New Video Answers Questions Asked By Zofran Lawsuit Plaintiffs

ZofranLegal.com has released a new video which addresses two of the most frequently asked questions by parents joining the Zofran litigation: “How Do I File A Zofran Lawsuit?” and “How Much Does It Cost?”

Michael Monheit, an attorney whose firm is representing numerous plaintiffs who have pursued legal action against GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturers of Zofran, wants parents to know that his firm does the majority of the work. “For a parent that’s bringing one of these claims, there is really not a lot that they need to do in the initial stages.” he said, “We do almost all of the work.” He went on to describe the process of filing a claim, indicating that once a parent signs a Hippa agreement, allowing the attorney access to all available medical records, the firm is able to move forward with their investigation.

When asked how much the process will cost parents, Monheit answered, “I’ve been representing clients for over 25 years and never has any client had to pay an out of pocket expense as a result of the litigation.” He explained that his firm is paid on a contingency fee basis, which means that they only receive payment if the client is awarded a favorable verdict or settlement.

These two questions have been asked by numerous parents who have children that were born with birth defects after their mother took Zofran during her pregnancy. Zofran is an anti-emetic that has been prescribed to countless expectant mothers since the early 90’s. The drug hit the market after earning an approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This approval, however, only approved the drug to administer to patients who were nauseous or vomiting after chemotherapy and radiation treatments, or who were waking up after  undergoing anesthesia. The FDA did not approve Zofran for use by  pregnant women, nor deem it safe for their unborn children.

More than 50 lawsuits have been filed against GSK, each alleging that Zofran caused a birth defect in an unborn child. The claimed birth defects include clubfoot, atrial septal defect, transposition of the greater vessels, ventricular septal defect, cleft lip, and cleft palate. Nearly every child has had to undergo at least one surgery to correct their birth defect.

Recently, all Zofran lawsuits were consolidated into MDL 2657. This means that every lawsuit filed will go to trial in one court, under one judge. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation announced that the chosen court will be in Boston and the cases would be presided over by the Hon. Judge F. Dennis Saylor.
