What Should I Look for in a Zantac Lawyer?

If you’re thinking about filing a Zantac lawsuit, the right lawyer can make all the difference. You will need someone who can lower your stress and take on the manufacturer. It’s important to know what to look for during your search.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asked for a Zantac recall in April 2020. Tests showed that some Zantac (or the generic form, ranitidine) products contained the chemical N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) that could cause cancer in humans. Now, many people affected by Zantac have started filing lawsuits.

You will need an experienced and qualified lawyer to help you build a case. Here are some tips on finding the best attorney for your needs. The right lawyer will fight for your rights while you focus on treatment.

Top Qualities to Look for in a Zantac Lawyer

Your Zantac should have:

• Experience in similar cases
• Skill in working personal injury lawsuits
• Knowledge of product liability and class-action suits
• Good communication
• Likeability

Finding the right lawyer is not all about their experience (although that is also very important). You deserve to work with someone you can trust. You want to feel comfortable telling your lawyer everything and building a professional relationship.

You’ll also need to find a lawyer who wants to take on your case. Lawyers might not take cases that are too small or have weak evidence. However, this is not much of a concern with the Zantac situation. Many people are looking into lawsuits after taking Zantac, and lawyers are well aware of the details.

Zantac Lawyer Contingency Fees

Many personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis, which means:

• They only charge a fee if they win your case.
• There are no upfront or out-of-pocket costs.
• If they win your case, they take a percentage of your settlement for their fee.

The typical lawyer fee is around 33%. However, that could be higher or lower based on the case. If a lawyer takes your case to trial, they might charge a higher fee for how much work is involved. Plus, you are likely to come away with more money if you win in court.

Most personal injury lawyers start with a free consultation. We would encourage you to only work with lawyers who offer a free consultation. The first meeting is the best time to get to know each other, and there should be no charge for that.

At John Foy & Associates, we have over 20 years of experience helping injury victims win what they deserve. We do not charge you unless we win, and the consultation is always free. To schedule a FREE consultation today, call (404) 400-4000 or reach out online.

Questions to Ask a Zantac Lawyer Before Hiring Them

The best way to get to know a lawyer is by scheduling a consultation. During this meeting, you can bring documentation of your costs and ask any questions. You and the lawyer can discuss what’s most important for your lawsuit.

Here are examples of smart questions to ask a Zantac lawyer:

• How long have you been in practice?
• Have you worked on other cases related to drugs like Zantac?
• What percentage of your work is on personal injury cases?
• What are some examples of claims you’ve worked on similar to mine?
• Do you work exclusively for plaintiffs (people who have been injured)?
• How do you get paid? What expenses should I expect?
• Will you be handling my case personally?
• How often will I get updates on my lawsuit?

You want to get an idea of how your working relationship will be. If you have special needs or concerns, ask about them. Also, consider other details that might be important to you. For example, you might need a law firm near public transportation.

It’s also best to get a lawyer who only works with injury victims. They will be the most understanding and empathetic towards your situation.

What a Zantac Lawyer Can Do for You

An experienced Zantac lawyer can fight for your justice. If you developed cancer after using Zantac, you deserve compensation. You probably have damages like:

• Treatment costs
• Prescription medications
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Disability

A great lawyer will fight for the fullest compensation possible. They will ensure you get a fair settlement offer. If you don’t, they can help you prepare for trial.

Zantac’s manufacturers had a duty to warn you about known health risks. They failed in that duty. Now, many people are dealing with cancer diagnoses after taking Zantac. A lawyer will help you fight for your rights.

Drug companies will try to settle for as little as possible. A Zantac lawyer will protect you from sneaky tactics from the other side. They’ll also handle the legal side of things so you can focus on treatment and healing.

What to Know About Zantac Lawyer Fees

Please make sure you fully understand a lawyer’s fees before working with them. Your Zantac lawyer should work on contingency.

You should not have to pay unless they win you a settlement or an award. When a lawyer only gets paid if you do, you’ll know they have your best interests in mind. A win for you is a win for both of you.
