Brian came to Greenberg & Bederman because he applied for Social Security Disability and was denied twice. He saw a previous disability testimonials on TV and he liked how sincere the person talking seemed. When Brian came to our office, he remarked how clean it is, and how friendly and caring the staff are. He and his social security disability lawyer poured over his medical records and came up with a strategy for success in his disability hearing. Brian got all that he asked for and more that we filed for him, which he didn't know to ask for. Additionally, we structured his monthly settlement in a way that would be most beneficial for him long term. Brian was very grateful for our strategy, service, and ability to speak to the staff on a consistent and regular basis.

Jan was involved in a car accident that was not her fault. It was due to the negligence of another driver. She broke her nose and needed sinus surgery. Since she was in college at the time, and didn't know how to handle her claim, she went to a friend who we were currently representing in his car accident case. He was so happy with our personal service, and that we contacted him every 3 weeks throughout the duration of his case that he enthusiastically recommened Greenberg & Bederman to Jan. Jan was very happy with our personal service, our experience in car accident law, and her settlement of her car accident exceeded her expectations, that she was thrilled to talk with us about her car accident and our personal service.

Yaz Lawyer Yaz Health Alert Hello. I'm Andrew Bederman of the law firm of Greenberg and Bederman, which practices in the Washington, DC Metro area.
It's no secret that every birth control pill has a small element of risk. One of the acting ingredients in almost every oral contraceptive on the market is a hormone called progestin, which works in combination with estrogen to both prevent the egg from dropping and to prevent sperm from moving into the uterus.
The use of progestin in birth control pills has been shown in some rare cases to increase the risk of blood clotting among some women who use them. The numbers of these cases have been small enough over the years to make the use of progestin an acceptable risk. But the Bayer Corporation has not only put an oral contraceptive on the market that dramatically increases the odds of blood clotting, but has also engaged in advertising that downplayed the risks involved.
The pills in question are sold under the names Yaz, Yasmin, and a generic version called Oscella. These contraceptives were marketed as pills that can not only prevent pregnancy, but can also prevent acne and symptoms of PMS. The FDA cited Bayer this year for running misleading television commercials and last month for not following proper quality-control procedures at a plant that makes hormone ingredients. But the significant problem with Yaz, Yasmin and Oscella is that the key ingredient is a synthetic variation of progestin called drospirenone, which has been shown to increase the level of potassium in the blood and therefore increases the risks of blood clotting.
Yaz and Yasmin have received a litany of complaints from users and sanctions and penalties from the Food and Drug Administration. Between 2004 and 2008, the FDA has received fifty separate reports of deaths among women who were using either Yaz or Yasmin. The FDA has forced Bayer to change its advertising for these pills because they failed to adequately mention the higher risks of blood clotting and other very real medical dangers. These reports of deaths and injuries have caused the FDA to start a study comparing the risks of clotting and strokes between Bayer’s line of contraceptives and others that are on the market, mainly because they believe Bayer's initial study to be faulty.
It isn't only in America where these pills are having a detrimental effect on the lives of the women who use them. The medical regulatory board in Switzerland is currently investigating Yaz and Yasmin due to the death of a young woman who died of a pulmonary embolism. She had been taking Yaz for ten months.
Since these contraceptives have been put on the market, more and more women who use these pills have come forward to the Food and Drug Administration with stories of severe injuries due to strokes, pulmonary embolisms and heart attacks. The frequency of these reports has increased to the point where they can't be ignored or written off as “rare birth control side effects." And we believe the fact that Bayer advertised these products so heavily without properly warning potential users of these very real dangers was reckless and irresponsible.
The birth control pill, Yasmin, and it's smaller cousin YAZ, may contribute to a higher risk of cardiovascular problems including blood clots, stroke, and death.
Recent studies published in the British Medical Journal reveal that women who use Yaz™ or Yasmin™ oral contraceptives are more than twice as likely to suffer serious health complications than women using other oral contraceptives. Yaz™ and Yasmin™ have been linked with the following serious health complications:
heart attack stroke organ failure gall bladder disease blood clots/deep vein thrombosis pulmonary embolism If you have taken Yaz™ or Yasmin™ and have suffered a serious health consequence, you may be entitled to compensation from the pharmaceutical company.
