Fen Phen Lawsuit

Phen fen lawsuits can result in prescription reimbursement, funds to pay for medical treatment, and damages. Phen fen lawsuits arose after the discovery that phen fen (also called fen phen) damages heart valves. These phen fen lawsuits allege that drug manufacturers knew the health risks and hid information from the public. Many phen fen lawsuits fall under the 1999 class action settlement by American Home Products Corporation, phen fen''s manufacturer. Phen fen lawsuits brought individually can recover larger amounts depending upon the severity of the damages, although phen fen lawsuits covered under the 1999 settlement will be resolved more quickly.

Most phen fen lawsuits address heart damages, which can be demonstrated through echocardiograms. Individual phen fen lawsuit settlements can cover the cost of diagnosis and treatment, while the class action phen fen lawsuit automatically pays for echocardiograms for qualifying plaintiffs. Additionally, phen fen lawsuits demonstrating long-term heart damage generally win sufficient financial settlements to cover necessary medical treatment.

Successful phen fen lawsuits require an attorney familiar with the specific health problems this drug causes. An individual phen fen lawsuit may be necessary; an attorney can advise you as to your best option. Experienced phen fen lawsuit attorneys can increase the amount you receive as a settlement.
