Seeger Weiss Recovers $2 Million Verdict Against Pfizer For Liver Injury Resulting From Rezulin Use

In March 2003, following a six-week jury trial led by founding partner Chris Seeger, the firm achieved a $2 million verdict against Pfizer on behalf of Concepcion Morgado, a Brooklyn resident who sustained liver injury and was hospitalized for 10 days following her Rezulin use. The case was the first Rezulin matter to be tried in New York and represented a watershed result in the nationwide Rezulin litigation. Seeger Weiss subsequently reached a 'global' settlement with Pfizer, in which it recovered several million dollars on behalf of all of its Rezulin user clients.
