The number of pharmaceutical liability cases related to swine flu may rise as pregnant women who get swine flu are already at such high risk of complications like pneumonia, dehydration and premature labor that doctors have begun to immediately treat them antiviral drug Tamiflu, which has not been approved for use on children who are not a year old.
Our firm’s personal injury lawyers in San Diego believe that pharmaceutical medical liabilitycan increase during a pandemic because many people will be misdiagnosed. Personal injury and physical disabilities can often times be caused by pharmaceutical liability while a user is undergoing medical treatment.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that doctors consider antiviral treatment for young children and babies though antiviral drugs do not have approval for use in children who are younger than one. Whether it is the seasonal flu or the swine flu, being pregnant increases the risk of personal injury to the mother and the child.
If you were pregnant and you were diagnosed with swine flu, would you trust the diagnosis and put your unborn child at risk for personal injury or potentially wrongful death by taking a dangerous medication? Giving a pregnant woman a drug that is unapproved for their child’s use—especially if she has been misdiagnosed for swine flu symptoms—is just a case of pharmaceutical liability waiting to happen.
What children’s injuries will be prevelant when the baby is born?
Our firm’s San Diego personal injury lawyers believe that doctors can misdiagnose the symptoms of an injured person, prescribe them a drug for an illness they do not have, and increase the chance of pharmaceutical liability.
