As of October of 2012, Bayer has settled nearly 2,000 Yaz lawsuits for over
$400 million dollars. The average settlement value has been $212,000. Bayer
has made the decision to settle as many Yaz lawsuits as it can as long as the
woman who was injured suffered from a clotting event such as a deep vein
thrombosis, a pulmonary embolism, or a stroke or heart attack triggered by a
clotting event.
Bayer has set aside close to $1 billion dollars to settle Yaz cases, and
stock analysts predict the total amount of Yaz settlements may exceed $1.2
billion dollars. While no one knows how much it will cost Bayer to settle all
of the current and future Yaz cases, it can be said with certainty that women
who suffered a clotting event while taking Yaz may be eligible for a Yaz
settlement.
It can also be said with certainty that any woman who suffered a clotting
event while taking Yaz only has a limited amount of time to file a Yaz lawsuit
or otherwise pursue a Yaz settlement. That amount of time varies from state to
state, and the only way to be sure of the deadline is to talk to a Yaz
lawyer.
The Yaz lawyers at Ketterman, Rowland & Westlund are happy to answer any
questions anyone may have about filing a Yaz lawsuit, seeking a Yaz settlement,
or about the other kinds of injuries Yaz may cause. We are available by
