In an article on money.cnn dated 1/18/08, the following was stated:A total of 57,167 claimants have registered for the settlement program, which Fallon said represents about 95 percent of potential claimants. Merck has said it will withdraw from the agreement unless at least 85 percent of people in different groups of claimants sign on.A total of 3,065 claimants already have moved on to the next

In reading all the material that I can find on the Vioxx settlement and the ongoing litigation many questions come up. Here are some of the most important ones that I would like to ask my lawyer, if I could ever speak to him.Do I have any recourse if I do not agree to the settlement amount after signing this release?Do you have an estimate of what the settlement amount should be?What is the

Below is a statement posted on VPEG by David Egilman, MD. The good doctor has included his own titles and address to show his qualifications. "I am a physician & served as a witness at the request of plaintiffs in this litigation. I have seen or had access to most of the Merck documents. Most of the most important documents that demonstrate fraud and marketing practices have not been made public.

I just found a place where my attorney (allegedly) made some statements on December 27, 2007 at 7:39 pm. This is a copy of his “comment” on a blog at http://frommedskool.com.Mark Lanier said:“Please be more precise in your practice of medicine than you are in your blogging! First off, I (Mark Lanier) was not the “defense attorney.” I was the “Plaintiffs’ attorney.” Second, my “favorite piece of

My feelings of betrayal increased when I found that there was a “Master Settlement” agreement between Merck and plaintiffs' attorneys which states:Section 1.2.8.1 (pages 4 and 5)1.2.8.1 By submitting an Enrollment Form, the Enrolling Counsel affirms that he has recommended, or (if such Enrollment Form is submitted prior to February 28, 2008) will recommend by no later than the earlier date of the

I recently received my "settlement" pack and geez...the terms they state in this pack have so angered me. I feel as though I am experiencing betrayal from my attorney and so much more. It doesn’t matter how hard I try not to be upset/angry at this settlement “offer”, I can’t seem to get past it yet. Maybe because the more I investigate the whole Vioxx Litigation situation, the more I believe

I am about to become a victim of big business again. The very first time I believe I was victimized by this particular big business (Merck) was when my doctor prescribed Vioxx for my arthritis pain, through no fault of his own.I was not in great health, but I was doing really well controlling my diabetes, I was walking a mile a day about 3 days a week. I was eating healthier (more veggies,

Let me tell you, I have been "sick" since 2001. I really am gettng tired of being sick. This week it started out as a cold...now, I don't know what it is...I've started coughing so bad that I sound like a dog barking.I fell down on the 3rd of March and have been suffering back/hip pain since, especially when I bend over to pick something up. For me picking something up is an automatic response

Wow...has it been a long time!!I've been trying to train my dog Ginger. She is so adorable...and very personable. She cannot be in a different room than either my roommate or myself...its really funny sometimes. She follows us around all day long and if I go into one room and my roommate goes into another, she stops and looks at us and then decides who she is going to sit/lay by. She lets me know
