Vioxx lawsuit

A Vioxx lawsuit stems from reports of side effects including blood clots, heart attacks, and stroke. A Vioxx lawsuit attempts to recover funds related to damages suffered due to the use of Vioxx. Vioxx lawsuits fall under a category known as "products liability", claiming that the manufacturers of Vioxx (Vioxx lawsuit defendants) or their distributors, knew that the drug could cause harm. In a Vioxx lawsuit, as in any products liability suit, there must be proof that the defendants named in the Vioxx lawsuit failed to properly provide for the safety of the plaintiff, and that the person filing the Vioxx lawsuit was harmed as a result of the action or inaction of the manufacturer.
