- Side Effects Associated With Gleevec
Phillips Law Group is no longer accepting Gleevec cases and therefore, the information on this page is provided for informational purposes only. After the initial report in July 2006 linking Gleevec to cardiac and other side effects, in October 2006 the manufacturer, Novartis, informed healthcare providers of the potential for severe congestive heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction and included additional information on the product’s package insert. As with any healthcare issue, you should discuss any questions about Gleevec with your physician.
About Gleevec
Gleevec is used to treat two types of cancer: chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and a rare type of stomach cancer known as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). While Gleevac was hailed as a revolutionary treatment when it hit the market in 2001, its recently discovered side effects are enough to cause serious personal injury or even death. Heart failure generally kills half of patients within five years.
Gleevec Side Effects
A recent study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, publicized the disturbing side effects heart failure and problems in remodeling bones some Gleevec patients have experienced.
The study recommended that all patients taking Gleevec be closely monitored for these dangerous side effects. Those who have taken the drug before the study was publicized in July 2006, however, might not have had the benefit of this monitoring and may have suffered from dangerous side effects, including heart failure. If you or a loved one has taken Gleevec and have suffered bone- or heart-related side effects, you may be able to pursue a claim against the manufacturer, Swiss drugmaker Novartis Pharmaceuticals.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

During these troubling times with the epidemic, Phillips Law Group has masterfully created this family-like environment while still maintaining a professional and business-like approach for all their clients. Thru impeccable leadership that is unmatched by other law firms to the Multi-diverse employment opportunities that many employees advance within the firm; Phillips Law Group has not only distanced themselves from all other competition in the Personal Injury field but also has innovatively changed the narrative of being a great law institution. From providing Employee Appreciation Day to celebrating all major Holiday including great competitive contests; Phillips Law Group has the total participation of all employees to help contribute to the continued success of this firm. So in closing I would like to thank Senior Administration (Jeffery Phillips, Eva Chiaramonte, and Tim Tonkin) along with all of my colleagues and many friends for help making Phillips Law Group a unique and wonderful place to call my place of employment for 6+ years.
