Ferrer, Poirot & Wansbrough
The law offices of Ferrer, Poirot & Wansbrough have more than 20 years of personal injury litigation experience representing in excess of 10,000 people who have been injured as a result of the negligence of others.
Most of Ferrer, Poirot & Wansbrough's legal efforts are focused on issues related to injuries caused as a result of medical malpractice, defective medical devices and drug side effects. Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a condition that can be caused by the use of certain diet drugs, including Fen Phen, Redux (dexfenfluramine) and Pondimin (fenfluramine). PPH sufferers have abnormally elevated blood pressure in their pulmonary artery, forcing the heart muscles to work harder to pump blood into the lungs; such over-exertion can potentially lead to a heart attack. PPH symptoms include shortness of breath and chest pain; immediate PPH treatment is required to prevent serious heart problems.
If you or a loved one is suffering from primary pulmonary hypertension or have been injured as a result of using Ortho Evra skin patches, contact the law offices of Ferrer, Poirot & Wansbrough to get information about your eligibility for personal injury compensation.
