Hepatitis A

If you were sickened by hepatitis A, you already know the pain and suffering it causes. What’s worse is knowing that the hepatitis A you contracted could have been prevented. But who will pay for your medical bills, time off work, and pain and suffering due to your hepatitis A sickness?

Symptoms of Hepatitis A

The symptoms of hepatitis A do not exhibit immediately. Typically, the start of the illness will be from 15 to 45 days following exposure. About 15 percent of hepatitis A victims will experience symptoms for six to twelve months following their diagnosis.

Hepatitis A may cause such symptoms as:

Dark Urine
Fatigue
Fever
Jaundice

Loss of Appetite
Nausea
Stomach Ache
Vomiting

Three out of four people with hepatitis A do not experience symptoms.

What to do if You Get Hepatitis A

Seek immediate medical help. Contact a health care provider immediately if you or someone you care about exhibits symptoms of hepatitis A.

Seek legal help quickly. The longer you wait to get advice from an experienced attorney, the harder it will be to prove your hepatitis A case.
