NYC Yasmin Lawyer Representing People Injured by Birth Control Pills
People who took the birth control pill Yasmin (often marketed as Yaz) never imagined that the side effects could harm them as much as they did. But countless women were affected. They suffered many serious personal injuries that often changed their lives permanently:
- Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or DVT)
- Pulmonary embolism
- Gallbladder disease
- Pancreatitis
- Heart attacks
- Strokes (both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes)

We can review your medical records, conducting an investigation as to the true cause of the harm. Often, we partner with highly regarded medical experts who help us with the review.

Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman, P.C., has represented injured New Yorkers and their families for more than 40 years, so we know which legal strategies work best to obtain compensation for people who have been harmed by the medications they take.
Compensation for people injured by dangerous and defective pharmaceuticals like Yaz generally includes damages for medical expenses, lost income, loss of enjoyment, pain and suffering, as well as emotional damages in some cases. Surviving families of people who passed away while taking Yasmin may be entitled to damages for medical and funeral expenses, emotional anguish, lost earnings and loss of companionship.
What is Yaz, and why is it harmful? Yaz is a popular birth control pill manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Bayer. Along with its generic equivalent, Ocella, it is considered a "fourth generation" combination birth control pill, which contains a newer type of synthetic progestin called drospirenone. It is this synthetic progestin that is linked to the harmful side effects.
