Communication key when dealing with a Yaz birth control injury

Filing a lawsuit after you have been injured by the negligence of another person can be daunting; especially at a time when all you want to do is focus on regaining your health.

The lawsuits against Bayer, the maker of Yaz birth control, have been especially tough to deal with. A number of young, previously healthy women are facing serious injuries that no one their age should have to endure. Gallbladder disease, stroke, pulmonary embolisms and strokes have threatened the lives and health of countless women across the U.S. – women who still continue to face health issues and must deal with the financial and emotional aftermath that the Yaz birth control injury has caused.

Many have filed claims against Bayer Corporation, in hopes of recouping the costs associated with these injuries, including medical bills, lost wages, future medical costs as well as pain and suffering. The lawsuits have been consolidated into a Multidistrict Litigation, or “MDL,” in the U.S. Federal Court for the Southern District of Illinois U.S. District Court with Judge David R. Herndon presiding over the cases.

As with any lawsuit, one of the key ways to help you stay informed about what is going on in your case is to openly communicate with your attorney. Lawyers involved in multidistrict litigation are up against mass amounts of paperwork, strict deadlines and judges’ orders, and most strive to provide excellent customer service to their clients.

At Zoll, Kranz and Borgess, one of the ways we strive to do provide exceptional service is through this blog on Yaz birth control, in order to provide both clients and the community with information on adverse side effects from the drug, updates on the MDL, orders made by Judge Herndon, and more.

In addition to frequently checking back to this site, women who have lawsuits filed against Bayer are encouraged to contact their attorney any time there is a life change that may be pertinent to your case. Good times to check in with your lawyer include:

- Anytime you move or change your phone number

- If your name changes due to marriage or divorce

- After the birth of a child

- After any developments in your medical treatment

- If you have any questions pertaining to your claim
