Chantix: Auto Accident Lawyers Prepare for New Defense

Auto accidents lawyers should get ready for a new defense in accident claims: driving on Chantix. A safety group’s report last month found a possible association between more than two dozen auto accident and the quit smoking drug Chantix, leaving open the possiblity that auto accidents might result from using Chantix from seizures or visual disturbances.

Plaintiffs' auto accident lawyers will argue that a warning was added to the prescribing literature for Chantix that users should be careful when until they get a feel for how Chantix affects them. Still, driving while on Chantix is not a bad defense if the defendant can prove the relationship between the Chantix and the accident.

While such an outcome would be unfortunate for the plaintiff's auto accident lawyer and his client in that particular case, it would be of great help to Chantix lawyers around the country who are bringing lawsuit against Chantix for the drug's side effects.
