Paxil lawsuits prevail because birth defects are clear

Though many American families have suffered due to Paxil side effects such as Paxil birth defects, Paxil lawsuits at least are prevailing in court. In fact, the maker of the defective antidepressant, British company GlaxoSmithKline, already has settled as many as 200 Paxil lawsuits in favor of Paxil birth defects victims.

What accounts for Paxil lawsuits prevailing in such settlements or in jury awards? It’s because plaintiffs have clearly shown that GSK knew its antidepressant could cause Paxil side effects such as birth defects in the infants of women who took the defective drug during pregnancy.
 

These birth defects can be life-threatening or at least life-changing, and since they affect a human being at birth, they can impact that person’s entire life and thus are more costly.

Indeed, catastrophic injuries such as ailments of the heart, lungs, brain or other vital organs have led to Paxil lawsuits prevailing by millions of dollars. One family alone received $2.5 million from a Philadelphia jury which needed just seven hours to decide a Paxil birth defects trial involving a  newborn baby who needed surgery for a defective heart.

That Paxil lawsuit led to disclosure of memos at GSK which proved the company had tried to cover up test results showing the dangers of Paxil. Its motivation? A reported $3 billion in profits from sales of the defective drug.

Also weighing in victims’ favor and against GSK is the fact that the Food and Drug Administration warned physicians that Paxil birth defects were twice as likely to arise in the babies of women who used the antidepressant during pregnancy than among women who did not.
