Recalled drugs or other drugs with severe side effects are becoming all to familiar lately. Pharmaceutical drugs are prescribed to millions of Americans every year for a variety of conditions.  Consumers take these medications in order to relieve their symptoms.  In most cases, these drugs have a positive effect.  However, sometimes a drug has side effects that cause additional pain, disease, or even death.

Consumers who take over-the-counter (OTC) drugs can also experience adverse reactions from the medication.  It is important to alert your doctor to all types of medication you are taking - both prescription and medication purchased over-the-counter.

If you feel you have suffered any adverse reactions to a prescription or over-the-counter medication, you may have legal claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the drug such as the vioxx class action lawsuit and others.

Q. What is a multidistrict litigation?
A. Multidistrict litigation is a procedure utilized in the federal court system to transfer to one federal judge all pending civil cases of a similar type filed throughout the United States. The decision whether cases should be transferred is made by a panel of seven federal judges appointed by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. When a judge gets federal cases assigned, this is known as the "transferee judge."  Judges throughout the United States who send cases to the MDL judge are know as the "transferor judges" or "transferor courts."

Q. Is multidistrict litigation a type of class action?
A. No. Although class actions may be transferred to an MDL consolidation in the same manner as single plaintiff cases. However, for cases to be treated as proper for an MDL consolidation the Panel must find the one or more common questions of fact. Since commonality is also an required element for a class action, class actions are frequently litigated in MDL proceedings.

Q. What happens to a lawsuit after it is transferred to a federal judge by the Panel?
A. Generally, the transferee court (the MDL court) will set standing orders or pretrial orders informing the lawyers involved of the ground rules, deadlines and procedures the court expects the litigants to follow. Steering committees may be appointed to manage the substance of the litigation and the discovery of facts. In theory, discovery and case management by the MDL court should allow completion of pretrial matters, then the case must be remanded back to the transferor case for trial. The only cases that would not be remanded are those cases originally filed in the court with the MDL judge is seated. In practice, many cases sent to an MDL court are settled at some point in time during the pretrial proceedings.
