Zoloft Injury Claims
Zoloft is an anti-depressant often prescribed to pregnant women. Zoloft was on the market for 15 years before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a serious warning about the connection between Zoloft and birth defects. Over 30-million Americans each year are prescribed Zoloft. If you are one of these people and have been harmed by taking this defective drug it may be your time to seek just compensation.
Zoloft Injuries
Now it is known that Zoloft injuries range from heart defect to autism in children whose mothers took Zoloft during their first trimester of pregnancy. Pfizer, the manufacturer of Zoloft did not warn consumers about these risks. If you bring a Zoloft lawsuit, the lawsuit would claim that Pfizer knew about the risks associated with Zoloft and yet the company failed to provide you with adequate warning. The lawsuit would further claim that the Zoloft did in fact cause your injury.
