Why should I pursue legal action

Why should I pursue legal action against Tylenol or other acetaminophen manufacturers?

People with legitimate legal claims will get involved in lawsuits for lots of reasons.  For some, it is the desire to ensure others don’t go through what they’ve been through.  For others, it is to seek compensation for the bills they have had to pay for injuries they shouldn’t have had but for the dangerous drug.  Sometimes it is just to make sure that the defendant company takes notice and assumes responsibility for what they’ve done.  Often, it is for all of the above. Why you should pursue a Tylenol lawsuit claim—and even if you have a claim—depends on the specific facts of your case.  Fill out the contact form to the right, or call one of our Tylenol lawsuit attorneys at 1-877-696-3303 now, to discuss these issues without cost or obligation.  Part of our job is to help you sort out what is best for you given the facts of your story.  Put us to work for you today. 

How will you be able to determine if I have a Tylenol lawsuit claim?

We will review the basic facts of your (or your loved one’s) story: how long on the drug, the injuries sustained, etc.  If the facts indicate you may have a claim, our Tylenol injury attorneys obtain the medical records necessary to build a case.  We can walk you through this process if you fill out the contact form to the right, or call us at 1-877-696-3303. For example, when the injury occurred, and when you learned that Tylenol or another bisphosphonate was possible responsible for the injury may affect whether your claim is "timely"--that is, whether you are still able to bring the claim at all.  These are state-specific laws that are often affected by other laws or judicial opinions, such as whether there is a discovery rule or statute of repose.  You should always contact an attorney about determining whether you have a claim, which they ought to provide for free.

How does the Liver Become Damaged from Tylenol?

Your liver breaks down the majority of the Tylenol (acetaminophen) into safe components that are removed from the body through urine.  However, small amounts of Tylenol (acetaminophen) are expected to be metabolized (consumed) into a by-product called NAPQI (N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine) which is harmful to the body.  When taken in recommended dosages Tylenol is typically safe, however when the liver is needed to metabolize large amounts of Tylenol (acetaminophen), to much of this toxic NAPQI is created and can harm the liver.  Some batches of Tylenol have been recalled due to increased amounts of acetaminophen in each dose leading to potential Tylenol liver damage.
