If your child or the child of someone you know was born with spina bifida after being exposed to Depakote prenatally (before birth), you deserve compensation for the associated physical suffering, financial costs and emotional burdens. Our attorneys have dealt with many similar cases and are prepared to discuss your experience confidentially, compassionately and knowledgeably.
Dedicated to You and the Safety of Our Nation
As attorneys, we have dedicated our careers and passion to helping those who have been harmed by dangerous drugs and irresponsible pharmaceutical companies. As members of the community, we are committed to the overall health and safety of every American. Lawsuits send powerful messages to pharmaceutical companies that their negligent and harmful behavior will not be tolerated. These messages may convince Abbott Laboratories and other drug manufacturers to more thoroughly and continuously research their products so that innocent people are not injured or killed by them. We believe every lawsuit is one step closer to a safe and effective medical community. For those people who have already been injured by Depakote, we believe in fighting aggressively for the maximum compensation to offset the associated physical, emotional and financial burdens.
