PR Newswire reported on August 2nd that there are 13,530 women with claims pending against Bayer over side effects of the drug Yaz. This number is higher than the often-reported number of 12,000 Yaz lawsuits pending against Bayer. That’s because not every woman who is seeking a settlement from Bayer has filed a lawsuit against the company.
Lawyers representing women injured by Yaz can sometimes seek a settlement without having to file a lawsuit. One reason that is so in these cases is because Bayer is aggressively settling with women who developed a blood clot while using Yaz. Because Bayer is so interested in settling those cases, it can choose to settle with a woman before she files a lawsuit. There are advantages and disadvantages to seeking a settlement prior to filing a lawsuit. We’re happy to explain what those advantages and disadvantages are – just give us a call or contact us with the form on the right.
