Illinois Drug Injury Claims Involving Duragesic Patches (Part B)

Symptoms of an Overdose from Duragesic PatchesAn overdose from Duragesic or fentanyl patches can include any of the following symptoms: 

  • extreme fatigue;
  • seizures;
  • clammy or cold skin;
  • difficulty breathing;
  • confusion;
  • loss of consciousness;
  • coma;
  • faintness;
  • dizziness; and
  • inability to function.  

Severe adverse side effects can result from an overdose of Duragesic patches, leading to a life-threatening illness or injury.

Lawsuits Related to the Use of Duragesic Patches 

Numerous lawsuits have been filed over Duragesic patches. The first settlement was for a Florida family that lost a loved one who overdosed on a fentanyl patch in 2003. In 2007 Johnson & Johnson agreed to settle with the victim’s family for $2.5 million.

At that time, hundreds of other wrongful death lawsuits were still in the works. Some have since been settled but others are still pending. When a manufacturer makes and sells dangerous prescription drugs, they can be held liable for injuries or wrongful death. Taking Action Against the Manufacturer of a Dangerous DrugIf you have taken Duragesic patches or fentanyl patches and experienced serious injuries, you should immediately consult with a Chicago injury lawyer. They will take the time to evaluate your case to determine whether you may have a valid Illinois product liability claim.

While it may seem like a huge undertaking to take on a large manufacturing company, you should not let that stop you from fighting for the compensation to which you may be entitled.

With the help and experience of a Chicago injury lawyer working in your best interests, you may be able to recover damages for not only your physical injuries but other injuries you may have sustained, such as pain and suffering.
