In Canada the National Vioxx Class Action is proceeding after the dismissal of the final appeals by Merck. Mr. Justice Cullity set directions for the next steps which included the opportunity for people to opt out until June 30, 2010. We sent out letters advising each of our clients on this issue except for clients in Quebec and Saskatchewan where this class action is not applicable. We submitted forms for our clients opting out. If you are represented by a different law firm please contact that firm (not us) for advice. If you are not yet represented by a lawyer for a Vioxx claim and believe your claim to be one of serious injury contact our firm to ensure that your rights are protected. Now that it is after June 30 your claim are part of the Class Action if you did nothing and you will have no option to seek more compensation. We received back responses from most of our clients and all opt out forms received have been submitted by us. Anyone may ask a general question or comment about the Vioxx case by posting a comment here.
Murray Miskin is a lawyer in Ontario who first worked on asbestos claims in 1979 and is now getting compensation for people all over Canada for Mesothelioma and other asbestos illness. Compensation comes from a number of different American trust funds set up when asbestos manufacturers were put out of business due to a large number of serious claims. The work done by the Miskin Law Firm regarding Mesothelioma and other cancers and asbestos illnesses is done on a contingency fee basis. You will not pay any legal costs except from compensation you actually receive through our work on your behalf. Contact miskinlaw@yahoo.com or call our office toll free at 1-877-428-8000. We do work with Workers Compensation Boards as necessary to protect our clients' interests. With a clear diagnosis we can guarantee compensation for persons who are not eligible for Workers Compensation benefits. This includes family members of workers who may have been exposed to asbestos when an asbestos worker brings it home as dust in clothing or otherwise. In some cases you can receive both compensation from the asbestos trusts and from Workers Compensation but in some Provinces and situations Workers Compensation takes away your right to claim other compensation. Email miskinlaw@yahoo.com and we will get back to you quickly.
