Gabapentin lawsuits are now being investigated because new research has raised concerns that long-term or repeated gabapentin use is linked to dementia, mild cognitive impairment, memory loss, confusion, and other cognitive problems.

These cases are still developing, and we are in the early rounds of this. There is no nationwide gabapentin dementia class action lawsuit or MDL and there have not been any settlements. In fact, we are unaware of a single lawsuit filed in the U.S. alleging Gabapentin causes these injuries.  But the science is advancing quickly, and the deeper our lawyers dig into these cases, the more we believe in them.

If you are reading this and are not a patient on Gabapentin, let’s talk briefly about what it is. Gabapentin is one of the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States. It is sold under the brand name Neurontin and is also available as a generic. Doctors prescribe Neurontin for seizures, shingles-related nerve pain, and a long list of off-label conditions, including back pain, neuropathy, anxiety, migraines, fibromyalgia, sleep problems, and other chronic pain complaints.

Bard PowerPort lawsuits allege that defects in implanted port catheters can cause fractures, migration, blood clots, infections, embolisms, and other serious complications. Thousands of product liability lawsuits are now pending against Bard and its parent company, Becton Dickinson, in a federal multidistrict litigation in Arizona.  After a long slog, these cases are now moving forward.

The first bellwether trial ended with a partial defense verdict and a deadlocked jury on the central design defect claim. The most recent trial, Divelbliss v. C.R. Bard, led to a $40 million verdict. It involved an alleged fracture of a silicone Groshong catheter. Five bellwether trials are now expected to run through February 2027. Our lawyers remain bullish on well-documented fracture, migration, and embolization cases.

This page provides the latest Bard PowerPort lawsuit updates, projected settlement amounts, and information about who may qualify to file a claim.

This page is for women considering filing a Depo-Provera lawsuit. Our lawyers provide the latest updates, explain the litigation and settlement process, and offer our assessment of potential Depo-Provera settlement amounts.

Scientific research has found a strong association between prolonged use of injectable medroxyprogesterone acetate, the active drug in Depo-Provera, and intracranial meningioma. Women who received Depo-Provera injections and were later diagnosed with a meningioma are filing lawsuits alleging that Pfizer and related companies failed to provide an adequate warning.
