Z-Pak

The Z-Pak Lawsuit

The Z-Pak is a 5 day, pre-packaged antibiotic treatment. Patients taking the Z-Pak have been known to suffer serious side effects during or within 15 days of last usage. Side effects include arrhythmia, heart attack, and sudden cardiac arrest. If you or a loved one suffered from these sides effects and then required hospitalization, implantation of a defibrillator, implantation of a pacemaker, or died, then compensation may be available.

The legal action against Z-Pak is structured as a mass tort lawsuit. Unlike class action lawsuits, a mass tort lawsuit treats each claimant (victim) as an individual. What this means to you is that a separate, individual lawsuit against the manufacturer is filed upon your behalf. It is worth noting that settlements in these cases often result in large sums of money being awarded to the claimant; the majority going to you and a much lesser amount to the attorney. Also there is NEVER any upfront payment to the attorney or any out-of-pocket expenses for which you are responsible.
