Harmed By a Heartburn Drug? Let Us Take Away Your Worry.
More than 15 million Americans take proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to treat heartburn. These drugs work to relieve heartburn and acid reflux by reducing the amount of stomach acid the body produces, but they can cause serious problems in some patients. PPIs have been linked to significant health problems, including an increased risk of chronic kidney disease.

Since opening our doors in 1989, we’ve been committed to helping our clients in any way possible, and we’ve secured more than $500 million in settlements and verdicts on their behalf. Through every step of your case, we will put your interests first as we pursue the best possible result for your case.
