My mother was diagnosed at 71. Is she outside this?
The research found the strongest signal in adults under 65, and current claim criteria reflect that. A diagnosis after 65 is harder to separate from ordinary age-related risk, which is the practical reason for the line. We are happy to look at the circumstances, but we would be setting you up for disappointment if we suggested those claims are equally strong.
I took gabapentin for years but only have mild memory problems. Should I call?
If you have not been formally evaluated, the more useful step right now is a neurologist rather than a lawyer. A claim requires a diagnosis, and an evaluation serves your health first regardless of what it means legally.
My husband can no longer make decisions for himself. Can I do this?
Yes, with the right legal authority, whether that is an existing power of attorney, a guardianship, or appointment as personal representative if he has died. This comes up constantly in this litigation and it is a solvable problem.
I took Lyrica, not gabapentin. Does the research apply?
Not directly. The 2025 study examined gabapentin. Pregabalin is in the same drug class and works by a similar mechanism, and claims involving it are being investigated on that basis, but the specific evidence supporting a Lyrica claim is thinner today than the evidence for gabapentin.
How long do I have to file?
That depends on your state, and for drug cases the clock frequently starts when you knew or reasonably should have known that the injury might be connected to the medication, rather than when you took it. Given that this research was published in 2025, that distinction may matter a great deal.
What does it cost to have our case reviewed?
Nothing. The review is free and confidential whether or not we end up working together. If we do take your case, it is handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no attorney’s fee unless a recovery is made, and you are not asked to pay litigation costs out of pocket along the way. You will receive a written agreement setting out the fee and cost terms in full before you commit to anything.
