Primary Pulmonary Hypertension is a deadly disease. It has no cure. The life expectancy of a patient suffering from Primary Pulmonary Hypertension is, on an average, 30 months upon detection and confirmation of the disease. The patient suffers great losses-physical, mental and financial. Medical bills mount up. Other associated expenses are also incurred as a result of this condition, apart from the irreparable emotional trauma and physical suffering of the patient. The income loss and similar other losses are also huge, together with harassment faced in going about procuring monetary aid and proper medical help. Very often such losses are a result of administration of the risky drugs Fen Phen (Pondimin and Redux) under prescription from some hospital or health center. The sufferers of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension are entitled to file a lawsuit if they have been using such drugs, since there is a very high chance that the disease acquired is an outcome of using these drugs. Already thousands of such lawsuits have been filed. Primary Pulmonary Hypertension attorneys are professionals, aware of the laws applicable in cases involving individuals suffering from Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, and they are experts in handling lawsuits. They are the ones who can adequately look after the legal interests of suffering individuals and can render proper help to bring them maximum possible compensation. With efforts from attorneys, Primary Pulmonary Hypertension victims filing lawsuits have been able to procure adequate relief for medical check ups and tests, treatments and the losses of wealth and income stemming from multiple expenses. Though available figures indicate that only a third of the victims of Fen Phen have been rightfully compensated, there is no reason for despair. It is also known that Primary Pulmonary Hypertension Settlements have procured millions of dollars for victims, providing adequate compensation for monetary losses incurred. |
