Reuters reports the jury in the New Jersey Vioxx trial has found in favor of Merck, after only one day of deliberations. This is extremely disappointing to people with Vioxx claims against Merck, and to their lawyers.
New Jersey is home to Merck, and each member of the jury probably knows someone who works for Merck. Perhaps the concern that a plaintiff verdict would inflict financial damage to New Jersey played a part in the jury’s decisions. I’m sure more details will be coming soon.
I am a Dallas, Texas lawyer who has had the privilege of helping thousands of clients since 1971 in the areas of Personal Injury law and Social Security Disability.
The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent more than 45 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
