Practice Areas Description

At The Dansby Law Firm, P.C., we focus on cases involving the following:

- Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly form of lung cancer. The major cause of mesothelioma in the United States is exposure to asbestos, which was widely used as a fire retardant in many industrial settings and in insulation materials until health authorities banned it as a health danger in the 1980s. At S. Kay Dansby, P.C., we help clients diagnosed with mesothelioma to pursue legal action against former employers, manufacturers, and others so they can obtain the compensation they need to pursue treatment and provide for their loved ones. These often-complex cases may involve claims for: Serious personal injury; Wrongful death; Medical monitoring; Treatment and medical expenses; Lost wages; Pain and suffering.

- Asbestos Exposure

The Montgomery Alabama asbestos lawyers of The Dansby Law Firm, P.C. stress the risks of asbestos exposure. We provide representation to clients exposed to asbestos by their former employers or asbestos manufacturers. Though the devastating cancer mesothelioma is the most commonly known disease caused by asbestos exposure, there are other injuries and illnesses that can be traced to working or otherwise coming in contact with asbestos. These include: Asbestosis; Pleural disease; Other forms of cancer (Lung, Larynx, Esophageal, Colorectal). If you or a loved one has any symptoms of asbestos exposure, or is already suffering from an asbestos-related injury or disease, the Montgomery law firm of S. Kay Dansby can provide compassionate legal assistance.

* Asbestos Litigation

You have options for litigation if you find you are suffering from an injury or illness traceable to asbestos exposure. With our skilled assistance, you can sue both the employer at whose job site you were exposed to asbestos, as well as the asbestos manufacturer, as legal precedent states asbestos manufacturers may be held liable. We will make every possible attempt to reach a settlement on your behalf, before the trial date or, if necessary, during the actual litigation process. While there are no guarantees, mesothelioma victims, in particular, tend to win the majority of settlements decided by juries.

- Drug Injury

Every day, people in the United States are hospitalized or killed because of adverse reactions to prescription drugs. Even medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can have side effects that were never detected in pre-approval clinical trials, often because the drugs were rushed through the approval process with inadequate time to discover long-term side effects. When doctors prescribe drugs for an off-label use, sometimes with the implicit or explicit encouragement of drug company sales representatives, the results can be tragic.

- Arthritis Drugs

Many arthritis sufferers look to prescription and over-the-counter remedies to treat their chronic pain. COX-2 inhibitors are a class of prescription drugs used to treat arthritis. These include: VIOXX; Celebrex; and Bextra. VIOXX was pulled off the market in 2004 after an FDA researcher reported findings that people taking the drug were at higher risk of heart attack and sudden cardiac death. Sales of Bextra were suspended in 2005 following a recommendation from the FDA. Numerous studies link COX-2 inhibitors to heart- attacks and strokes.

- Hormone Replacement Therapy Drugs

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is often prescribed to women to treat symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disorders, and other discomforts. The drugs, which generally contain estrogen, progestin, or both, include the name brands Premarin, Depo Provera and Prempro. Most doctors considered HRT safe until recently, when studies found the drugs could put women at a greater risk for illnesses such as: Breast cancer; Ovarian cancer; Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; Heart attack; Stroke; Blood clots.

- FDA Drug Recalls

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority to recall FDA-approved drugs, when it determines that the side effects of a drug outweigh its benefits. The following are some drugs that have been recalled by the FDA: Baycol; Serzone; Fen Phen; Lotronex; PPA; Propulsid; Rezulin; VIOXX. The FDA is also charged with monitoring drugs currently on the market and requiring changes to labeling information when necessary to protect consumers. If you or a loved one has been injured by a drug that was recalled by the FDA, S. Kay Dansby, P.C. can help. We will evaluate your case and explain your options.
