State and federal laws provide consumers with remedies for prescription drugs with dangerous, undisclosed side effects. The injured person may file a personal injury lawsuit seeking compensation for his or her pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost past and future wages and punitive damages.
Over the last several decades, Lieff Cabraser has been a leader in some of the most important personal injury lawsuits involving recalled prescription drugs.
For example, we successfully represented hundreds of clients who suffered serious heart or lung damage after ingesting the diet drugs fenfluramine (Pondimin) and/or dexfenfluramine (Redux), popularly known as "Fen-Phen." In California, we were appointed to the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee in the California Coordinated Fen-Phen Proceedings. We were also appointed to the Plaintiffs' Management Committee to organize and direct all Fen-Phen cases filed in federal court. On August 28, 2000, in the federal diet drug cases, the United States District Court approved a settlement with American Home Products Corporation, the manufacturer of two diet drugs, valued at $4.75 billion for up to six million consumers.
