Injury Lawyer News reports today that another lawsuit against Bayer, the maker of Yaz, was filed on September 6th of 2012. The Yaz lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court for Los Angeles County, and alleges that misleading advertising caused the plaintiff to believe that Yaz was safe and superior to other brands of birth control.
The article states that more than 1,200 women have filed Yaz lawsuits – I suspect that’s a typo as the number is actually over 12,000. Many of those lawsuits will end in a settlement. So far, Bayer has paid out over $400 million to women who developed a DVT, a pulmonary embolism, or had a stroke or a heart attack while taking Yaz.
A Yaz lawsuit is not always necessary for a woman to receive a settlement. Give us a call today at 888-315-3997 if you’re interested as to what your options are regarding a Yaz settlement.
