Our client, Carol Ernst, was the first to sue and beat corporate giant Merck. The case of Ernst v. Merck concluded on August 19th, 2005, and the jury found Vioxx was the cause of husband Bob Ernst’s death. Although several thousand cases are expected to be filed against Merck over its drug Vioxx, this was the first case to go to trial, and will no doubt set the precedent for the others to follow.

Our firm has been working on litigation involving Vioxx against its manufacturer, Merck & Co., Inc., since 2001.

We currently have many cases in courts across the country, have already deposed numerous Merck representatives, and have several additional trial dates in 2005.

Our firm has produced outstanding results for our clients based on decades of litigation expertise, superior trial skills and a never-ending passion to protect our clients’ rights.
