How will a Pradaxa Attorney Handle My Case?

Pradaxa attorneys are professionals who concentrate their practices on representing victims injured after taking this drug. These attorneys generally provide free consultations and a case analysis over the phone or in person. During the consultation, the attorney will ask you a series of questions in order to determine whether Pradaxa is the cause of your injuries. If the attorney believes you suffered injuries as a result of taking the drug, he will ask you to sign a representation agreement.

After you have retained an attorney, he will get to work collecting evidence. This will include your medical history, documentation of your injuries, photographs and more. The attorney will open a dialogue with Boehringer Ingelheim Inc.'s legal department and may attempt to settle your case before it ever gets to trial. In fact, only a minority of personal injury cases ever make it to trial. 

All personal injury cases are restricted by what's known as a statute of limitations. If you or a loved one was injured after taking Pradaxa, speak with an attorney immediately. Your initial consultation is free, and will make sure your case is not barred by the statute of limitations. Experienced Pradaxa attorneys are listed at the top of this page, and are available to speak with you regarding your legal options.

What is My Pradaxa Lawsuit Worth?
