Heparin attorneys are defective drug lawyers who are dedicated to aggressively representing the rights of those who have been victimized by tainted heparin, a heparin overdose (usually due to a medical professional’s negligence), or severe heparin side effects. Heparin is a blood-thinning medication used during heart surgeries or a stay in the intensive care unit. This drug may also be used to treat:
- arrhythmia, irregular heartbeat
- deep vein thrombosis, blood clots in the body’s deep veins (typically in the legs)
- heart attack, blood clots interrupting circulation to the heart
- heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, a condition in which the immune system attacks healthy blood platelets
- pulmonary embolism, blood clots in the lungs that significantly impair breathing and can be fatal without prompt treatment
This widely used medication has a tragic history of seriously injuring patients and causing hundreds of wrongful deaths. Those who have been injured by heparin or who have lost a loved one to a heparin wrongful death should contact an experienced heparin lawyer to learn more about their legal rights, receive a comprehensive assessment of their case, and get expert advice on how to move forward for optimal chances of securing the maximum possible settlement.
When to See a Heparin Lawyer
Because heparin can harm patients via the drug’s known serious side effects, contaminated versions of the drug, and overdoses, heparin-related injuries may include:
- severe allergic reaction
- heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, a condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy blood platelets
- hyperkalemia, excessive potassium levels in the blood
- osteoporosis, significant and dangerous loss of bone density
- excessive bleeding
Although the range of heparin injuries varies, they are all extremely serious and can cause permanent disabilities or death without immediate medical attention.
