Avandia, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline for type 2 diabetes, has been linked to an increased risk of heart attacks and other potentailly life-threatening injuries. According to a recent study by the New England Journal of Medicine, patients taking Avandia have a 43% higher rate of heart attacks. There was also a significant increase in the risk of heart-related deaths. In fact, GlaxoSmithKline studies submitted to the FDA in August 2006 show some increased risks for this drug.

It was first approved for use in 1999. Since then more than 6 million people worldwide have taken the drug. Avandia helps sensitize the body to insulin and helps control blood sugar.

Some side effects Avandia patients suffer from are: liver toxicity, stroke and congestive heart failure.

Avandia lawsuits are personal injury cases in which patients have been injured after taking the Avandia prescription medication. They are seeking compensation from GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Avandia. Whether the case is filed as an individual claim or an Avandia class action case, Avandia lawsuits can win settlements for patients by proving that patients suffered injuries as a result of taking Avandia and that GlaxoSmithKline knew about the severe side effects and failed to disclose them to the FDA and general public.

In April of this year, the United States federal government reached a $520 million settlement with pharmaceutical manufacturer AstraZeneca, resolving allegations of the company’s illegal marketing of the antipsychotic drug Seroquel. Headquartered in Delaware, AstraZeneca now faces lawsuits from more than 25,000 people, most of them claiming that Seroquel caused then Diabetes. Denying allegations of perks and kickbacks to doctors, AstraZeneca stated the settlement was reached in order to avoid a long, drawn-out legal battle.

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.

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.

After you find an attorney, you will want to make sure the attorney will be right for you. First, ask the attorney upfront what education and experience they have that qualifies them to solve your situationt. Be specific: Years of divorce-court experience don’t matter if you need an expert in estate planning. More…

After you hire the attorney who will represent you, we here to help you get a lawsuit cash advance should you need cash while you are waiting for your lawsuit to settle.

In addition, a funding source may have many options of where to spend investors’ money, with a certain amount of cash available to advance. So given 8 motor vehicle case cash requests for $10K and 2 “other” requests for $50K, the funding source is likely to prioritize the motor vehicle case requests. It is simpler for them to simply accept these cases (as they are sound investments) in order to keep their rates low.

So what does the plaintiff who has the “other” type of case do? He should first ask the question, “Does your company handle my type of case?” If the company does, he should be prepared for a possible rejection, given the above information, and if approved, he should be prepared for a higher-than-advertised rate, as the risk for the funding source/investor will be higher. Above all, he should not take any rejections as indications that he has a “bad” case.

I came across this acrticle today and thought it presented personal injury loans very simply, as well as other types of cases that may qualify for lawsuit loans. Joel McLaughlin of OfficialWire writes, “The most frequent cause of personal injury is automobile accidents. Whether the person was driving under the influence, texting on a cell phone, or ran a stop sign does not matter. If they caused the accident because of negligence, you may suffer serious injury. Claims of this type are very common, and many plaintiffs apply for pre-settlement funding so that they won’t suffer financially while waiting for the case to settle.” Read the full article here.

In addition to personal injury cases, we help plaintiffs who have many other types of cases. If you are unsure whether you qualify, just email us with your question. Regardless of your case type, and given the fact that this lawsuit loan is non-recourse, your case needs to be fully evaluated by an underwriter at a funding source before you will be approved for a cash advance. Once we have the adequate paperwork from your attorney, we usually know within a couple days if you qualify for a lawsuit loan.

The story goes: Erin Brockovich is an unemployed single mother, desperate to find a job, but is having no luck. This losing streak even extends to a failed lawsuit against a doctor in a car accident she was in. With no alternative, she successfully browbeats her lawyer to give her a job in compensation for the loss. While no one takes her seriously, with her trashy clothes and earthy manners, that soon changes when she begins to investigate a suspicious real estate case involving the Pacific Gas & Electric Company. What she discovers is that the company is trying quietly to buy land that was contaminated by hexavalent chromium, a deadly toxic waste that the company is improperly and illegally dumping and, in turn, poisoning the residents in the area. As she digs deeper, Erin finds herself leading point in a series of events that would involve her lawfirm in one of the biggest class action lawsuits in American history against a multi-billion dollar corporation (source: imdb).

The reason this story caught my attention this time is the fact that Brockovich’s attorney was quite stressed in a few of the scenes. In fact, he doubted his firm’s ability to handle the number of cases they would eventually take on. This attorney could have used an attorney loan! It would have relieved some stress, in addition to providing much-needed resources to handle that case load.

Rapid Legal Finance provides attorney loans to attorneys who need financial support while they are working on discovery for their portfolio of cases. While banks and traditional lending institutions consider such factors as credit worthiness and the cash flow of a law firm, we use the expected fees from pre-settlement or settled cases to determine financing. Because of our expertise in valuing contingency fee cases, our attorney funding programs are able to advance significantly higher amounts of capital than traditional institutions. And we do so in less time with little or no risk to the personal assets or credit of the attorney or firm. Read more here.

Typically the victim has been injured and therefore cannot work, so from the start, they are losing income. Add this loss of wages to medical bills that may not be readily covered by insurance and you have a financial strain on the victim. How serious this financial strain is depends in part on how long the victim’s recovery period is. If he/she has had surgery, it could be months. This can lead to unpaid bills (utilities turned off, car reposessed, house foreclosed, etc.).

To solve this financial strain, the victim may start using his/her own credit cards. Soon these bills come in, though, and they usually are not set up for deferred payments. Next he/she may turn to family and friends for some money. Nowadays many of us are strained by the overall economic climate so that is not typically a viable option.

For a victim of a motor vehicle accident, a cash advance on his/her lawsuit is an option that may alleviate a lot of stress. Bills can be paid and the victim can buy some time until he/she gets back to work. As an added benefit, it can afford the victim’s attorney to take the time to get the full value of the case, instead of accepting a lowball offer due to the victim’s financial desperation.
