Bloomberg reports that Pfizer has won another lawsuit involving Prempro. The federal jury in West Virginia ruled that Leah Royce Hines’ breast cancer was not caused by her use of the hormone drug – Prempro.
Mrs. Hine’s lawyer, Harry F. Bell Jr. of The Bell Law Firm, said “the verdict is not surprising given the defense’s resources and how restricted the evidence in the case was.” Mr. Bell went on to state:
The defense’s resources also were considerable.
“I wish people could understand the time and resources they put into this case,” he said.
Bell said the company’s attorneys set up a temporary office in downtown Charleston and brought in jury consultants and focus groups.
Then they bombarded the court with motions, he said.
“They just pounded us on every single argument, every single point,” Bell said. “They slammed the court and us with a lot of motions. And I’d say the vast majority of those motions, the defendants won.”
