DECISION 2010: Canadian Vioxx Claims

By Murray Miskin ⋅ July 1, 2010 ⋅ 45 comments

The anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx was recalled over five and a half years ago September 30, 2004 after evidence came out that it causes stroke and heart attacks. Since then the Miskin law firm has represented individual Vioxx users hurt by that drug and their family members who are making claims. In the USA a settlement is being implemented and Merck recently paid the final installment of settlement money as US claims are processed. Meanwhile Merck still fights class action lawsuits in Canadian courts and has not yet paid any claims outside of the United States. In 2010 the fight to get Canadians compensation has finally moved to the next stage with certification finalized and directions for the class action coming now through the Ontario Court. Vioxx claimants across Canada (except for Saskatchewan and Quebec) had a decision to make with a June 30, 2010 deadline on whether to claim through the class action or opt out of it. We are now representing clients inside and outside of the class action. If you have a serious heart attack or stroke injury following use of Vioxx and do not have a lawyer contact miskinlaw@yahoo.com. We are representing claimants both inside and outside of the class action.
