Users of the popular fourth generation drospirenone birth control pills Yaz or Yasmin who have experienced any of the side effects associated with them should consult a Yaz lawyer who is knowledgeable about the products in order to determine whether or not they have a case. Side effects that have been reported include blood clots, gallbladder disease, heart attack, and stroke.
For some users, it will be too late to file a suit. However, for most side effect victims, there is still time – the Yaz, Yasmin statute of limitations related to personal injury vary from state to state, and in most states the statue of limitations is 2 to 4 years after the discovery of the injury. This means users of products that may cause side effects have 2 to 4 years after the side effect is discovered to file suit. Unfortunately, this time has expired for some women on the pill.
Yasmin has been on the market in the United States since 2001, and Yaz has been available since 2006. Health problems relating to these medications may appear right away, or might crop up after years of use without any Yaz side effects. It is important for a plaintiff to know when side effects first arose when filing a lawsuit. In addition, there are circumstances in which a judge may choose to extend a statue of limitations for a particular case – for example, if a medical professional leads a patient to believe that a condition they are suffering stems from something other than a medication they have been taking, if the medication is proven to be at fault the statue of limitations may be extended. Potential plaintiffs should not only inform their attorney of the first appearance of a side effect, but also of when they may have discovered the possibility of the side effect being linked to Yaz or Yasmin.
