Bladder cancer occurs when abnormal cells multiply in the bladder lining. In the United States, there are about 75,000 new cases of bladder cancer every year. Although this type of cancer is relatively common among both genders, men are more susceptible than women.
Patients with type 2 diabetes or heartburn may have been prescribed pharmaceuticals such as Zantac, Actos, Actoplus Met, Actoplus Met XR, Duetact, Invokana and Invokamet—all which have been linked to causing bladder cancer. If you were taking any of these medications prior to your bladder cancer diagnosis, our team may be able to file a lawsuit so you can receive compensation for the financial expenses you have incurred.
At Phillips Law Group, our knowledgeable attorneys may also be able to help you recover financial loss if you developed bladder cancer after using a defective product or working in a toxic environment that is known to cause bladder cancer. CPAP machines, which are used to treat sleep apnea, have been linked to this form of cancer. People who have experienced prolonged exposure to toxins and carcinogens in their everyday work environment, such as railroad workers, may also have a chance at pursuing a railroad cancer lawsuit if they developed bladder cancer.
Over the years, the medical malpractice lawyers at Phillips Law Group have collected millions of dollars in settlements for our clients. Victims of medical malpractice may also be able to file a bladder cancer lawsuit if they experienced negligence or a misdiagnosis at any time during their bladder cancer treatment.
