The anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx was recalled over five years ago September 30, 2004 after evidence came out that it causes stroke and heart attacks. Since then the Miskin firm has represented individual Vioxx users hurt by that drug who are making claims. In the USA a settlement is still being implemented for over two years and Merck recently paid the final installment of settlement money as US claims are processed. Meanwhile Merck still fights a class action lawsuit in Canadian courts and has not yet paid any claims. In 2010 the fight to get Canadians compensation has finally moved to the next stage with certification finalized and finally directions for the class action coming through the Ontario Court. Vioxx claimants now have a decision to make.
What should you do if you are involved in a car accident? Read our advice so you will be ready for this unfortunate event. This is not the usual propaganda from your insurance company but advice from a lawyer in your own interest. If you have more questions put them in a comment and we will add to our information posted here.
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.
The lawyers of Miskin Law Offices (Murray H. Miskin and Michelle E. Brown) are known for representing people in civil courts where claims are made for money. For personal injury claims we work on a contingency so you do not pay until we get results. We do not practice criminal or family law. A first consultation with us is always free.
