Who Can File a Lemtrada Stroke Lawsuit?

Individuals suffering from MS who have taken Lemtrada since 2014 were exposed to a risk for arterial dissection and stroke with no warning whatsoever. Following an FDA drug safety alert, Lemtrada stroke was added to the drug's list of Black Box warnings. The risk of life-threatening Lemtrada side effects such as stroke has left safety experts questioning whether the drug should still be in use at all. Annual sales of Lemtrada in the United States exceeded $275 million in 2017; Lemtrada is marketed by Sanofi Genzyme, the American division of the French multinational Sanofi.

Persons who suffered from artery tears and stroke as a result of taking Lemtrada are seeking clarification on the qualifications required to participate in a Lemtrada stroke lawsuit. Our law firm offers free, no-obligation, confidential consultations to anyone who feels they may have a claim; this page outlines some of the general factors our attorneys will consider when assessing a Lemtrada stroke claim.

• Lemtrada PrescriptionTo qualify, you must have started taking Lemtrada for multiple sclerosis. Stroke and arterial dissection from Lemtrada typically develop after the first injection of the drug, within 1-3 days.
• Lemtrada Side Effects: Arterial Dissection To qualify, you must have experienced a severe side effect from Lemtrada. Lemtrada side effects include arterial dissection and stroke. Arterial dissection occurs when tears form in the lining of head and neck arteries. Arterial dissection tears typically develop rapidly, and early symptoms, such as head and neck pain, are too vague to be reliably diagnosed. As arterial dissection intensifies, a small pouch of blood known as a "false lumen" forms, which can block blood flow and lead to stroke. If you or a loved one suffered from Lemtrada arterial dissection, you may be eligible to file a Lemtrada claim.
• Lemtrada Side Effects: Stroke Stroke occurs when blood flow to an area of the brain is cut off or when bleeding on the brain occurs. Brain cells that are deprived of oxygen begin to die in a matter of minutes. Lemtrada stroke can lead to permanent disability and death. If you or a loved one suffered from Lemtrada stroke, you may be eligible to file a Lemtrada claim.

For persons and family members of persons who meet these qualifications, it is likely you will be eligible to file a Lemtrada claim for stroke or arterial dissection. There are multiple reasons to file a claim. First, Lemtrada lawyers believe persons who have suffered from stroke may be eligible for compensation for the expense of medical treatment, pain, suffering, and loss associated with Lemtrada stroke. More meaningful to some is an opportunity to hold multinational pharmaceutical corporations accountable for patient safety and dishonest business practices. It is a sad fact, but sometimes the only means to force a company to become a better corporate citizen is through the threat of litigation.
