Following multiple studies and the recall of Trasylol, Bayer, the drug maker, is now facing a multitude of injury and wrongful death claims. The blood thinning medication was expected to be a huge money maker for Bayer, but as complications during and after surgery occurred, including amputation of limbs, kidney failure and death, Bayer under internal and FDA pressure, yanked the medicine.

The unfortunate thing is that there were other blood thinning medications besides Trasylol that could have been used during open heart surgeries that were much cheaper and safer. It is estimated that over 1,000 people per month have died as a direct result of complications brought on by Trasylol.

If you or a loved one has been injured or died as a result of Trasylol, I would encourage you to visit my website, www.samlevine.com or contact my office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.

The family of a 19 year old man has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Toyota claiming their son's side impact airbags failed during a collision. The car accident occurred when the driver of a Ford truck ran a stop sign while drunk and crashed into the Toyota Prius that the 19 year old man was driving. The collision resulted in the the young man's car falling into a ditch.

The wrongful death lawsuit against Toyota asserts that the side airbags were defective because they did not inflate upon impact. Three hours after the car accident, the young man, Mr. Tovar, died.

Toyota had issued a voluntary recall on some of its cars telling consumers that the airbags might not deploy. According to reports, the 2005 Toyota Prius that Tovar was driving was not on the recall list of cars with possibly defective airbags, side or otherwise.
