(PRWEB) October 22, 2004 -- Pellettieri, Rabstein & Altman lawyers have
represented injured New Jersey residents since 1929 with offices in Princeton,
Mt. Holly and now Nutley NJ. The firm is known for personal injury, workers’
compensation, medical malpractice and mass tort & class actions. And the
firm has a track record specifically in representing victims in defective drug
class action claims, including Fen-Phen and Baychol, as well as defective
implant products for hip and knee replacements.
“Americans pay higher
prices, we are told, to ensure drug safety. We will hold drug companies to their
promise – we will hold them responsible for drug safety,” explains Arthur Penn,
Esq., chairman of the mass torts and class action claims litigation department
at Pellettieri.
Clinical trials by the makers of VIOXX, confirmed
significantly increased chance of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular injury
among VIOXX patients. In fact, the evidence was so clear and the consequences so
severe that the study was cut short. The defective drug VIOXX has been withdrawn
from the market.
Unfortunately, this comes too late for too many
patients. The damage has already been done. And, Merck may have known more than
earlier reported. So, according a statement released by the New Jersey law
firm’s management committee, Pellettieri, Rabstein & Altman has decided its
lawyers will represent victims of VIOXX.
“Behind each injury is a
tragedy, a story to be told, a wrong to be righted, responsibility to be taken,
compensation due and closure needed, “ adds Joseph Gorman, Esq. an attorney in
mass tort and class action claim litigation at Pellettieri.
