Yaz Pulmonary Embolism Accusers Filing

Bayer, the manufacturer of popular fourth-generation birth control pill Yaz, are facing a slew of lawsuits that have been plaguing them for years already. Yaz lawsuit allege that Yaz has caused a number of patients serious pain, emotional trauma, and other complications that could last for the rest of their lives. Yaz has been linked to a number of serious medical conditions, some of them fatal, many of which relate in some way to blood clots forming and possibly breaking off from the vein in which they were formed. 
Yaz pulmonary embolism is one of the most serious conditions represented by Yaz lawsuits—and one of the most common. Other side effects alleged in lawsuits include heart arrhythmia, Yaz Stroke, blood clots like deep vein thrombosis, and Yaz gallbladder disease. It occurs when a blood clot forms in an extremity such as the leg, then breaks off and travels through the bloodstream to block one of the main arteries in the lung.
This condition can manifest with symptoms such as sudden and sometimes bloody cough, pain, and shortness of breath. Patients who experience these symptoms need to seek medical care as quickly as possible, because if this condition is left untreated it could quickly become fatal. Yaz side effects are extremely dangerous and have even proven to be fatal in a number of cases. 
Plaintiffs file suit in order to gain damages. The damages most are looking to gain from Bayer involve negligence, breach of warranty, fraud, unjust enrichment, and product liability. They are also looking for money that will help cover medical bills and attorneys fees, along with other financial losses associated with their side effects. Some families have filed wrongful death lawsuits which will likely ask for funds to cover bereavement costs if their relative or loved one has passed away due to Yaz side effects.
In almost every case, there is the assertion that Bayer did not do enough to warn medical practitioners and patients of the potential for serious side effects associated with Yaz. Although blood clots were mentioned on its original warning label, there was nothing regarding more serious conditions such as pulmonary embolism.
