Zometa /Aredia
Lawsuit
Status
Our Legal Team
has been appointed to the
Plaintiff Steering Committee.
This committee has
the power to determine:
-what legal
theories to pursue,
-what depositions will be taken and how to conduct
discovery.
On
March 30, 2006, our legal team argued that product liability actions against
Novartis, makers of Zometa and Aredia, be tried as Multi-District Litigation
(MDL) cases.
The Defendant
Novartis opposed this motion.
On April 18, 2006, The
Judicial Panel on
Multidistrict Litigation granted the motion.
We argued for this
because we believe that this process will save time and costs necessary to
litigate these cases.

Actonel Jaw Osteonecrosis Lawsuit Information
Symptoms of bone death in the jaw include:
Actonel ® is a type of drug known as bisphosphonates. Recently a link has been found between bisphosphonates and a serious bone disease called osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). This important discovery clearly shows that Actonel ® side effects may include osteonecrosis of the jaw.
Bisphosphonates are commonly used in
tablet form such as Fosamax ® (Alendronate Sodium) and Actonel to prevent and treat osteoporosis in
post-menopausal women. Stronger forms of bisphosphonates are commonly used in
the management of advanced cancers that have metastasized to the bone, where the
disease often causes bone pain and possibly even fractures. Several cancers can
involve or metastasize to the bone, including lung cancer, breast cancer,
prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, and others. When bisphosphonates are given in
cancer chemotherapy, the drugs,such as Zometa ®
and Aredia ®,are given intravenously, and usually for longer periods of time.
About Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ)
Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ) is a condition in which the bone tissue in the jaw fails to heal after minor trauma such as a tooth extraction, causing the bone to be exposed. The exposure can eventually lead to infection and fracture and may require long-term antibiotic therapy or surgery to remove the dying bone tissue.

What Seperates Us
Our ability to try cases sets us apart from other
litigation firms.

not have the desire or the experience to take
the final step in the
litigation process.
Our ability to take a case to trial gives our
clients a
significant edge in two important aspects.
First, we
prepare cases with an eye to trial needs,
avoiding unnecessary
delays.
Second, our ability to go to trial allows us to negotiate a
settlement, if appropriate, from a position of strength.
We will not
settle a case unless our attorneys are confident
that a satisfactory
result has been obtained.
Finally, we know that privacy is of utmost
importance to our
clients. From your first inquiry, we are committed to
safeguarding your identity, your case and your concerns.
If you have been injured by Actonel ® side effects you may be entitled to compensation. For more information about your legal rights
