Zoloft Lawsuits
According to the news released by The Sizemore Law Firm on September 6, 2011, the research linking
these drugs to birth defects has been out for years and lawyers have already helped thousands of families
affected file a Zoloft lawsuit. [3]
Women taking Zoloft during pregnancy may have a slight risk of delivering children with birth defects.
Because the manufacturer may have failed to properly warn users and doctors of the potential for Zoloft
birth defects, parents of children born with birth defects may be eligible for inclusion in Zoloft birth defect
lawsuits if the mother used Zoloft during pregnancy. [1] A lawsuit may help the affected infant and family
seek and recover compensation for medical bills and long-term care.
Since 2005, there has been evidence linking Zoloft® and other SSRI antidepressants to an increase in the
risk of certain birth defects. In 2006, the FDA issued a safety alert on the increased risk of Neonatal
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension in babies whose mothers took SSRIs after the 20th week of pregnancy.
[2].
However, there is no class-action lawsuit for birth defects caused by Zoloft at this time (September 7, 2011),
every parent affected must act individually for their child. [3]

Drug Lawsuits- Do you have a case?
Drug lawsuits are personal injury cases in which drug users injured after taking the drug seek compensation
from the drug manufacturer. Drug lawsuits can win settlements for affected users by proving that:
[A] An user's injuries were actually caused by taking the drug.
[B] The manufacturer knew about the severe drug side effects but they failed to disclose them to the FDA and
the general public.
Users who develop one or more of the unexpected side effect(s) will likely have a viable legal claim and will be
entitled to compensation for their injuries. Families of users who have died due to the drug side effects may
also be entitled to monetary settlements for their loss. Injured patients should meet with a personal injury
lawyer for an initial consultation. During this meeting, injured patients should be able to find out if they have a
provable case against the manufacturer. Most drug lawyers work on contingency – meaning that plaintiffs
won't have to pay for legal services until (or, in some cases, unless) they win a settlement. Injured users
should consult with a lawyer to see if they can start a drug lawsuit and if it is better to file an individual lawsuit
or join a class action case.
