Levaquin Tendon Rupture Leads to Illinois Woman's Lawsuit

Margaret A. Frass, an Illinois woman, has filed a Levaquin lawsuit after experiencing what she claims was Levaquin tendon rupture. She has gotten in touch with a Levaquin lawyer and joined Levaquin multidistrict litigation currently taking place in the U.S. District Court of the District of Minnesota, where the third Levaquin bellwether trial is currently taking place. Frass' Levaquin claim is similar to many others that were already involved in the Levaquin litigation. 

Tendon Rupture in Plaintiff's Patellar Tendon

Frass claims that she began taking the antibiotic Levaquin in April of 2005, and was diagnosed with a Levaquin tendon rupture in her right patellar tendon in September of that year after experiencing painful side effects including pain and swelling in her right knee. The symptoms began to show up shortly after she began taking Levaquin, and she and her Levaquin lawyer have linked her use of the drug to the tendon rupture.

California Levaquin Lawsuit Moved to Minnesota

A Levaquin lawsuit filed in California has been moved to Minnesota multidistrict litigation after the plaintiff's Levaquin lawyer requested the move. Arthur Dement filed his Levaquin lawsuit on July 25, 2011after experiencing side effects associated with the antibiotic. It was transferred to Minnesota multidistrict litigation on the 12th of January, 2012.

Levaquin multidistrict litigation in side effects cases

Dement's case is not unlike other Levaquin side effects cases, with the plaintiff filing suit against drug maker Johnson & Johnson after experiencing side effects such as Levaquin tendon rupture and Levaquin rotator cuff tears. Dement is seeking damages from Johnson & Johnson, including general, punitive, and special damages that total in excess of $75,000.
