The doctor prescribed some pain-killing tablets for my mum's rheumatism and she promptly had a heart attack. I have read in the newspapers we can sue the manufacturers. Is this true?
Well, several anti-rheumatic pills have recently been shown to cause heart trouble. Indeed, in America victims have just been awarded a billion dollar settlement.
However, your big problem would be to prove it was actually the drug which caused your mum's heart attack. There may have been other factors - such as smoking. Your best move would be to get advice from a firm of solicitors which is pursuing these claims. Visit www.irwinmitchell.com for details.
