“The announcement of the settlement of injury
and consumer claims is wonderful news for thousands of victims and their
families,” stated Plaintiffs’
Liason Counsel Elizabeth J. Cabraser of Lieff Cabraser Heimann &
Bernstein, LLP. “We credit the steadfast and
dedicated work of plaintiffs’ counsel, notably the members of the
Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee; the exceptional case management and
coordination of Judges Breyer, Kornreich, and Higbee, and special master
Fern Smith, all of whom oversaw the litigation; and the good faith of
Pfizer and its counsel, in reaching agreement on a fair and equitable
settlement. ”
“The settlement provides fair compensation to
patients who were prescribed Bextra and suffered adverse events,”
noted Jayne Conroy of Hanly Conroy Bierstein Sheridan Fisher Hayes, LLP. “It
permits claims to be resolved in an expeditious and fair manner without
the risks inherent in further litigation. ”
“Today, the safety and rights of the American
consumer are in jeopardy from the Bush Administration’s
push to provide legal immunity for corporations whose products may cause
devastating injuries,” observed Frank Pitre
of Cochett, Pitre, & McCarthy “The
settlement serves as another powerful example of how only through
private litigation can ordinary Americans obtain compensation for
injuries. ”
“The settlement will allow those with real
injuries to obtain quick compensation,” noted
Tom Cartmell of Wagstaff & Cartmell, “after
three years of hard litigation it will finally allow patients and their
family to put the injuries caused by Bextra behind them.
