It would probably not be a bad idea to check out the new drug, also. Personal injury attorneys nearly always give a free initial consultation. The insurance industry’s own statistics indicate that once an attorney becomes involved, the value of any claim at least doubles. Put those two facts together and it is in your best interest to retain experienced legal counsel at your earliest possible convenience. I truly wish you the best.

Laws vary widely from state to state. You should rely only on the advice given to you during a personal consultation by a local attorney who is thoroughly familiar with state laws and the area of practice in which your concern lies. In the event that you have follow up questions, please post them directly on this site. This does not create an attorney-client relationship and the attorney does not read unsolicited emails. Thank You.

Yes, there have been a lot of lawsuits arising from use (or misuse) of Coumadin or warfarin. It is a very valuable drug but it is powerful and has to be used carefully. Patients taking it need to be monitored. Most experienced medical malpractice lawyers have handled cases involving this drug. Consult with a medical malpractice lawyer in your area.
