ATTENTION: VIOXX CLIENTS
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.

Miskin Law proceeding across Canada with Yaz/Yasmin claims
The Bayer birth control pills Yaz or Yasmin can cause dehydration which causes an increase in the
potassium levels (hyperkalemia) and a decrease in the sodium levels (hyponatremia) in the body.
As potassium acts as a key control in cardiac rhythm, this imbalance can cause hyperkalemia
arrhythmias, which, in turn can cause blood clots and thrombotic events such as stroke or deep
vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or heart attack. Dehydration is also a risk factor for
kidney stones and gallbladder disease. While other birth control pills can also cause thrombotic events, the cause of those effects are from the estrogen side of the equation. The thrombotic effects of Yaz and Yasmin are from the progesterin side. While it has long been accepted that high estrogen levels can cause these
adverse events, Yaz/Yasmin/Ocella have been marketed as having low estrogen levels, thereby
having a lower risk for thrombotic events. There have been several studies that have
called this into question.
The Miskin Law firm is making claims related to these drugs and class action court actions have been started in Ontario, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. The class action proceedings take a long time to advance and they stop individual law suits from proceeding for now. We represent people to get them compensation both individually and through the class action process. Once there is certification by the court of the class action people will have a choice of claiming through it or trying to get more with special circumstances in an individual claim. Contact us if you believe you have been harmed by Yaz or Yasmin. Email Murray Miskin directly: miskinlaw@yahoo.com
Personal Injury and Insurance Claims
The Miskin law firm is highly experienced and capable in handling accident claims by bringing insurance claims and getting compensation for injury victims with work done on a contingency fee basis. There is major compensation available in no fault benefits and also in claims against the insurers of at fault drivers for “catastrophic” and “serious and permanent” car accident injuries in Ontario. We discourage motorists from trying to save money by reducing or accepting a reduction of their benefit coverage.
