Lipitor Injury Lawyer

More people take Lipitor than any other drug in the United States. Lipitor is a statin, which is a medication that works to lower a patient's “bad” cholesterol and, in turn, prevent adverse cardiovascular events like heart disease and stroke. Millions of Americans take Lipitor on a daily basis to try to regulate their high cholesterol. Unfortunately, along with the benefits of this cholesterol-lowering drug comes the risk of another very serious medical condition—Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can be life-threatening and may require extensive treatment to keep this condition under control. Some serious complications that may occur due to Type 2 diabetes include damage these organs:

• Kidneys
• Blood vessels and heart
• Nerves
• Eyes

• Skin, mouth, and feet
• Bones
• Brain

If you have developed Type 2 diabetes after starting a Lipitor regimen, you have the legal right to substantial compensation for all of your diabetes-related losses. The experienced Clearwater attorneys at the Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, are helping those injured by Lipitor recover by filing a products liability lawsuit.

Who is at Risk for Lipitor Injuries?

According to a study conducted by the Archives of Internal Medicine, women ages 50-79 who are post-menopausal are at the most severe risk of developing Type 2 diabetes after taking Lipitor. Asian women were at a higher risk than other ethnic groups, and Caucasian women had the next highest risk. Additionally, women who were in good health with a lower body mass index (BMI) who took Lipitor were at an increased risk over obese women with a BMI of 30 or higher.
