Botox lawyers are personal injury attorneys who specialize in building cases and winning settlements for individuals injured after receiving Botox treatments.

As a refined form of the botulinum toxin protein, Botox is FDA approved for the treatment of:

• achalasia, a swallowing disorder
• blepharospasm, excessive blinking
• cervical dystonia, a condition in which muscle spasms in the neck cause pain, repetitive movement and/or abnormal posture
• excessive sweating
• frown lines and wrinkles
• migraines.

However, despite its effectiveness, Botox has been associated with some severe side effects and over 28 deaths (None of the deaths resulted from cosmetic Botox injections).

Anyone injured after receiving Botox injections, as well as families of deceased Botox patients, will likely be entitled to a settlement for their injuries and losses.

Botox Side Effects

Adverse reactions reported after use of Botox include:

• bruising and/or tenderness at the injection site
• localized pain
• paralysis of the wrong muscle group
• skin rash
• weakness of muscle group beneath the injection site.

These minor side effects of Botox are transient and will typically clear up within a few days to a few months of receiving the injections.

Less frequently, severe, life-threatening Botox side effects may arise. These can include:

• arrhythmia
• heart attack
• respiratory depression (difficulty breathing)
• severe allergic reaction.

Should Botox patients develop chest pain, breathing problems or facial swelling, it's vital that they seek emergency medical care.
