Eliquis, also known by its generic name apixaban, is an anticoagulant medication prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, as well as to treat and prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).

This post talks about Eliquis side effects. Every drug has them.  But Eliquis has proven to be generally safe and effective.

Our law firm is not involved in any Eliquis lawsuits, and our attorneys do not believe there are viable product liability causes of action with respect to Eliquis’s side effects. But we talk about the legal issues that have risen with Eliquis and the type of Eliquis-related lawsuits our firm does review.

Some plaintiffs’ lawyers are looking at the question of whether prednisone causes cancer.  Our law firm is not taking prednisone cancer lawsuits, at least not yet.  But we are following the medical literature to see if there are viable lawsuits here.

As lawyers, our role often requires us to evaluate scientific evidence to determine whether it supports viable claims for litigation. Again, this has led to our interest in the relationship between long-term use of prednisone and cancer.

This page will look at who qualifies to file a Paragard IUD injury lawsuit. We will summarize the basic eligibility criteria that our firm is applying to screen potential Paragard lawsuits and describe the relevant injuries associated with these cases. We will also look at the possible settlement payouts for Paragard claims.

About the Paragard Lawsuits

The Paragard, an intrauterine device (IUD) manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, has served as a long-term contraceptive method for women since the late 1980s. Despite its high efficacy in birth control, the Paragard IUD has faced various issues. It has a significant design flaw that frequently leads to the device fracturing within a woman’s body during attempted removal.

Between 1957 and 1987, the water supply at Camp Lejeune, a Marine Corps base in North Carolina, was contaminated with harmful chemicals at exceedingly high levels. Studies have demonstrated that exposure to this contaminated water while residing or working at Camp Lejeune led to the development of cancer, birth defects, and various health issues for numerous individuals. Unfortunately, North Carolina law has prevented these Camp Lejeune victims from pursuing legal action. However, the U.S. Senate is on the verge of passing a new federal law that will allow victims of water contamination at Camp Lejeune to file claims and receive financial compensation.

Where Camp Lejeune Lawsuits Are Going in 2025

We are moving pretty slowly. There are nearly 500,000 claims (many of which are not viable). Almost all these claims are still in the administrative phase with the JAG, where claimants are required to submit evidence of exposure and a connection between their health conditions and the contaminated water. Due to the overwhelming volume of claims coupled with government bureaucracy, this process has created a bottleneck, delaying progress.

Recent research has identified a potential link between asbestos exposure and breast cancer, broadening the scope of illnesses associated with this dangerous substance. While asbestos is most commonly connected to mesothelioma and lung cancer, studies now suggest that its toxic fibers may also play a role in breast cancer development. These findings are particularly significant for women who have experienced occupational or environmental exposure to asbestos, highlighting the far-reaching health risks of this material.

How Asbestos Exposure Can Lead to Breast Cancer

Asbestos fibers, when inhaled or ingested, do not easily break down or leave the body. Instead, they can embed themselves in tissues and persist for decades, creating chronic inflammation and cellular damage.

Recent studies have sparked growing concerns about the use of benzodiazepines like Xanax (alprazolam) and Valium (diazepam) during pregnancy, particularly their potential to increase the risk of complications such as ectopic pregnancies, miscarriage, and birth defects. Researchers have identified links between benzodiazepine use and adverse outcomes, including a 50% higher risk of ectopic pregnancy in women who filled prescriptions before conception, as well as neonatal complications like respiratory issues and low birth weight.

While these findings are alarming, they remain part of an ongoing investigation into the safety of benzodiazepines during pregnancy. Despite the emerging data, the exact mechanisms and broader implications of these risks are not yet fully understood, leaving patients and healthcare providers to navigate uncertain terrain when making decisions about anxiety and sleep management during pregnancy.

This article will explore the scientific evidence surrounding benzodiazepine use during pregnancy, the legal landscape regarding potential Xanax birth defect lawsuits and related claims, and the critical role of informed decision-making for women weighing the risks and benefits of these medications. Importantly, while research has raised valid safety concerns, clear guidelines are still evolving, and the focus remains on empowering women with accurate, up-to-date information to make the best choices for themselves and their children in consultation with their healthcare providers.  At the bottom of the article, we give our updated 2025 thoughts on this issue.

In a lawsuit filed in the Western District of Kentucky, two plaintiffs have initiated a class action against Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc., doing business as GE Appliances.

The complaint alleges that GE Appliances sold refrigerators with a significant compressor defect. This defect, according to the plaintiffs, causes the refrigerators to fail at cooling, leading to spoiled food and beverages and rendering the appliances unusable for their intended purpose. This issue reportedly manifests shortly after purchase and well before the expected lifespan of the appliances.

If you are a possible plaintiff, you may have a compensation claim.  You should keep detailed records of your purchase, including receipts, warranty information, and any communications with the company (emails, calls, service requests). Also, document the issues you’ve experienced with the product, including any attempts to have it repaired, costs incurred, and the impact of the defect.

For decades, millions of Americans used Johnson & Johnson talcum products, such as Baby Powder, daily. That has all changed drastically as recent scientific research has revealed that long-term use of talcum powder products can cause cancer. The discovery of the link between talcum powder and cancer has led to thousands of talcum powder lawsuits and the disappearance of various products from retail shelves.

The recall of certain talcum powder products (such as J&J’s Baby Powder) has left many consumers searching for alternatives to meet their daily hygiene needs. Fortunately, there are many talcum powder alternatives that do not cause cancer. You can find some of these alternatives in local supermarkets, drug stores, or online. However, others may be more difficult to find. The following are seven non-toxic alternatives to talcum powder.
