Celebrex Class Action Lawsuit – Overview/Update

The popular arthritis drug, Celebrex, has been prescribed to over 29
million people since it was introduced a decade ago, according to the
Pfizer website. The first of what is believed to be a flood of class
action lawsuits was filed in Illinois in late 2004 and the tally will
probably swell as the number of end users experience adverse health
problems from using the painkiller and inflammation reducer over a
period of time. A Celebrex class action lawsuit aggregates mass claims
into a single action brought by one or more representatives of the
class.

There are pros and cons to a Celebrex class action lawsuit. Filing as
a class has benefits. You may receive compensation for a wrong,
injury, or loss you have sustained -- compensation that may not have
been available to you in any other forum. Through inclusion in a class
of similarly harmed persons, you also demonstrate to the court that
the alleged harm done was substantial and impacted a large number of
people, increasing both the likelihood of recovery and its size.
Moreover, the only costs to you will be drawn from any settlement or
judgment proceeds upon successful resolution of the case. By pooling
money and hiring a class action attorney, individuals can compete with
the giant pharmaceutical.

Disadvantages to a Celebrex class action lawsuit include the chance
that your total damage award will be somewhat lower than what you
would have received had you filed separately. Another disadvantage of
a class action suit is that you lose the freedom of running your own
trial, including the freedom to use a number of legal options such as
settling out of court on your own claim. In an individual action, your
attorney will tailor his or her trial tactics to your precise
situation and deal with you as an individual as opposed to legal
representation from a class action lawyer who you may never have seen
or dealt with.
