Ortho Evra Lawsuit Lawyer

Williams Kherkher - Ortho Evra Lawsuit Lawyers Helping You Proceed

If you decide to meet with an Ortho Evra lawsuit lawyer, you need to understand before getting started that he or she will have a lot of analysis to complete. Included in the analysis that your Ortho Evra lawsuit lawyer will need to do is investigating when you started using the patch, why you started using the patch, how long you used it, when you started to experience side effects and what medical steps were taken, if any, as a result of the development of these side effects.

Perhaps the biggest question that your Ortho Evra lawsuit lawyer will have to answer, however, is whom the defendants will be if you decide to file suit. Below is a look at the potential defendants in a hypothetical case.

Potential Defendant - The Manufacturer

In almost any case where a product is found to be dangerous, the manufacturer is going to be named as a defendant in the lawsuit unless it can be proven that the injuries in question were caused by clear misuse of the product. The patch is manufactured by Ortho McNeil Pharmaceuticals, and the company is potentially responsible for almost any injury that occurs as a result of this product.

Potential Defendant - Your Doctor

In certain situations, your doctor could be potentially liable for your injuries, but that depends on the facts of your situation. A doctor is almost always involved in the use of the Ortho Evra birth control patch, as this product is only available via prescription. However, if the doctor knew or should have known of the potential of serious risks in place that would arise as a result of your use of the Ortho Evra patch, he or she may have to answer for the decision to prescribe it anyway.

Overall, there is no easy and uniform answer as to the potential defendants in a lawsuit such as this one. That's why you need to contact an Ortho Evra lawsuit lawyer at Williams Kherkher to schedule a free initial consultation. It's time to get the answers you deserve.
