Victims of the Drug Topamax Now Have a Place to Turn to for Legal Help and Information

Chaffin Luhana LLP announces the launch of its new website aimed at the critical legal needs of those affected by the serious side effects caused by the drug Topamax. Chaffin Luhana has launched http://www.topamaxlawyer.co as a means for those who believe they have been harmed or critically injured by using Topamax or a generic drug containing topiramate to find detailed information relating to these injuries, as well as explaining legal recourse that victims can utilize to preserve their rights.

Once rated as a class “C” anticonvulsant drug, the FDA now warns that the Topamax (topiramate) rating has been lowered to a “D” in light of certain medical traumas suffered by children born to  women taking this medication during pregnancy. Birth defects related to Topamax and topiramate-based drugs include cleft palate, cleft lip, and harelip. Chaffin Luhana’s Topamax lawyer website will serve the public by profiling information directly related to the recent FDA changes in the Topamax drug and by benefiting those who believe they now suffer from Topamax’s previously undisclosed and serious side effects. Chaffin Luhana has also developed a unique video timeline that documents the history of Topamax birth defects from its inception, through the recent discovery of drug-related birth defects it may cause. This video illustrates to consumers critical information about the alleged risks involved with taking Topamax.

Protecting the rights of those affected by allegedly dangerous products, child safety, medical malpractice, and dangerous drugs, Chaffin Luhana’s national trial lawyers have recovered nearly $100 million in client settlements in 2010 alone. Chaffin Luhana’s role in protecting the rights of consumers affected by other allegedly dangerous products, such as injuries from zinc in denture cream, have garnered Chaffin Luhana clients interviews on some of the nation’s most noticeable television news shows, including Good Morning America and ABC’s World News with Diane Sawyer. With a diversified background of career experiences including Eric Chaffin’s role as a United States Federal prosecutor in New York and Roopal Luhana’s multiple roles as class counsel and appointed officiate in mass tort cases, Chaffin Luhana LLP retains a pinnacle position in the role of mass legal representation, protection, and settlements for its clients.

If you or someone close to you has a child that is potentially suffering from Topamax side effects, including cleft palate, cleft lip, and harelip, you may be entitled to compensation from Ortho McNeil, the drug’s manufacturer.
