Each year, big pharmaceutical companies reap the rewards of sales from their drugs, many of which prove to be unsafe for the public. Weitz & Luxenberg, one of the leading plaintiffs’ litigation law firms in America, believes the public should be fully informed about all pharmaceutical medications before choosing to take them.

Our firm has successfully represented the victims of defective drugs and medical devices, including recently achieving a $13.5 million verdict against Merck & Co., maker of the dangerous pain medication Vioxx. We have also spearheaded litigation related to Johnson & Johnson's harmful birth-control patch Ortho Evra.
