Will I be part of a class action or an individual Tepezza lawsuit?

For the time being, if you have suffered hearing loss or tinnitus as a result of Tepezza infusion treatment, to pursue compensation for your injuries, the open option for you is to file an individual Tepezza lawsuit.

One important compensation-related aspect is that the Tepezza treatment is already a rather costly one, but the costs associated with hearing loss problems could make it up to two times as costly.

Though the process of the consolidation of Tepezza lawsuits into multidistrict litigation (MDL) has been initialized, it is only in the preliminary stages with no certain outcome. Facts:

• as of January 2023, a group of at least 10 plaintiffs filed a petition with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, calling for consolidation of all Tepezza lawsuits into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) for consolidated pretrial proceedings before one federal judge.
• Horizon Therapeutics, the manufacturer of the teprotumumab (Tepezza) has objected to the call to consolidate Tepezza hearing loss lawsuits, on grounds that the cases will be too different to benefit from pretrial coordination.

The Tepezza infusion drug manufacturer failed to properly warn about the high rate of hearing loss disorders that can occur as adverse effects of the Tepezza treatment. The initial warning set an occurrence rate of 10%, but later studies have shown that this rate can be alarmingly higher, reaching as much as 65%.

Any health condition takes a toll on the life of the patient, and as such, hearing loss symptoms are no exception. They can seriously affect the quality of life of the patient suffering from them. Having our team at Atraxia Law handle every detail of the case, including the assessment of your medical documentation, will minimize your involvement in this demanding process so that you can focus on your priorities.
