The Recall Lawyers

Attorneys representing Mirapex victims held a trial in July and August 2008, resulting in a $8.2 million dollar verdict. Mirapex, a drug for RLS (restless leg syndrome), Parkinson's Disease and MS, can cause compulsive behavior such as compulsive gambling, excessive spending, overeating and some sexual addiction side effects. The first and only trial to date, held by the Minnesota MDL court, involved a plaintiff who alleged financial losses of more than $200,000. The jury awarded those damages as well as more than $7 million in punitive damages against the drug companies.

The attorneys at Jones Ward PLC currently represent dozens of individuals who have taken Mirapex and experienced the horrific side-effects of compulsive behavior, including gambling, that have wrecked lives and torn apart families. There is a hearing scheduled for December 3, 2010, regarding the claims of fraud against the makers of Mirapex.

An Arkansas jury has issued a $19 million jury verdict on behalf of an Arkansas man paralyzed in a car wreck. The verdict was announced in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas against Ford Motor Co.

The lawsuit arose after 18-year-old Eric Polston was driving a Ford Windstar minivan about five years ago. He swerved to avoid hitting a dog but he was ejected from the vehicle despite wearing a seatbelt at the time. He suffered paralyzing injuries.
