How to Select Zyprexa Lawyers and Attorneys

If you are considering filing a Zyprexa lawsuit, it is essential that you find a qualified attorney. An experienced Zyprexa lawyer can bring a lot to the table. He or she: (1) knows what parties can be sued; (2) knows the value of your claim and if it is worth pursuing in court; (3) knows effective trial tactics and settlement possibilities; (4) will know which court to file in, which judge or jury is more sympathetic; and (5) levels the playing field against equally skilled defense attorneys, who can be extremely intimidating.

An experienced Zyprexa attorney will prevent you from doing or saying anything that would be used to limit the drug company’s liability. Zyprexa cases are complex and require detailed knowledge of testing and medical procedures which are beyond the knowledge of a novice. Your Zyprexa attorney should have the necessary experience to avoid costly errors and should understand all of the procedural challenges in your case. He or she will master the nuances of your case in the context of the law (click for FAQ on the Zyprexa legal issues involved).


While it might be tempting to attempt to negotiate a settlement directly with the drug company yourself, in complicated cases such as these, it is always best to consult with an attorney, even when it comes to negotiating a settlement. Defense attorneys and adjusters will have no particular reason to take your case, or you, as a serious threat. In fact, you are putting yourself at an extreme disadvantage in terms of experience and knowledge. You are exposing yourself to people who are friendly, sweet and nice, but they will get you to talk about things you should not and to admit things that you think have no meaning and couldn’t possibly hurt you. The defense attorneys know the settlement value of your claim; you don’t (click for an FAQ on types of zyprexa damage claims). A Zyprexa attorney will work at convincing the defense team of the unique aspects of your case in order to settle for more money.


When you hire an attorney to handle a pharmaceutical drug case, you generally do not have to put up any money in advance because injury lawyers typically work on a contingency basis. The injury attorney takes a certain percentage of the award or settlement if you win; if you lose, the attorney gets nothing. The standard contingency fee will vary from state to state and lawyer to lawyer, but typically ranges from 25% to 40% of the recovery. However, you can negotiate with the injury lawyer for a lower rate. Who pays for the costs of litigation (court fees and other litigation expenses) varies from state to state and amogst different attorneys.
