Your Attorneys for Provigil® and Nuvigil® Birth Defect Cases
Provigil® and Nuvigil® are two of the most commonly prescribed drugs for people suffering from excessive daytime sleepiness, which often stems from sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and other sleep disorders.
Parents should know that there’s a potential link between these drugs and an increased risk of birth defects. If your child suffered birth defects after you took Provigil or Nuvigil, you could be owed compensation for the many costs you’ve experienced as a result.

By taking legal action against the manufacturers who sold you the drug responsible for those birth defects, you can secure the finances you’ll need to care for your child now and in the future. Damages you might pursue in a lawsuit include past and future medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Demand Compensation, Accountability, and Justice
Drug injury claims are often about more than just compensation. They are about doing the right thing. As drug injury attorneys, we know that pharmaceutical companies get away with selling dangerous medications, but we also know that when injured people take a stand, it can make a difference.
By filing a lawsuit against the makers of Provigil and Nuvigil, you are demanding accountability. You deserve justice, and though no amount of compensation can heal a child, it can position a family to give that child the care they need.
It might seem intimidating to file a claim against a pharmaceutical company. That’s why we want to help. We know that you have responsibilities to meet, and a child to care for. We do the work and fight on your behalf, so you can give your child the care they deserve.
