West Virginia Tasigna Atherosclerosis Claims: Lawsuit Information for West Virginia Residents

Lawyers Helping West Virginia Families Harmed by Tasigna Atherosclerosis & Peripheral Arterial Disease

Tasigna (nilotinib), among the most popular cancer drugs in the world, has been found to cause rapid, severe and irreversible atherosclerosis, a condition which can result in limb amputation, peripheral arterial disease and cardiovascular problems, and death. Used to treat Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia, Tasigna was linked to atherosclerosis in 2011, yet the American public was not warned of the risk. Through no fault of their own, thousands of West Virginia residents have taken Tasigna, in hopes it would improve their health and completely unaware of the danger of Tasigna atherosclerosis.

Tasigna is manufactured and marketed by the billion dollar pharmaceutical corporation Novartis. Based in Switzerland, Novartis settled a 2013 lawsuit by paying $390 million to the U.S. Department of Justice concerning the payment of illegal kickbacks, misbranding and the use of false advertising claims concerning Tasigna. Novartis has been aware of the Tasigna atherosclerosis risk since 2011, yet purposefully concealed the information from American doctors and patients. By 2013, Novartis had publicly admitted the Tasigna atherosclerosis in Canada, where it issued a Tasigna side effects warning in conjunction with Health Canada; no such warning was issued in the United States. Used to treat chronic myloid leukemia, Tasigna is ranked among the ten most popular cancer drugs in the world; global sales of Tasigna exceeded $1.7 billion in 2016.

Tasigna garnered more than $1.7 billion in sales during 2016, putting millions of patients at risk. Patients taking Tasigna were not adequately warned about the risk for atherosclerosis or resultant peripheral arterial disease.

Many more related studies were published in prominent, peer-reviewed jounrals in the United States, Canada and Europe in the ensuing years.

Do I need a West Virginia Tasigna lawyer in order to file a lawsuit?

In most cases, no. These cases are generally not filed in West Virginia, but instead through the Federal Courts. Because of the likelihood that Tasigna peripheral arterial disease lawsuits will be consolidated into a Multi-District Litigation (MDL) in a federal court where one or more of the initial Tasigna peripheral arterial disease lawsuits has been filed.

Onder Law has a history of doing just that. Additionally, we have strong relationships with other law firms and attorneys throughout the country and never hesitate to enlist the services of other attorneys when it is in the best interests of our clients.

Aren't most drug and products liability lawsuits just class action lawsuits where the plaintiff receives very little money?

The majority of our drug cases are handled as a MDL, or Multi-District Litigation, where each plaintiff receives a settlement based upon the individual injuries and damages incurred by each plaintiff. In most Multi-District Litigation for pharmaceuticals and medical devices, plaintiff settlement amounts average between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

We're not the type of people who sue; do we really need to file a lawsuit?

If a member of your family suffered a serious injury or health problem as a result of a defective product or dangerous drug, long-term, or even life-long, medical care may be required. This could be incredibly expensive and since medical costs are continually rising may be largely unknown at the time of settlement or trial. If a member of your family died due to a defective product or dangerous drug, no amount of money can undo that wrong. It is our fervent hope that every defective products, drug or other medication lawsuit we file can serve to make the manufacturer take note of the loss and pain its product has caused. When that fails to make a company take action in the form of a product recall, greater warnings about its use and ultimately making safer products, we rely on their profit motivation to make them do the right thing. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that makes a company become a better corporate citizen.

Most states have Tasigna lawsuit time limits; however, the majority of all persons having taken Tasigna will fall within those time limits if they contact an attorney in the near future.
