Legal help is available for all out-of-pocket expenses related to Fosamax injuries

Fosamax causes femur fractures and brittle bones in long-term users – a fact that many realized too late. These severe side-effects caused by Fosamax were not revealed to the public until a decade after Fosamax’s release. Because of this, many have paid out of their own pockets to cover the various treatment costs associated with Fosamax’s side-effects.

Weitz & Luxenberg wants you to know that you can get all the money you have spent on medical bills, traveling, phone calls, hospital stays, and more back to you through a Fosamax lawsuit. Merck & Co. (the manufacturer of Fosamax) failed to warn the public that Fosamax causes femur fractures and brittle bones. Weitz & Luxenberg can help you file a lawsuit against those responsible, so that you can finally get all of the money you spent on Fosamax-related injuries back in your pocket.

What kinds of out of pocket expenses can be compensated?

Any out-of-pocket expenses that are related to femur fractures caused by Fosamax can be compensated. You are entitled to receive compensation for out-of-pocket expenses such as:

• Travel expenses to and from necessary places of treatment
• Medical treatment costs for which you paid out of pocket
• Medication costs prescribed to treat you injury
• Any necessary medical devices for which you paid out of pocket
• Cancelation fees related to necessary cancelations because of your injury
• Hired help to aid in your recovery
• Phone bills related to your injuries
• Acquired debt related to your injury – this includes massive debt that you have acquired from credit cards, loans, or missed loan payments from trying to cover all of the costs associated with a femur fracture injury from Fosamax.

So many people are paying out-of-pocket needlessly

Please be aware that the following story is only a fictional representation of what can happen when someone has developed an injury due to Fosamax use. Any similarity to individuals living or deceased is entirely coincidental.

Six years after Quinn took her first Fosamax pill; she lost her house, her car, her job, and became buried in debt. Here is how it happened…

Quinn worked as a therapist. She had her own practice and saw enough patients to make an honest living. She lived in a small, inherited house, and drove a BMW to work every day. The car was the nicest thing she owned and she took good care of it. When she turned 30, her doctor diagnosed her with osteopenia, a condition marked by a slight decrease in bone density. The doctor recommended that she take Fosamax to prevent the condition from getting worse and developing into osteoporosis. Quinn, being a small-framed, Caucasian woman was at an increased risk of developing osteoporosis and so she took her doctor’s advice and began a Fosamax regimen. Five years into taking the drug, Quinn developed pains her legs. These pains were so intense that she could not even sit still without keeling over in agony. She was prescribed pain medication so powerful that she could not even concentrate on her work. 

Two months later, Quinn had her first femur fracture. It happened as she was climbing her stairs. She managed to call a friend on her cellphone and he rushed her to the hospital. By this time, her patients had dropped her because of her consistent absence. Quinn was in the hospital with no income and a broken femur that the doctors told her could take up to six months to heal.

After six months of recovery, Quinn’s bills were piling up. She was using her credit cards to pay for everything because she had already used up all of her savings. Then, just as her leg was finally healing, a bone scan revealed another small fracture in her other femur. There seemed to be no way out. Quinn had to sell her car and her home just to survive. Her job, which does not require any physical activity, was still impossible because of her health complications. Pain medicine made it hard to focus, and broken legs made it hard to travel. Working anywhere in Quinn’s condition was an exercise in futility.
