October of 2012, Bayer has settled close to 2,000 Yaz lawsuits for close to $500 million dollars. Bayer has set aside hundreds of millions more to settle the roughly 12,000 Yaz lawsuits currently pending.

. . . .

The average Yaz settlement has been about $212,000 to date. Some women receive more, and some women receive less, but that depends upon the extent of the injuries suffered. We are happy to discuss the settlement range with you if you think you may qualify for a Yaz settlement.

Check out the site if you'd like to know more about Yaz lawsuits and settlements.

Asbestos Legal Journal Launches Asbestos Timeline

In my day job, I'm an asbestos and mesothelioma lawyer.  As part of that job, I have to keep track of the various significant events related to asbestos and mesothelioma.  I have a database of hundreds of scientific articles, corporate studies, etc. that track the development of the knowledge that asbestos is harmful.

I've decided not to keep that stuff bottled up and locked in a vault anymore.  So I'm proud to announce the asbestos timeline.  If you'd like to learn about the science behind asbestos sickness, visit the timeline and start reading.

It's got about a dozen entries now, but that's just in the first week.  You'll see five to ten fresh entries each week from here on out.

Zoloft Birth Defect Lawyer - Now Reviewing Cases

Zoloft Birth Defect Lawyer Justinian Lane is currently reviewing potential Zoloft lawsuits on behalf of women who took the drug Zoloft (Sertraline) while pregnant and gave birth to a child with certain types of birth defects.

“Numerous studies from across the globe have shown that taking antidepressants such as Zoloft increase the risk of giving birth to a child with serious health problems,” said Lane. Lane was referring to a variety of studies that link the class of antidepressants known as Selective Serotonin-Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) to an increased risk of birth defects. Those studies have linked the following types of birth defects to use of SSRI drugs such as Zoloft during pregnancy:

 Cleft Palate

Cleft Lip

Craniosynostosis

Anencephaly

Club Foot

Prsistent Primary Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN)

Septal Defects

Atrial Septal Defects (ASD)

Vntricular Septal Defects (VSD)

Pulmonary Valve Stenosis

Tricuspid Valve Stenosis

Aortic Stenosis

Transposition of the Great Arteries

Other Defects

Omphalocele

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Gastroschisis

According to Mr. Lane, the list above is not a complete list of every type of birth defect that Zoloft could cause. “I’m interested in speaking to any woman who took Zoloft while pregnant and who gave birth to a baby who wasn’t perfectly healthy,” said Lane.

Many Zoloft lawsuits have already been filed on behalf of women who gave birth to babies with defects associated with the use of Zoloft. The Zoloft lawsuits have been centralized in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania before Judge Cynthia Rufe. Mr. Lane believes that “the centralization of all Zoloft lawsuits before Judge Rufe offers many advantages for the families of children born with Zoloft birth defects.” Chief among those advantages is the ability for defective drug lawyers like Mr. Lane to pool their resources against Pfizer, the manufacturer of the drug Zoloft.

Zoloft attorney Justinian Lane is the managing attorney of the pharmaceutical division of the award-winning law firm of Ketterman Rowland & Westlund in San Antonio, Texas. He has published additional information about Zoloft and birth defects at his Dangerous Drugs legal journal. He may be contacted directly at justinian@dangerousdrugs.us or via telephone at 888-315-3997. Lane welcomes contact from the parent of any child who may have been harmed by Zoloft. “If your child was born with a birth defect and you’re not sure if Zoloft is to blame, give me a call or e-mail me. I can either help you get justice or give you the peace of mind that Zoloft is not to blame,” said Lane.
