Kratom Death Lawsuit Filed in Pennsylvania
In April 2019, SoCal Herbal Remedies was hit with a wrongful death lawsuit by the family of Caleb Sturgis, a 25 year-old man who died in a car accident after the coroner determined that a “fatal kratom overdose” caused his heart to stop.
Kratom Lawsuit Filed for Girl with Brain Damage
In September 2018, the mother of Brette Tabar filed a lawsuit against 3 kratom tea bars in Florida, claiming that her daughter’s use of kratom caused her to suffer permanent brain damage.
What is Kratom?
Kratom supplements originate from Southeast Asia, where the plant has been used medicinally for centuries. Depending on the dose, kratom can relieve anxiety or pain, or act as a mild stimulant. It is also commonly used to relieve the symptoms of opioid withdrawal.
What is the problem?
The Schmidt Firm, PLLC is nationally recognized as a class action law firm, but we are not filing a class action for people who were injured by kratom. Instead, we are filing individual lawsuits for people who used kratom and experienced severe side effects, such as:
- Overdose
- Kratom toxicity
- Liver failure
- Death
About Class Actions
Class action lawsuits are beneficial for a lot of people with similar legal claims, such as seeking a refund. The problem is that everyone in a class action must share the payout, which can be a disadvantage for individuals with severe injuries after taking dangerous supplements.
Why Our Law Firm is Filing Individual Lawsuits as Opposed to a Class Action
Instead of a class action, our law firm is filing individual kratom lawsuits so that we can focus on seeking financial compensation for people with severe injuries. If you file a lawsuit, we may be able to help you seek justice and compensation for your medical expenses, pan and suffering, permanent injuries, lost income, and more.
