There are a number of serious injuries which have been attributed to Yaz and Yasmin. Some of the most serious involve venous clots, which cause injuries such as pulmonary embolism, deep vein thromboses (DVT), and cerebral venous thromboembolism (CVT). Bayer has finally been forced to recognize its failure to warn about the increased risks of these injuries, and has begun to settle these cases. These were the first types of cases that were set for trial, and now are in the process of being resolved. This resolution process will take at least another 6 months.
The second type of case involves arterial strokes, which are blood clots in the arteries. So far Bayer has not yet offered to settle these cases; however we believe these cases have merit and intend to continue to pursue them to trial if a fair settlement offer is not forthcoming.
The third type of cases are those involving pancreatitis and gall bladder injuries. These were the next cases scheduled for trial. We believe these cases have merit as well; however to date Bayer has not offered to resolve these cases.
Women who have suffered these injuries and have brought claims need to be patient as the litigation enters its final stages. Your attorney will contact you as soon as there is an opportunity to discuss resolution of your claim. If you do not have an attorney yet but have suffered pancreatitis or a blood clot while on Yaz or Yasmin, you should immediately hire an attorney in order that a claim can be brought.
It is still not too late but time is critical. You can reach us toll free at 888-841-9623.
