Legal Options

If you are one of the millions of people who took an SSRI antidepressant drug like Paxil during pregnancy and gave birth to a child with birth defects, it is important to know that you have Paxil legal options. Learn more about your rights for a lawsuit against the maker of this defective drug in this section.

Some of the top defective drug attorneys in the country are currently representing those children and families affected by this drug, and have recovered millions to help with the treatment and damages a birth defect can cause.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant drugs like Paxil have been linked in recent studies to severe birth defects including brain damage, abdominal defects, cranial defects, heart defects, club foot and lung defects.

In some cases, studies showed that taking these drugs could increase birth defect risks by up to 600%.

While Paxil has been taken by an estimated 100 million people in the United States, the maker of the drug did little to warn expectant mothers of the health dangers. Families do have Paxil legal options for having unknowingly placed their children at risk of these birth defects.

If you suspect your child’s condition may have been caused by taking an SSRI drug like Paxil during pregnancy, it is important to learn your Paxil legal options as soon as possible.  The time available to file a claim is limited.

Experts fear that millions of children may have been injured by severe birth defects from these drugs. Over 5,000 people have already exercised their Paxil legal options to file a claim.

The maker of Paxil, GlaxoSmithKline, has paid an estimated $1 billion to resolve legal issues surrounding the drug so far, or an average of $1.2 million per lawsuit for those children with serious birth defects.

Attorneys with the Paxil Litigation Group have represented thousands of families in defective drug lawsuits and recovered millions for those injured.  

These same attorneys are available to answer questions about your case today, such as how much it may be worth, how long you have to file a claim before your rights expire and how long it will take to recover funds to help your child.

No parent should file a birth defect lawsuit unless they can show that a defective drug caused their child’s condition. However, a qualified attorney can explain the clear evidence linking Paxil to birth defects and how GlaxoSmithKline has continued to earn billions of dollars selling the drug regardless of the risks.

The medical expenses, lost time from work and family and hopelessness of dealing with a child’s birth defect can be devastating, not to mention the suffering endured by your child.  You should not face this burden alone simply because of the carelessness of a large drug company.
