Re: Mother took Vioxx before death

There have been several class actions commenced against the manufacturer. If you cannot find references to those on the internet, actually righ on lawguru, consult a local personal injury attorney.

Absent a class action you are probably beyond the statute of limitations.

Re: Mother took Vioxx before death

This is a media quote from law.com:

"in an interesting development in Vioxx news, a New Orleans judge ruled that the $50M in compensatory damages were “grossly excessive.” The judge upheld the verdict finding Merck liable in the case, but he said a new trial must be held to decide how much the manufacturer must pay a retired FBI agent who suffered a 2002 heart attack after taking the painkiller for 2½ years.
