What is Nexium
- Nexium (generic name esomeprazole) is a proton-pump inhibitor used to treat GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), duodenal ulcer disease, and erosive esophagitis.
- Proton-pump inhibitors are a group of drugs designed mainly to reduce stomach acid (gastric acid). Proton pump inhibitors are believed by some “experts” to be the most powerful and effective inhibitors of stomach acid secretions on the market today.
- Nexium is also used to prevent gastric ulcers in patients receiving long-term NSAID therapy, and to treat Crohn’s disease patients with gastrointestinal ulcers.
- Nexium may also be used to prevent gastric ulcer caused by infection with helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), or by the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

How Can a Nexium Lawsuit Attorney Help If You’ve Been Injured?
If you or a loved one has experienced serious health complications such as kidney damage or heart attack after taking Nexium, pursuing legal action can seem daunting. A skilled Nexium lawsuit attorney can provide the expertise and support you need to hold the responsible parties accountable. Here’s how they can assist you:
1. Evaluating Your Case
A Nexium lawsuit attorney will conduct a thorough assessment of your medical history and the circumstances surrounding your injuries. They’ll determine whether your health issues are linked to Nexium or other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and advise you on the strength of your claim.
2. Explaining Your Legal Rights
Understanding your rights under product liability laws is crucial when filing a claim. Your attorney will educate you on the legal remedies available, ensuring you are aware of your entitlement to compensation for medical expenses, loss of income, and other damages.
3. Filing Your Nexium Claim
The process of filing a claim against Nexium’s manufacturer involves adhering to strict procedures, deadlines, and evidence collection:
- Identifying Responsible Parties: Your Nexium lawsuit attorney will pinpoint the companies responsible for your injuries, including manufacturers of PPIs.
- Submitting Required Documents: They will prepare and file the necessary paperwork, such as proof of injury, medical documentation, and purchase records for Nexium.
- Meeting Deadlines: Your lawyer ensures your claim is filed within the statute of limitations, which varies by state.
4. Building a Strong Case
Proton pump inhibitor lawsuits often require conclusive evidence linking the drug to your injuries. A Nexium attorney will collaborate with medical experts to establish liability and demonstrate how the drug caused or worsened your condition. They’ll also gather research, data, and expert testimony to strengthen your case.
5. Pursuing Compensation for Damages
Victims of Nexium-related injuries may be entitled to financial compensation for the following:
- Medical Expenses: Past and future costs associated with treatments for kidney failure, heart disease, or other complications.
- Lost Wages: Income you’ve lost due to time off work or inability to return to your profession.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical and emotional distress caused by your injuries.
- Punitive Damages: Additional damages aimed at penalizing the manufacturer for negligence.
6. Negotiating Settlements
Many Nexium lawsuits are resolved through settlements rather than trials. Your attorney will negotiate with the responsible parties to secure fair compensation without the stress of taking the case to court. However, if an adequate settlement cannot be reached, they’ll represent you in court.
7. Reducing Your Stress
Filing a lawsuit while recovering from health issues can be overwhelming. A Nexium attorney handles all legal aspects of your case so you can focus on your health and well-being.
8. No Upfront Legal Costs
At Matthews & Associates, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if we recover compensation on your behalf. This allows you to pursue justice without worrying about financial strain.
