Digitek: Who Can Sue?

 

Digitek class action lawsuits seek to establish state and national class status. These lawsuits allege that the maker and distributor of Digitek knew or should have known that Digitek was defective and posed the risk of toxicity – and that the persons in charge failed to take the adequate steps to protect the public.

 

If successful, the aim of the class action lawsuits is to secure compensation for patients who purchased defective Digitek tablets and suffered from its potentially life-threatening side effects. A personal injury lawyer or products liability attorney can benefit those looking for compensation. 

 

Hospital treatment for one of the adverse warning signs of Digitek overdose – such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, low blood pressure, cardiac instability and bradycardia – may qualify you for reimbursement not only of your medical expenses but also for lost wages and pain and suffering.

 

If you are currently taking Digitek and have concerns about its safety, consult with your physician regarding treatment options. You should NOT discontinue taking your prescribed Digitek without first talking with a medical professional.

Her physician, however, was unaware that the woman’s cardiologist had previously prescribed digoxin. When at her place of work a short while later, the women went into sudden ventricular cardiac arrhythmia, caused by digoxin/quinidine toxicity, and suffered irreversible brain damage and died.
