St. Louis, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/10/2013 -- Page Bradley is now continuing its review of cases for women injured by Mirena. Women who have used Mirena birth control may experience internal injuries and medical complications that necessitate the device's immediate, emergency removal. As a result of their traumatic experiences, injury victims may be eligible for compensation.

"Patients are led to believe that the intrauterine device (IUD) is supposed to be effective and in place for five years unless they decide to make a change," said Ryan Bradley, a partner and co-founder of Page Bradley. "Some women are experiencing medical problems and must have them removed immediately to avoid further internal bodily injuries."

According to complaints received by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), more than 6 percent of the 45,000 who lodged complaints were hospitalized to correct the problem. Problems often arise due to Mirena's inability to stay in place; due to the device's tendency to migrate, patients may sustain tears in their uterus, intestines and/or cervix. Surgical procedures to remove the medical device and repair damage can result in additional expenses and loss of wages.

The personal injury attorneys at Page Bradley are continuing its review of Mirena claims. The firm takes a unique approach to handling Mirena claims. It has put together a team of professionals with the common goal of recovering compensation for injury victims. Page Bradley is currently accepting cases against Bayer in an attempt to help those who were harmed by its contraceptive devices.

St. Louis, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/06/2013 -- Orthopedic surgery has worked wonders for many people. Through the use of orthopedic implants, injuries that may have been debilitating in the past can now be overcome. However, due to a series of product recalls in recent years, the orthopedic implant industry has fallen somewhat into disrepute. One notable recall is the Zimmer NextGen MIS Tibial Component, a knee replacement device. The device was recalled due to severe medical complications resulting from its use--complications which have subjected a large number of people to great amounts of pain and suffering.

The injury lawyers at Page Bradley are currently reviewing Zimmer knee implant claims. The problem with the Zimmer NextGen MIS Tibial Component is one of stability. The device has a propensity to loosen at the most crucial moving part, leading to complications such as knee stiffness, osteoarthritis and debilitating pain. Many devices have failed, requiring further knee surgeries.

A spokesperson for Page Bradley said: "Orthopedic implants are supposed to last a long time. That is how the manufacturers justify their high price tags. They are supposed to be engineered with the greatest precision and crafted from the most durable materials. Sadly, in some circumstances this isn't the case, and it is the patients who suffer. While the FDA does have a rigorous testing process for orthopedic implants, in some cases parts of this process can be bypassed if the device is substantially similar to another device from the same manufacturer. This is what happened in the case of the Zimmer NextGen MIS Tibial Components. As a law firm, we're extensively experienced in fighting large corporations in many types of cases in order to get justice for people who have been adversely affected by their negligence."

The St. Louis, Missouri personal injury law firm renews its defense of injured victims as sale of Yaz and Yasmin birth control pills continue to be marketed without proper warnings to consumers.

St. Louis, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/04/2013 -- The development of the birth control pill was a medical innovation with profound social implications. By giving women the power to take responsibility for contraception for the first time, it ushered in waves of social change too complex and manifold to even begin listing. Since the pill was first invented, there has been numerous developments in oral contraception. While most have been regarded as safe, a few have become controversial due to their potential side effects. Two such birth control pills are Yasmin and Yaz.

Yasmin, introduced by Bayer in 2001, and Yaz, introduced by the same company in 2006, were marketed as the ultimate birth control pills. Not only were they said to prevent pregnancy, but were said to reduce the presence of testosterone and other androgenic hormones in the female body, thereby freeing women of acne and PMS. However, the pills were found to have side effects whose dangers far outweighed their benefits, including the life-threatening condition hyperkalemia.

The St. Louis, Missouri personal injury law firm Page Bradleyis currently reviewing cases related to both these drugs.

A spokesman for Page Bradley said: "The makers of Yasmin and Yaz have been warned by the FDA many times for making potentially dangerous claims in their marketing material, as well as understating the risks inherent in the chemistry of their drugs. However, the drugs continued to be sold and marketed without due warning, leading to further FDA censures. There have been a vast number of women affected by complications related to the use of these birth control pills, including very serious, potentially life-threatening issues and medical problems that required surgical intervention. This has caused a lot of pain, suffering, and medical expenses."

Aggressive personal injury lawyers prepare to represent injured patients in mounting claims surrounding risky robotic procedures.

St. Louis, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/29/2013 -- The personal injury lawyers at Page Bradley announced they are continuing to review injury cases involving the da Vinci Surgical System. The firm is looking into claims against Intuitive Surgical, the makers of the alleged defective robotic equipment. Financial compensation is being sought for injured patients and their families.

Doctors use the da Vinci Surgical System to perform surgical procedures on patients by maneuvering the Intuitive Surgical device. The surgeon sees inside the patient using a visual screen with a magnification power of 10 to 12 times, operating by moving the device's robotic arms. The da Vinci Surgical System has been used to replace procedures that are traditionally done through invasive operations. However, new data reveals an unusually high rate of injury associated with this robot.

Numerous patients have suffered unexpected damage to healthy organs and blood vessels, creating new health problems, additional medical bills, lost wages, diminished quality of life, and even death. The personal injury lawyers at Page Bradley are helping injury victims and their families determine if they may have a claim against the manufacturer.

Some doctors say that the higher incidence of injury is a result of defective equipment that does not respond as expected, burning or tearing organs and tissue as a result. Doctors also claim that the minimal training period offered by the manufacturer is too brief.

Nevertheless, this cutting-edge remote-control equipment continues to be used instead of proven surgical methods for dozens of different operations, including laparoscopic procedures for uterine fibroids, hysterectomies, prostate surgery, and more.

Healthcare practices and hospitals have made large investments in the da Vinci Surgical System, paying about $1 million for initial equipment, and more than $150,000 annually for system upgrades and maintenance. As a result, despite the greater risk involved, doctors are often pushed to use the robotic equipment whenever possible in order to earn a higher return on the investment. Patients are charged considerably more for robotic procedures than they would be for traditional surgeries.

Finally, due to more than 4,600 reports of medical complications associated with da Vinci surgeries, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now investigating the use of the robotic device.

The personal injury lawyers at Page Bradley have assembled a team of professionals to review cases against Intuitive Surgical, the manufacturer of the defective da Vinci Surgical System.
