Gardasil, a vaccine approved to protect people against certain strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), is now the subject of multiple lawsuits due to potentially serious side effects. If you’ve developed an illness or severe symptoms from this medication, you deserve justice.

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with a serious medical condition after receiving the Gardasil vaccine, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. A Gardasil lawyer at NST Law will review your situation and guide your case from start to finish. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.

Legal Help for Victims of Gardasil

Vaccines should protect patients from serious diseases, not cause them harm. If you have suffered severe side effects or lost a loved one resulting from the Gardasil HPV vaccine, you may be entitled to compensation.

Contrary to how the vaccine was advertised by its manufacturer, Merck, Gardasil may actually increase the risk of severe health conditions instead of preventing them. An experienced Gardasil vaccine lawyer at NST Law will fight for the compensation you deserve.

What Is Gardasil?

HPV is a viral infection spread through close skin-to-skin contact. It is the most common sexually transmitted disease. While most HPV cases are benign, if left untreated, they can sometimes lead to cervical cancer.

Merck developed Gardasil as a vaccine to prevent HPV. It received FDA approval in 2006, after which the pharmaceutical company aggressively marketed the drug to convince millions of parents to vaccinate their adolescents.

The original version of Gardasil was discontinued in May 2017 following the introduction of Gardasil 9, which is currently the only HPV vaccine available in the United States. Unfortunately, the dangers of the vaccine are disturbing. One study showed that several years after the approval of Gardasil in Britain, rates of cervical cancer among young women aged 25–29 increased by 54 percent.

What Are the Side Effects of the Gardasil Vaccine?

The Gardasil vaccine has been linked to many negative side effects ranging from minor symptoms like “brain fog” and headaches to severe autoimmune disorders, premature ovarian failure, and even death. The most common side effects of the Gardasil vaccine include:

  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Neurological disorders
  • Movement disorders
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Reproductive disorders, including premature ovarian failure (POF)
  • Lupus
  • Chronic pain syndrome
  • Small fiber neuropathy
  • Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)
  • Chronic fatigue syndromes
  • Wrongful death

Some people experience side effects within months of receiving the vaccine, while others do not until many years later. One of the most prevalent long-term side effects seen in Gardasil lawsuits is POF. For example, in one study published in BMJ Case Reports, an adolescent experienced POF after receiving an HPV vaccine, which was considered a possible adverse event following the vaccination.

Who Is Liable in a Gardasil Lawsuit?

Gardasil lawsuits are generally filed against Merck & Co., the pharmaceutical giant that developed and marketed the vaccine. They received fast-track FDA approval for the drug in just six months, meaning there wasn’t adequate research in the clinical trial phase on the side effects of the drug. Several years later, numerous medical professionals collaborated in an article published by the British Medical Journal criticizing Merck’s Gardasil clinical trials, outlining the flaws in the company’s methodology.

Current lawsuits allege Merck either knew or should have known this vaccine was harmful but continued to pursue approval and sold the drug anyway. If you or a loved one experienced serious side effects, you should speak with an attorney about filing a Gardasil vaccine lawsuit.

Merck’s History of Defective Pharmaceutical Drugs

This isn’t Merck’s first time under the microscope after releasing defective pharmaceutical drugs. The company recalled Vioxx, an anti-inflammatory drug, in 2004 after it was discovered the drug increased the risk of cardiovascular issues like stroke and heart attack. After losing millions from this recall, Merck aggressively marketed Gardasil by making the public believe there was a nationwide HPV epidemic.

What Compensation Can You Receive Through a Gardasil Lawsuit?

Numerous product liability lawsuits have been filed against Merck, alleging the company failed to sufficiently warn providers and patients of the potential risks associated with the drug. Plaintiffs claim they or a loved one suffered severe side effects after getting the Gardasil vaccine. They also claim the drug maker knew about the risks but continued to market the vaccine as effective and safe.

The lawsuits seek to recover compensation on behalf of injury victims. Damages available through a Gardasil may include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability or disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium
  • Punitive damages
  • Wrongful death

Merck continues to vehemently deny any wrongdoing or negligence related to the safety of its vaccine. Our product liability attorneys are ready to help victims push back.

How To File a Gardasil Lawsuit

In 2022, a Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation approved consolidating all current Gardasil vaccine lawsuits into a new multidistrict litigation (MDL) based in North Carolina. An MDL is a legal process consolidating and coordinating multiple cases from different jurisdictions into a single federal court, streamlining the process for injury victims.

If you received the Gardasil 9 or Gardasil HPV vaccine and experienced debilitating or severe side effects, you may be eligible to file a Gardasil lawsuit to pursue damages. Filing a lawsuit against a pharmaceutical giant might seem intimidating. Here are some steps to help you get the best possible results:

  • Consult with a seasoned attorney – A legal advocate with experience in pharmaceutical litigation will outline your options and guide you through this complex legal process. Your attorney will also act as a liaison between you, the defendants, and their insurance companies so you can focus on your well-being and not legal red tape.
  • Gather medical evidence – Documentation of your side effects, medical records, and expert testimony can help build a strong Gardasil vaccine case. Our pharmaceutical product liability lawyers can devise a strong case strategy for your unique circumstances.
  • Be patient – Major pharmaceutical litigation generally doesn’t resolve quickly. You’ll need to be patient as the legal process unfolds. While you focus on your recovery, our product liability attorneys will focus on navigating your case through the legal system.
