If you have experienced vision loss or eye damage from taking Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine), you may be entitled to file a legal claim. Understanding your rights and the steps involved can help protect your vision and seek compensation for your injuries.
Understanding Your Rights
Plaquenil lawsuits typically involve claims for medical negligence, product liability, or failure to warn. Patients who develop retinal damage or hydroxychloroquine retinopathy may be eligible to seek compensation if the manufacturer or prescribing medical professionals did not provide adequate warnings about the risk of eye damage.
Who is Eligible for a Claim
- Patients who have taken Plaquenil for an extended period
- Individuals who have developed vision changes, blind spots, or other retinal damage
- Patients with documented eye exams showing hydroxychloroquine toxicity
Steps to Take if You Suspect Eye Damage
- Schedule a comprehensive eye exam with an ophthalmologist
- Gather medical records, prescriptions, and eye test results
- Document symptoms and changes in vision
- Consult a qualified Plaquenil toxicity lawyer to discuss potential legal claims
