Third-Party Payors' Class Certification Upheld in Vioxx Case
Non-governmental health plans that paid for their member's Vioxx prescriptions obtained class action certification in their lawsuit against Merck. A NJ appeals court upheld the certification, which would entitle them to triple damages if the claims are successful. The class consisting of health insurers, unions, and large employers is represented by lead attorney Chris Seeger. Reuters, Reuters 03/31/2006 Read Article: Reuters
