Compensation and Damages in Yaz®, Yasmin® and Ocella® Lawsuits

At The Roberts Law Firm, P.C., in St. Louis, Missouri, we can assist you in pursuing a claim for compensation for injuries or illnesses you have suffered because of the side effects of Yaz®, Yasmin® or Ocella®. We also represent parents and family members whose daughter or other loved one died as a result of taking Yaz®, Yasmin® or Ocella®.

What Are Damages?

Many clients wonder what the term “damages” really means. It refers to the money that an injured person could possibly receive if a court finds that the injuries were the result of wrongful conduct by another. The money paid is viewed as an effort to restore the injured person to their previous status, position or situation and/or penalize the manufacturer for negligence.

There are several different types of damages, including compensatory damages that reimburse what the injured person lost — such as the expenses associated with the injury or illness and lost wages. There can also be punitive damages that punish the wrongdoer for pain and suffering and other consequences of Yaz®, Yasmin® or Ocella® side effects.

What Might I Receive in a Yaz®, Yasmin® or Ocella® Case?

Each case is different, so it is important to speak with your attorney for more precise information regarding your damages. However, you may potentially be eligible for any, or all, of the following damages if your case is successful:

  • Medical bills, including the costs of tests, hospitalization, clinic visits and other medical expenses
  • Permanent injuries that may include the inability to have children, the inability to pursue a career or the inability to resume previous activities
  • Pain and suffering because of the injuries caused by the drug
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Potential risk of future medical complications
  • Increased health and life insurance costs
  • Lost wages from the inability to work after the injury
