Vioxx Verdict
Everything is big in Texas, as they say. And a Texas jury just awarded a quarter-billion-dollar verdict to a widow who claimed her husband died from taking Vioxx. The amount of the award will undoubtedly be lowered by a couple orders of magnitude on appeal.
Derek Lowe has reaction from an industry insider. James Copland reacts from a legal perspective on PointOfLaw.com. Also on Point of Law, Ted Frank raised some issues last month that are sure to come up in Merck's appeal.
