Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I have concerns about Yaz®/Yasmin®?
You should contact your doctor if you have not already done so. You and your doctor can discuss your concerns and options.
What are my legal options?
Your legal options include the right to be compensated for any blood-clotting injury (i.e. blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, stroke) that you have suffered from the use of YAZ®/YASMIN® oral contraceptives as well as for the expense, mental anguish and inconvenience you incur as a result of any medical and rehabilitation treatment. This should also include compensation for the manufacturer’s delay in notifying the public about the increased risk.
What are the legal fees?
There are no legal fees unless you receive compensation in the form of a settlement or award. This is called a contingent fee and is a percentage of your award. We are only entitled to such a fee if we are successful in obtaining an award or settlement for you.
Do I have to advance money for costs?
No, you do not have to advance any moneys for costs. We will advance the money necessary to pay for the out-of-pocket costs required to prosecute your case. If you receive a settlement or award, we will be reimbursed out of the settlement for the costs we advanced on your behalf. If you do not receive a settlement or award, you owe nothing.
How soon will you begin work on my case?
As soon as we receive your signed Retainer Agreement, we will begin work on your case. The initial phase of this work will be to obtain medical records and evaluate your potential claim. To do so, you also need to sign and return the HIPPA medical releases.
PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE A COPY OF YOUR YAZ®/YASMIN® WITH PRESCRIPTION INFORMATION, OR, IF YOU CANNOT COPY IT, WRITE THE INFORMATION DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER – INCLUDING THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE PHARMACY THAT FILLED YOUR PRESCRIPTION - AND SEND IT TO US WITH THE OTHER DOCUMENTS.
