You took Belviq® to lose weight. While Belviq may have helped you achieve health-related weight goals, the drug may have caused you to develop another significant health concern. Now, you may have colorectal cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, or another form of cancer because you took Belviq or Belviq XR as prescribed by your doctor.
If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer after taking Belviq or Belviq XR, we encourage you to learn how to protect your right to a fair recovery from the drug maker that caused your injury. A Belviq injury lawyer can help you take the necessary steps to protect your legal rights. While your lawyer will do everything possible to get you the fair recovery you deserve, you can begin protecting yourself immediately by avoiding three common mistakes.
Don’t Do These Things If You Have Cancer After Taking Belviq
Right now, your medical care, regular daily activities, and your family may take up all of your time and energy. You may want to hold Eisai, Inc., accountable for the serious injury that you’ve suffered, but you don’t want to add any stress, anxiety, or tasks to your life at this time.
You can protect your rights without making your life more complicated, and you can begin now by avoiding three common mistakes. Specifically, we encourage you:
- Not to assume that you would’ve developed cancer anyway. You might not have developed cancer if you had not taken Belviq. Medical experts may share their opinions about why you developed cancer. Until then, you should not assume that the cancer would have happened even if you had not taken Belviq.
- Not to trust the drug manufacturer to treat you fairly. The drug manufacturer wants to maximize its profits and maintain its reputation. Therefore, it wants to pay you as little as possible and keep you from speaking out about your illness. The drug company is not on your side.
- Not to wait too long to contact a mass tort lawyer. The statute of limitations limits the amount of time you have to pursue a legal recovery. Accordingly, it’s essential to contact a lawyer as soon as possible to make sure your rights are protected.
When you avoid these three mistakes, you may set yourself up for a fair recovery.
