Seroquel Lawsuit

February 22, 2010, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

LawyersUSA provides a status on what will likely be the first Seroquel lawsuit to go to a jury. Opening statements will be given today in a New Jersey Superior Court.

The lawyers defending the Seroquel lawsuits have certainly made it a point to publicly mock the merits of the well over 10,000 lawsuits that have been filed around the country. Certainly, many of the Seroquel lawsuits are not going to a jury because causation cannot be proved in some individual cases. And, give credit where credit is due - defense lawyers have done a good job defending these Seroquel lawsuits. Maybe this should be expected give the zillion dollars being spent to defend these cases. Still. I give these lawyers some credit.

Still, the arc of mass tort cases tends to be long. Defendants have a long history of winning the early battles even in cases that eventually turn towards plaintiffs. Could this be the Seroquel lawsuit that turn the tide? Stay tuned...
