VerifiedYou should see a lawyer immediately as strict time limits apply to claims of this sort.
Limitation issues aside, whether your case has merit would depend on your ability to demonstrate a connection between your heart attack and the medication you took, as well as the seriousness of your consequent condition. A great deal would also depend on the assessment of your case by medical experts.
Only a lawyer with all the details of your circumstances, history, will be in a position to advise on the likely outcome of your case.
If cost is a concern, be aware that there are lawyers who will offer no win, no fee representation, for strong personal injury matters so shop around and find a lawyer that best suits your situation.
