Stroke

YAZ Injury Lawyers Serving the Antelope Valley, CA

If a loved one suffered a stroke and she was using YAZ, Yasmin or Ocella, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. Depending on the case, YAZ may be linked to stroke. As with other oral contraceptives that use a combination of hormones to prevent pregnancy, YAZ increases the risk of stroke in women who take this pill. Factors that may increase the likelihood of stoke include those who are over 35 years old, who smoke, or who have high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol.

A stroke can lead to  death or may leave a person permanently disabled, dealing with issues affecting movement, sensation, speech, hearing, balance, vision, comprehension, and more.

We want to apply our legal knowledge and experience to your case in order to help you recover the financial compensation you deserve.

YAZ Side Effects: Stroke

What is a stroke? A stroke occurs when the supply of blood to the brain is significantly reduced or interrupted, meaning the brain tissue does not receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients that are supplied by the blood. When this happens, the brain cells that are deprived begin to die rapidly. Strokes most often happen very quickly. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible, as a stroke is potentially fatal.

If you, a friend or family member suffered a stroke while using YAZ, Yasmin or Ocella, you may have grounds for a lawsuit.  Contact a Palmdale or Lancaster YAZ injury lawyer at the R. Rex Parris Law Firm today!
