Levaquin (Levofloxacin) is a fluroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, and is available only by prescription.  On July 8, 2008, the FDA ordered the manufacturer to add a Black Box warning to Levaquin.  A Black Box warning is the strongest warning available for prescription drugs.  The FDA also required that a guidebook be provided to patients warning about the possible side effects.

People that have been prescribed Levaquin have filed lawsuits claiming that it causes ruptured tendons and that the defendants’ warnings about this side effect were inadequate.  Defendants Johnson & Johnson, Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc., and Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development are denying that Levaquin is defective or unreasonably dangerous.  Defendants are also denying that they failed to provide adequate warnings.

The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation determined that centralizing the Levaquin Tendon Rupture cases was appropriate.  All Levaquin Tendon Rupture federal cases have been ordered transferred to the District of Minnesota.

Our Law firm is based in Minnesota and is accepting cases in all 50 states.  Our firm is working with Levaquin Lawsuit Lawyers across the country to help people who have suffered side effects from using Levaquin.

We believe the defendants should be held accountable for any harm that they have caused, and that people who have suffered injuries from taking Levaquin should be treated fairly and compensated for their losses (whether it be medical bills, lost wages, loss of quality of life and independence, or pain and suffering).

If you or a loved one has taken Levaquin and suffered side effects such as a ruptured tendon, torn achilles tendon, or other tendon injuries, you may have a claim.  We represent clients on a contingency fee basis, which means there are no legal fees unless we make a recovery for you.  Call us today for a free, no obligation consultation.  Toll Free 1-866-777-2557 or use our online contact form to contact a Levaquin Lawsuit Attorney.
