Skilled Malpractice Attorney Serving Testosterone Treatment Victims and Families in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Areas
Philadelphia attorney John A. Mattiacci, Jr. has experience in many areas of personal injury. Currently, he is investigating potential testosterone treatment lawsuits against drug manufacturers. Recent studies have shownevidence that taking prescription testosterone drugs may increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular disease. If you have suffered injuries from taking low testosterone treatments, also known as “Low T” drugs, you may have grounds for a testosterone treatment lawsuit.
The federal Food And Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a safety alert that it is investigating the risk of stroke, heart attack, and death in men taking FDA-approved testosterone products. Testosterone drugs, such as Androgel ®, are widely prescribed and are used to increase low testosterone levels and increase sex drive.
A large scale study published on January 29, 2014 found the risk of heart attack in older men, and in younger men with pre-existing heart disease, substantially increased following testosterone treatment. The same article noted that a study of patients over the age of 60 in the Veterans Administration health care system, many with pre-existing heart conditions, showed an increased risk of death or heart disease following testosterone treatment.
The FDA is asking patients and doctors to report side effects involving prescription testosterone products to the FDA MedWatch program. The FDA approved certain testosterone drug formulations, such as a topical gel, transdermal patch, buccal system (which is applied to upper gum or inner cheek), and injection. However, given the studies showing the risks of taking such medications, the FDA will be investigating the dangers caused by taking Low T drugs.
Some common testosterone drugs, also known as Low T drugs, include the following prescription medications:
- Androderm ® (testosterone patch)
- AndroGel ® (testosterone gel)
- Depo ®-Testosterone (testosterone cypionate injection)
- Fortesta ® (testosterone gel)
- Methitest ® (methyltestosterone tablets)
- Axiron ® (testosterone topical solution)
- Delatestryl ® (testosterone enanthate injection)
- Striant ® (testosterone buccal tablet)
- Testim ® (testosterone gel)
- Testopel ® (testosterone pellets)
- Testred ® (methyltestosterone capsules)
Client Testimonial
I have never been through the legal process before, so when I had an unfortunate incident at a local restaurant, Mr. Mattiacci expertly guided me and made the entire process smooth and easy. I would highly recommend John Mattiacci Jr. to anyone who needs representation. He is not only professional but takes the time to understand the personal side of your case. He and his staff were always pleasant to work with and they remained diligent in all aspects of my case until it was resolved. His confidence was reassuring in a situation which could be daunting to most.

Some of the most common side effects include:

- Breast enlargement.
The foregoing are only a few of the many risks associated with Low T drugs.

- Contact a product liability lawyer with experience in handling testosterone therapy lawsuits.
Generally speaking, the deadline for filing a Pennsylvania product liability lawsuit is two years after the date of the injury. Under certain circumstances, however, it can be tricky determining the exact date of the “injury.” Consult with your lawyer on this matter after he becomes familiar with the facts of your case. This is another reason why it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, you might be eligible for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost earnings
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Non-economic damages such as
- pain and suffering,
- emotional distress,
- mental anguish, and
- loss of quality of life.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania have both enacted wrongful death statutes that enable the personal representative of the deceased victim’s estate (normally a close relative) to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Damages go to certain close relatives.The personal representative may also seek to have the deceased victim’s estate reimbursed for funeral and burial expenses, etc.
You must prove certain facts, including the following:
- You were physically harmed
- The drug was defective in some way – defectively designed, for example
- The drug actually caused the harm you are experiencing
Under most circumstances it is possible to start off seeking a settlement and then proceed to file a lawsuit if any settlement offer is unacceptable. Typically, our firm aggressively pursues claims and will file a lawsuit as soon as we feel the opposing party is not willing to settle a claim for what we consider to be appropriate. Filing suit does not mean the case cannot settle. However, filing suit starts the process and helps to apply pressure to the defense so they offer you a just settlement. Even after you file a lawsuit, while we are fully prepared to go to trial, there is always an opportunity to settle the case at any point in litigation. This includes up to and during trial.
