Actemra is a biologic that is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It is estimated that over 50 million Americans live with one form or another of arthritis, with rheumatoid arthritis being one of the most painful and debilitating. Known as an autoimmune disease, this condition is caused by the immune system attacking the joints and tendons of the sufferer, thereby causing joint and cartilage degradation. The inflammation and damage causes swelling, and in some cases, patients are unable to work without help, and may find themselves not only immobile, but also unable to work and be productive members of the society. Biologics work by dampening the action of the immune system, therefore preventing attacks on healthy tissue, thereby helping patients go into remission. While there’s no doubt that Actemra is effective with regard to rheumatoid arthritis, it has over the last decade been blamed for the deaths of thousands of individuals, many of who suffered strokes, heart attack and lung conditions that led to their deaths. It is alleged that Roche, the maker of this drug, knew about these worrying side effects but still sold the medication. If you were hurt by Actemra, you have every right to recover compensation and seek justice, and we’re right here with you.

It is disheartening to note that the manufacturer failed in their duty of care to patients with regard to failing to inform about these serious health complications, as well as failing to add a black box warning as is often instructed by the FDA. This opens up the company to litigation according to product liability law, which provides you with a legal avenue that you can use to collect compensation from the negligent actions of Roche. One can recover money damages for things such as past and future medical bills, lost wages, past and future pain and suffering, punitive damages, legal bills and so much more.
