Landmark Successes

Over the years, The Law Group, Ltd. has gained a national reputation for identifying dangerous and potentially fatal products, and for going against some of the world's most powerful corporations, including Bridgestone/Firestone, Bayer, Merck, the diet pill industry and the tobacco industry, with the goal of getting their hazardous and defective products removed from the market. The Law Group, Ltd. has been involved in many of the world's most high profile cases resulting in recoveries totaling over $280 billion.

Many of the groundbreaking cases that The Law Group, Ltd. has been involved in have directly benefitted our everyday lives such as being one of the 57 law firms to file a class action lawsuit on behalf of all smokers. As a result of this litigation, the tobacco industry can no longer target our children in their advertisements and it must pay $208 billion to the states.

The Law Group, Ltd. also filed the first nationwide class action lawsuit on behalf of all persons who suffered personal injuries caused by ingestion of the deadly diet drug combination known as Fen-Phen. On August 8, 2000, an order was entered giving Trial Court Approval to the nationwide class action settlement with American Home Products Corporation that could total up to $4.83 billion for those persons who have been injured.

Consistent with its history of helping to pave the way in large scale pharmaceutical litigation, The Law Group, Ltd. was heavily involved in the recent Multidistrict Litigation against Merck & Co., the manufacturers of the arthritis medication Vioxx. The Law Group, Ltd. has helped approximately 300 Plaintiffs who suffered either heart attack or ischemic stroke recover as part of the $4.85 billion dollar settlement reached in 2007, one of the largest in U.S. civil litigation history.

True to its mission of benefitting society through legal action, The Law Group, Ltd. continues to raise public awareness by being a watchdog for consumers.
