Researches show that regular exposure to the bladder medication Elmiron® causes vision problems.
Janssen Pharmaceuticals failed to warn about the eye damage risks that are associated with Elmiron® usage.
Hundreds already joined the lawsuit and may be eligible for compensation
5 separate research studies conducted in 2018 and 2019 show a clear connection between users of Elmiron® and retinal damage of the eyes. Specifically, pigmentary maculopathy. Janssen Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Elmiron®, did not use a warning label about the risks of vision loss. Due to lack of information, many people may have been mis-diagnosed over the years because the symptoms of pigmentary maculopathy match very well to other well known retinal conditions.

A contingency fee agreement is a legal fee agreement where a client only pays an attorney if the attorney is successful in recovering compensation on the client’s behalf. Under a contingency fee agreement, an attorney works on a case for a fixed percentage of any recovery paid to the client. The contingency fee percentage can vary from state to state and by the complexity of the legal matter but is typically 33% to 40% of the compensation received by the client. Under a contingency fee agreement, the client does not pay an attorney any up-front or on-going legal fees, and the client is not responsible for any legal fees if the attorney does not obtain compensation for the client.
