Merck Faces 27,000 Personal Injury Lawsuits; Wins 8 And Loses 4 So Far

Posted by TotalInjury.com Staff Writer | Posted in Personal Injury News

A New Orleans jury assessed that Merck had provided adequate warnings about the health risks for taking Vioxx and that plaintiff Gary Albright,  who filed a personal injury lawsuit against the drug maker, had untreated health problems for decades which led to his heart attack. 

While this jury ruled in favor of Merck in this particular personal injury case,  four other juries have ruled for the plaintiff in previous personal injury claims against Merck. 

Each of the 27,000 plaintiffs suing Merck for personal injury claims related to the drug Vioxx can still be hopeful about winning their personal injury lawsuits since they may have different circumstances than the plaintiff who lost his personal injury case in New Orleans on Wednesday.
