NuvaRing MDL Spots Still Open for Plaintiffs
By John Curran
There is good news for women who have suffered from NuvaRing blood clot side effect and any related conditions. Since the statute of limitations on filing claims is not up for many women, the NuvaRing multidistrict litigation (MDL) judge has kept the docket open for more claims. It gives some time for legal consultations for people who have been hurt as a result of the contraceptive device.
Even more significant is a decision hat the judge made against the device manufacturer Merck & Co. All internal studies relating to NuvaRing stroke side effects and related conditions have to be released to plaintiffs and their NuvaRing MDL attorneys. This could help when they prepare their cases, but it is important to note that it is a pre-trial motion and the plaintiffs will have to prove the documents’ admissibility when the cases start.
Of course, decisions like that are not the only ones that NuvaRing blood clot side effects victims face. While the largest number of cases are in the multidistrict litigation, there is also a growing number of cases being filed in New Jersey. There, NuvaRing side effects lawsuit lawyers are filing claims which have been moved into a state-level multi-county litigation. The two main reasons are that the judge overseeing the case is experienced with medical product liability and Merck & Co. is based in the Garden State.
While it might seem odd, many NuvaRing MDL attorneys prefer doing that because it limits the amount of delaying tactics that a company can employ. For example, Merck & Co. can’t argue its an unnecessary burden for executives to travel if it’s less than 40 miles. It also mans fewer delaying tactics in delivering the studies on NuvaRing stroke side effects and related conditions to the court and its plaintiffs.
