Merck Wins Vioxx Trial In New Jersey

July 13 (Bloomberg) — Merck & Co. won a trial over a grandmother’s claim that its painkiller Vioxx caused her heart attack, reducing pressure on the company to settle more than 12,000 of lawsuits about the drug.

A jury in state court in Atlantic City, New Jersey, rejected claims by Elaine Doherty, 68, who survived a heart attack after taking Vioxx more than two years. The drug didn’t contribute to her heart attack, jurors found.

The case is Doherty v. Merck & Co., L-638-05, Superior Court, New Jersey (Atlantic City).

About This Blog

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...)
