Trasylol lawsuit filed over kidney damage
On January 25, 2007, Cory Watson Crowder & DeGaris, P.C. filed one of the first Trasylol lawsuits against Bayer Corporation on behalf of Ada Williams. Trasylol is a drug sometimes given to patients during heart surgery to control bleeding. According to the complaint, Ada M. Williams was given Trasylol during her surgery and subsequently suffered kidney failure.
The lawsuit claims that Williams is now required to undergo kidney dialysis three times a week. She is seeking damages for her pain and suffering as well as her ongoing medical costs. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Columbia Division (Case 1:07-cv-00004).
