The Nashville Meningitis Outbreak Lawyers with Ponce Law explain that victims are frantically beginning to file lawsuits as the one-year anniversary of contaminated injections that led to the deaths of dozens of patients and sickened hundreds approaches. In fact, more than a dozen complaints have been filed in the past eleven days.
An article published by The Tennessean states that in October 2012, the U.S Food and Drug Administration announced the voluntary recall of products from a Massachusetts compounding center. The recall was made in connection with the contamination of steroid injections with a leaf fungus during the manufacturing process. These injections were responsible for the deaths of 15 people and the sickening of 153 more in the state of Tennessee alone.
In the wake of the discovery, patients who were harmed began filing suits against the facilities and doctors who dispensed the tainted injection. One particular facility located in Crossville was facing a total of five lawsuits, while others throughout Nashville and Brentwood were included in lawsuits as well.
A one-year statute of limitations that establishes a time limit in whcih an injured patient must pursue legal action is fast approaching.
This is why Michael D. Ponce & Associates’ team of Nashville Personal Injury Lawyers encourages anyone who was harmed as a result of the recent Meningitis outbreak to discuss their legal rights with an attorney.
