Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Your just going to have to do your research. Unfortuanelty lawyers can be just like these surgeons but it will work for you in these cases!! If they think they can make money they'll take your case and you don't pay until settelment. You should document everything that has happend. Everything that was said to you and even the fact that the FDA's web page is criminal!!! I would go back and look into lawyers who represented these cases back in the 90's and start contacting people and asking questions. Most law firms have web sites where you can email them questions. It's going to take some effort but I think it will be worth it. <@...> wrote: The more I read on this site, the more I am realizing I am going to probably need an attorney.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 , Many of our women have tried to get a law suit going . . . Even when attorney's initially express interest, when they find out what they are up against, they back out. Some of these women have been so desperately ill they couldn't even take care of their own personal needs. . One in particular, appears to have brain damage that she may not be overcome. Since all this started, the feds have jerry-rigged the laws against the consumers - especially in the case of breast implants and asphestos . . . It's tragic because so many women, and their children, have suffered so tragically. If you should know of anyone with the guts to go after these criminals, please let us know. The cases are extremely expensive and time consuming. . . with land mines all over the place. As long as the FDA says they are safe, and the A.M.A agrees, doctors are still following the "standard of medicine". What I don't understand is the anger doctors express when women bring up the possiblity that implants are causing their problems. . . There's an inside story there that we aren't privy to. I don't know what happened to the motto "First Do No Harm". . . I guess that's an antique nobody wants to own up to! Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 It's really a sad situation. Someone should write a letter to Oprah or Ann Curry. It won't happen overnight, but I'm going to keep talking about it that's for sure. saxony01 <saxony01@...> wrote: , Many of our women have tried to get a law suit going . . .

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 , I hate to be disparaging, but your chances of finding an attorney who will take implant cases is slim . . .The chances of them keeping your case is even slimmer . . . and chances of a settlement are very slim indeed. If you're in FW and want to talk today, send me your phone number via private email. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 , We've tried Oprah repeatedly to no avail. I don't know anyone who's tried contacting Ann Curry. Montel did an half-hearted show on implants . . . It was going great until he repeated the plastic surgeons BS (for balance)! He has/had a chest implant himself . . . and MS! He's in their pocket now . . . promoting drug companies. Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 There are very, very few lawyers who are willing to take on breast implant cases. The few that I have heard of recently have all lost. Now that implants are approved for use once again, thanks to the FDA, and the studies do not specifically point to diseases from implants, it is very, very, very hard to prove causation. The women I have corresponded with who have pursued legal avenues have all said the same thing.....it was a nightmare as your life is turned upside down and delved into deeply, the manufacturers are nasty in court, they know how to win, and in the end, the aggravation of it all is not worth it. It's not looking good for us in court, and my advice is to focus on healing. Our health needs calm, stress free conditions to heal, and legal cases are not conducive to that, with small chances of recovering anything.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 , They are so protected as far as compensating with an Attorney... Save yourself the drama... Get them out and detox... Don't even try unless a Class Action arises for Saline.... We are all doomed in that catagory... Even if a Class Action, we see pennies and the lawyers see millions... The Daubert Law stops you from suing... This Law is in place and no Attorney can sue, because the fact is that these devices have never been studied, so no way to prove you are sick... Even though you ARE.. They just blame on Anxiety, Depression, Fibro, Lupus, MS, Arthritis, CRAZYNESS, and what ever else they can blame... The Law and FDA has there back, we are just sick and no Attorney can win one of these cases... Trust Me I know so many women who have tried and it is hopeless and 3 or 4 years of fighting to get a dismissal by a Judge is so not worth the stress... Focus on your explant and gaining your health back... The Law may change someday or we can strike up a class action and well maybe see $3000.00 a piece if we are lucky... Good Luck to You and Explant God Bless, ~See AOL's top rated recipes and easy ways to stay in shape for winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 The Daubert Law makes it difficult to qualify the best wittnesses .. . . They created hurdles that are almost insurmountable. Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
