McGrath Law Firm, PA is leading in the tainted steriod injection legal cases. We already have clients that received the injections. The steroid injections were prescribed for pain and tainted with Aspergillus, which can be deadly. Even the testing is painful and full of risk.
As of October 6, 2012, the CDC has reported in all, 47 people have contracted fungal meningitis. Michigan became the seventh state to report cases, with four. Tennessee’s cases now total 29; Virginia, six; Indiana, 3; two each in Maryland and Florida and one in North Carolina.
Three people have died in Tennessee and one in Virginia and Maryland.
The first known case in the meningitis outbreak was diagnosed about two weeks ago in Tennessee, and the steroid was recalled last week by the pharmacy, New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass.
About 17,700 single-dose vials of the steroid were covered in the recall. On Friday, the government released the names of about 75 facilities in 23 states that got recalled doses between July and September.
It’s not clear how many were sent to clinics, how many were used, or even whether everyone who got one will get sick. Once infected, it can take as long as a month for symptoms to appear.
All claims have not been adjudicated and any allegations made are unproven at this time.
McGrath Law Firm is a full-service law firm with offices in New Hampshire and South Carolina, and has affiliations with law firms nationwide.
