Dietary supplements are typically marketed as natural pain relief or treatment for deficiencies, medical disorders, and illnesses. They include ingredients like herbs, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. However, they can often also include chemical binding agents. Unfortunately, some people can have adverse reactions to these chemical ingredients. Some people also have adverse reactions to more natural ingredients that are wrongly marketed. If you have taken a supplement and have experienced a personal injury because of it, then you need to file a lawsuit.
This article will explain what a dietary supplement injury lawsuit consists of:
If you’ve just taken a supplement, and you’re having an adverse reaction, then you need to seek medical advice. Adverse reactions can be very serious and need to be addressed immediately. Once you’ve sought medical help, you should ask for a written note from the doctor confirming that the reason for your arrival in the ER was an adverse reaction to a supplement. You should also ask them to note down specifically what was wrong with you so that you can present this as evidence in court. ER records are deleted at the end of the shift, which is why you need to get documented evidence from the doctor that sees you.
Once you’ve sought medical advice, you should contact a lawyer. A lawyer will be able to take you through the more complicated stages of filing a lawsuit. They will also be able to check whether the supplement that you have taken is on a recall list like Vigor 25 is. If you’re on a reduced income, then you might be able to find a no-win-no-fee lawyer, who will represent you for free. They take their fee when you win your case. If you lose, then they won’t charge you.
