Below are examples of our proven track record in pharmaceutical litigation, demonstrating our commitment to holding negligent drug manufacturers accountable.
Levaquin Litigation, MDL. No. 1943.
Levaquin, a powerful antibiotic used to treat sinus, skin, and urinary tract infections, has been linked to serious side effects, including an increased risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture. Carey, Danis & Lowe currently represents over 1,500 individuals who have had a serious injury while taking the drug Levaquin.
Yaz/Yasmin Birth Control Pill Litigation, MDL No. 2100.
In August 2009, two epidemiological studies were published showing a significant increased risk of injuries and disease among women taking the birth control pill Yaz/Yasmin.
Carey, Danis & Lowe represents individuals who were seriously injured as a result of taking Yaz and/or Yasmin, including women who suffered stroke, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and gall bladder disease.
In October 2009, all personal injury claims related to Yaz/Yasmin pending in federal courts throughout the country were transferred to Judge David Herndon in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.
Judge David Herndon named CD&L to the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee, giving the firm a significant leadership role in obtaining recovery for clients across the nation.
Rezulin Litigation, MDL No. 1348.
CD&L represented dozens of individuals throughout the Midwest who incurred serious liver damage as a result of ingesting Rezulin. The cases were actively litigated in federal court, leading to a multi-million dollar settlement on behalf of CD&L’s clients.
Fen-Phen Litigation, MDL No. 1203.
In 1997, the drug manufacturer Wyeth withdrew its diet drugs Fenfluramine (part of the “fen-phen” diet drug combination) and Dexfenfluramine (“Redux“) from the market after discussions with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Reports connected Fen-Phen and Redux with valvular heart disease and primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), a deadly lung disease.
Since 1997, Carey, Danis & Lowe has been involved in representing thousands of diet drug victims and their families. At both the state and federal court levels, CD&L has played a leading role in helping the victims of Fen-Phen recover damages for their injuries.
These cases have resulted in dozens of multi-million dollar individual settlements over the last decade.
In addition to resolving cases through settlement, CD&L has achieved results in diet drug litigation through trial and verdicts. Members of CD&L have tried diet drug cases in both state and federal courts throughout the last decade.
More recently, CD&L tried to jury verdicts the only diet drug cases in federal court throughout the United States. To date, the firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of individuals injured by Fen-Phen.
Baycol Litigation, MDL No. 1431.
CD&L represented over two hundred individuals who were injured as the result of taking Baycol, a cholesterol-lowering drug manufactured by Bayer that is linked with rhabdomyolysis, a condition that causes muscle cell breakdown (atrophy) and results in, among other symptoms, muscle pain, weakness, and tenderness.
In the aggregate, these cases settled for many millions of dollars.
Vioxx Litigation, MDL No. 1657.
In October 2004, Merck voluntarily recalled its prescription painkiller drug, Vioxx.
CD&L represented over 2,200 individuals and their families who were injured or killed as a result of taking Vioxx.
Our firm was Counsel in multiple cases pending in Madison County, Illinois. Donahoo v. Merck, Case No. 05-L-118. To date, the firm has recovered well over $130 million for its clients.
