Texas Personal Injury Attorney Wins $19.4 million Defective Drug Settlement For Remicade User

Posted by TotalInjury.com Staff Writer | Posted in Personal Injury Cases in the News

John Gsanger, Patricia Hamilton’s personal injury attorney, said Remicade treatments caused his client to suffer severe pain and worsen the condition of her liver already damaged by Hepatitis C.   The Nueces County Court heard arguments from the Texas personal injury attorney describing how Hamilton also developed drug-induced lupus after using Remicade for two years.

A Texas jury ruled that Remicade manufacturer Centocor failed to warn doctors and their patients about  adverse reactions associated with the arthritis drug and therefore was at fault for the personal injury illnesses Hamilton suffered due to her use of Remicade.   The Texas personal injury award for the defective drug claim included $16 million in punitive damages against the Pennsylvania bio medicine company.
