On September 6, 2007, the New Jersey Supreme Court reversed the Superior Court's decision certifying the certification of the class. As a result Local 68 is no longer permitted to represent the interests of other VIOXX players in the litigation. If you already have counsel concerning any actual or potential claims you may have relating to your purchase or reimbursement for VIOXX, then the impact of this ruling on your claims, are a matter for you and your counsel to discuss. If you do not have counsel, however, please understand that the New Jersey Supreme Court’s decision may affect the time within which you have to pursue a claim for your VIOXX purchases or reimbursements. The impact of the decision on applicable statutes of limitations can be a complex analysis and one that may benefit from consultation with counsel.
It is important to bear in mind that as a result of the New Jersey Supreme Court's decision, Seeger Weiss LLP does not currently maintain an attorney-client (or any other) relationship with you. Nor does it represent you concerning any of your actual or potential VIOXX claims, unless you have entered into a specific written agreement with Seeger Weiss LLP to do so. However, if you would like to discuss your rights in connection with your VIOXX expenditures, or potential measures to redress any claims you may have, please feel free to contact us.
