Gardasil lawsuits seek compensation for females injured after receiving a Gardasil vaccine, as well as for families of deceased Gardasil patients.

Produced by Merck & Co., Gardasil is a vaccine that protects females from certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is known to cause most cases of genital warts and cervical cancer, for up to four years.

Gardasil was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 2006 and, currently, is only indicated for use in females 9 to 26 years old. Research is still underway to evaluate whether the Gardasil HPV vaccine is safe and effective for use in men and in women older than 26.

Although it's an effective HPV vaccine, tragically, Gardasil has been associated with some serious side effects and as many as 8 deaths.

Anyone injured after receiving Gardasil and families of deceased Gardasil patients should meet with an experienced Gardasil lawyer to:

• Find out if they have a case against Merck & Co.
• Win a settlement for their injuries and losses.

Gardasil Side Effects

While most instances of Gardasil side effects are mild, in rare cases, Gardasil has been known to cause some severe health complications, including:

• Bells Palsy, facial paralysis
• blood clots (If left untreated, blood clots can result in potentially fatal complications, including heart attack, stroke and pulmonary embolism.)
• epilepsy
• Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a nervous system disease that can eventually cause severe weakness and paralysis
• miscarriage (Over 25 women have reported experiencing a miscarriage after receiving a Gardasil vaccine.)
• severe allergic reaction (Symptoms of severe allergic reaction will develop within 15 minutes of receiving a Gardasil injection).

Symptoms of serious Gardasil side effects may include (but aren't limited to):

• abnormal vaginal bleeding
• breathing difficulties
• facial and/or tongue swelling
• general weakness throughout the body
• hives and/or skin rash
• inability to control certain muscles
• leg cramps
• loss of sensitivity of feeling
• redness, swelling or increased sensitivity in a localized area of the body
• seizures.

Gardasil patients should seek emergency medical care if they start developing some combination of the above symptoms.

Statistics of Adverse Events Related to Gardasil

While the incidence of severe Gardasil side effects is rare (as over 40 million Gardasil doses have been administered worldwide), it is still significant. Here is a look at the prevalence of adverse events related to Gardasil use:

• Over 3,400 American females have had adverse reactions to the Gardasil vaccine.
• Nearly 1,400 affected females had to receive emergency medical care following serious Gardasil side effects.
• Of these adverse reports, about 1.4 percent of females experienced life-threatening side effects.
• Twenty-eight women have experienced miscarriage after receiving Gardasil.

Meeting with a Gardasil Lawyer

Following treatment, it's essential that females injured by Gardasil meet with an experienced Gardasil attorney for:

• an expert evaluation of their case
• an estimate of possible settlement amounts
• an explanation of the process associated with winning a Gardasil lawsuit
• advice regarding the best manner in which to pursue their case.

To encourage injured Gardasil patients to stand up for their legal rights, Gardasil lawyers offer initial consultations for free and will delay payment for their services until the case is won.
