Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy Lawsuits

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) lawsuits are arising across the U.S. based on the many cases of patients who contracted this debilitating disease from medications prescribed to treat:

Psoriasis — with Raptiva® (efalizumab), recalled in April 2009 by its manufacturer due to progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy concerns, or
Multiple sclerosis — with Tysabri® (natalizumab), or
Rheumatoid arthritis — with Rituxan® (rituximab)

Individual and Class Action Lawsuits

The progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy lawsuits initiated thus far are individual lawsuits, but progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy class action (group) lawsuits are expected in the near future as the number of people harmed by these drugs continues to grow.

It is of course very troubling to an individual to undergo treatment for one disorder and then develop a life-threatening neurological disease due to the treatment. progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy lawsuits are the injured individuals' attempts to obtain a legal remedy for their losses and damages due to defective treatment.

Damages from Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy Symptoms

There are a number of grave progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy symptoms that progress despite treatment efforts:

loss of muscle control
loss of balance and coordination

speech difficulties
