Canada Lawyers Answer Frequently Asked Questions About Vioxx

We have compiled answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the Vioxx recall and pending lawsuits.

Are you definitely filing a lawsuit against Merck, and when?

We are definitely filing lawsuits against Merck and have done so in U.S. state courts in conjunction with a U.S. law firm that we are working with.

Can I be part of more than one Vioxx class action lawsuit?

No, you can only participate in one lawsuit.

Can I be part of a class action lawsuit being filed in the U.S.?

Yes, however you must be mindful of 2 things:

1. the U.S. court may throw out a claim by a Canadian plaintiff on jurisdictional grounds; and
2. tort reform, if passed as promised by President Bush, may limit the amount of money available from U.S. courts

As a result of these and other potential problems, we are carefully monitoring all of our clients' claims and are preserving their right to sue in Canadian courts in the event that Canadians are unable to pursue their remedy in U.S. courts.
