The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals approved certification of a Rezulin class-action lawsuit against Pfizer, reversing a lower court’s November 2001 decision. The ruling also orders the lawsuit returned to trial court for further proceedings as a class action.
The Rezulin class-action lawsuit was brought on behalf of 5,000 West Virginians who seek to recover the costs of medical monitoring to determine whether they have been injured by the recalled diabetes drug.
Pfizer said it will defend the case vigorously.
The Associated Press reported that, “more than 2 million people took Rezulin before it was pulled from the market, and Pfizer has said it faces hundreds of lawsuits and claims over the drug.”.

Are there any settlement amount ranges for Rezulin “Silent Injury” complaints?

I am a former user of Rezulin who lost my kidneys. I live in Utah. Can anyone direct me to reliable attorney who might handle my case. I am not looking for ambulance chasers or opportunists. I want the name of an attorney of good character who I could retain.
