Since 2007, millions of dollars have been awarded to victims of Zyprexa’s adverse side effects.
Zyprexa (olzanapine) is an antipsychotic medication most commonly used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Made by pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, the drug was first released in 1996 and is currently associated with serious side effects including diabetes and obesity.
Victims claim that Zyprexa has increased their risk for diabetes, heart attack, death and additional ailments. Eli Lilly is paying out more than $1.2 billion to the nearly 30,000 victims of Zyprexa’s side effects who are now suing Eli Lilly for adverse effects suffered from taking Zyprexa. One law firm in Los Angeles is helping these victims. Read more here.
Rapid Legal FInance offers cash advances to plaintiffs who have suffered from Zyprexa’s side effects. The process is very simple and once approved, the plaintiff typically receives their cash the following day.

Today, for many people, psychiatric drugs have become a popular solution to what ails them emotionally. Stress is at an all-time high, and these drugs seem to be a workable answer to handling it. Sadly, when misdiagnosed, the drugs don’t actually solve the underlying problem for the patient; they only cover it up by deadening the mind’s perceptions and in many cases causing a new set of health problems for the patient.
But the FDA has chimed and set some recent regulations that may help. For example, in early 2009 then ruled that AstraZeneca cannot market Seroquel for depression.
AstraZeneca faces personal-injury claims from about 15,000 people who took Seroquel and say it caused diabetes. They allege the company failed to adequately warn patients about Seroquel side effects like severe weight gain, diabetes and pancreatitis. Read more of the story here.
Rapid Legal Finance offers lawsuit cash advances to plaintiffs who have been misdiagnosed and prescribed Seroquel and other psychiatric drugs.

To qualify for a cash advance on a lawsuit, a person must have:
a lawsuit in progress. A plaintiff must have an attorney on retainer who is working on his behalf.
Once that qualification is met, there are a few things that are needed in order to evaluate the case. They are:
- Complaint. This summarizes your grievance and is prepared by the attorney handling the case.
- Evidence damages sustained by the plaintiff. For a motor vehicle accident, this would include medical records that depict the injury. If the plaintiff had surgery, the surgical reports should be included.
- Evidence of liability of the defendant. This would include any documentation that showed the defendant is the one at fault and should therefore be the one taking responsibility. For a slip-and-fall case, this may include an accident report, photos of the accident site, a witness that saw the accident, etc.
- Proof of the defendant’s ability to pay (insurance). A insurance policy declaration page usually is enough.
Sometimes additional documentation is needed for certain cases, but the above list includes the basics. Once these documents are supplied to a funder, the funder is able to evaluate the case and determine its merit. In short, a funder wants to have a strong expectation that the case will settle in the plaintiff’s favor, because if it does not, the plaintiff does not have to repay the money that is advanced to him/her.
